Which is actually a really interesting idea. Network interface level VPNs are great in certain situations.
For instance, when using untrusted WiFi networks I'll connect to my VPS VPN hosted in the US or my UK RasPI VPN.
But when I want to circumvent a geo-block to watch some sports on Al Jazeera Sport (now BeIn Sport), I don't want all of my traffic going through the public VPN provider in Saudia Arabia. I don't really trust public VPN providers.
Normally I'd run a dedicated local VM which I'd connect to a public VM just to watch geo-blocked streaming media.
Proxies, though. Per-application proxies. Or even better - per tab/window/browser profile proxies. This would solve my problem more elegantly.
