Force browser (Chrome OR FireFox) to use specific network interface












1















I need to be able to view pages of my website from outside our network. I need to be able to use separate nameservers as well.
Ive found the easiest way is to just launch an SSH tunnel, then I can use the OSX networksetup command to duplicate an existing interface and implement the proxy settings and different nameservers..



sudo networksetup -duplicatenetworkservice "Wi-Fi" "Wi-Fi-External" # Create a new WiFi interface

sudo networksetup -setsocksfirewallproxy Wi-Fi-Public localhost 8123

sudo networksetup -setsocksfirewallproxystate Wi-Fi-Public on

sudo networksetup -setdnsservers Wi-Fi-Public 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4


And this works fine for now, but when im done testing and need to go back to using my internal network, I have to disable Wi-Fi-External or change the network service order.



Is there a way to launch any browser (either Chrome or FF, or whatever will work), to use a specific network interface? And everything else default to the normal one?



I found this thread which has a similar problem, but theres no accepted answer. The most popular one says to set a default route, but that wouldn't be specific to a specified application/browser.



Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

          This is what ForceBindIP does. However, some have problems getting it to work (I believe the browsers do multi-process and ForceBindIP doesn't at the moment, or soemthing?) So, test to be sure it's working right.

                    Probability when a professor distributes a quiz and homework assignment to a class of n students.

                    Image
                    0 0 $begingroup$ Need help with this problem. Suppose our lazy professor collects a quiz and a homework assignment from a class of n students one day, then distributes both the quizzes and the homework assignments back to the class in a random fashion for grading. Each student receives one quiz and one homework assignment to grade. (a) What is the probability that every student receives someone else's quiz to grade, and someone else's homework to grade? (b) What is the probability that no student receives both their own quiz and their own homework assignment to grade? In this case, some students may receive their own quiz, and others may receive their own homework assignment. (c) Compute the limiting probability as n approaches infinity in each case. ...
