Hello @spetr
You can create a dedicated connection policy where the VPN interface is the primary one and then assign it to the Transmission client using the torrent policy command:


 

Don't forget to save the device configuration (system configuration save) after you configure the Transmission policy.

Thanks, that works. Also noticed that after any change in applications set (adding/removing packages) firmware is being completely replaced what needs to adding that policy binding again... Is there a way how to make that torrent policy selection permanent?

If you save the configuration (system configuration save) after assigning the policy that should not happen. If that indeed happens, then please do the following:

1. configure the policy and assign it to the Transmission
2. download a self-test file
3. add or remove a firmware component (and update the firmware)
4. check if the policy assignment for the Transmission is missing
5. (it if is missing) download another self-test file after the device boots again
6. attach both self-test files to this thread in a hidden message

 

Generally speaking, if you configured the policy and saved the configuration, then if you download the startup-config file, there should be a  torrent policy ... line in it.
