From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This seems like something that would be simple, but I spent a long time trying to figure it out. I figured I'd write a blog post about it in case anyone else has a similar desire.

On BSD you use FIBs to declare process specific routing tables, on Linux you use firewall marks to do the same, then just route all trafik through the vpn uplink and deny any other.

What are the pros and cons of that approach vs the one laid out in the blog post?
