Show HN: Rouler – Steer Windows traffic per app or IP across multiple interfaceshttps://rouler.io
Hi HN, Rouler is "rules for your routes". It allows you to steer network traffic across multiple network interfaces on Windows.

Today we're releasing it broadly as a research experiment. It also bundles in a bunch of nice features to make the structured outputs more useful. You get citations with optional hosted citation urls with highlights, calibrated confidence values, and the option for zero data retention. Time to build with structured outputs at scale!
