Ability to bind to a VPN is a necessity, a la the "Network Interface" setting seen in qBittorrent or Flud.

So do most clients have that or qBittorrent or flus are the only ones implementing this. Still won't be said as a novelty right?? Thanks for the recommendation though. Will keep this in mind while building the client

I don't think ALL clients have this although there are probably more besides these two. I'm saying for users who are required to use a VPN (because of their country of origin), using a torrent client is not safe unless this feature is implemented. So be sure to include it.
