Interface control

A graphical application for managing network interfaces and routing traffic from specific applications through selected interfaces.

Features

• Add or remove network interfaces (e.g., TAP interfaces).
• List all network interfaces and mark newly added interfaces.
• Route traffic from selected applications through chosen network interfaces.
• Process selection interface with sortable columns by PID and process name.
• Launch applications bound to specific interfaces using IP addresses.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• Dependencies: Install the following libraries using pip:

pip install psutil

• Windows OS with administrative privileges.
• tapctl.exe for managing TAP interfaces (usually part of OpenVPN installation).
• ForceBindIP (Leave link, cause you can download just source and do not install it)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Azaki21421/Interface-control.git
cd Interface-control

2. Install dependencies:

pip install psutil

• openvpn (tap driver)
• ForceBindIP

3. Run the application:

python network_manager.py

Note: The script requires administrator privileges to manage network interfaces. It will prompt you to run as an administrator if not already elevated.

Usage

• Add Interface: Click "Add Interface" to create a new TAP interface.
• Remove Interface: Click "Remove Interface" to delete an existing interface.
• Assign Routes:
• Click "Assign Routes" to open the process selection window.
• Select a process by PID or name.
• Choose a network interface to bind the application’s traffic.

To-Do List

1. Replace OpenVPN Dependency: - The current implementation uses tapctl.exe from OpenVPN to manage TAP interfaces. Find a suitable alternative that does not rely on OpenVPN.
2. Find Alternative to ForceBindIP:

• The application currently uses ForceBindIP to bind applications to specific network interfaces. Consider alternatives or custom implementations for binding traffic to interfaces.

3. Enhance Error Handling:

• Improve error handling when managing interfaces and routing traffic.

4. Cross-Platform Support:

• Extend functionality to support other operating systems like Linux and macOS.

5. Configuration for created interface:

• Add posibility to modify created network interface in app

Dependencies

• psutil: For retrieving system and network interface information.
• tapctl.exe: Command-line utility for managing TAP interfaces.
• ForceBindIP: Tool to bind applications to specific network interfaces (needs replacement).
