Hey, bud. If you don't understand what an interface is, you might be in a bit over your head here. Also, if you're not running VPN on your entire network at the gateway, running it on different machines like you're describing isn't stopping "Microsoft tracking", whatever that is.
Just for shitsngiggles, the interface is the network device that is communicating with the Internet in your case. It's either the wired Ethernet port, the WiFi card, or the VPN tunnel.
Not quite sure what you are implying but when i do understand OP correctly he only wants to hinder microsoft in tracking his bittorrent usage which this method is sufficient for.
Why would Microsoft be watching this person use their Linux machine for torrenting exactly? This entire thing reads like a paranoid fantasy.
If either of you is imaging that Microsoft is watching your public network traffic to catch you downloading your hentai, seek therapy and guidance.
I have not said that.
You were the guy who said that running a vpn on a linux machine is not enough to stop Microsoft from tracking you.
I am saying that a separate machine running Linux does the job preventing Microsoft to track/monitor your torrenting.
maybe he works for microsoft ;-)
