Bind application to a specific network interface

$

I have tried ForceBindIP, but it has a significant downside - it doesn't affect the children of the application I'm trying to bind, it only affects the application itself. It also can't force an application to always run through a specified interface, it has to be run through forcebindip.exe every time. It becomes a problem with applications like League of Legends where the process tree looks like that:

The launcher runs the patcher, the patcher run the client, etc. I can only affect the parent of all these processes in the tree, so the actual game is not bound to the interface I want, making this whole venture pointless.

Is there a more modern alternative to ForceBindIP for Windows 7? There are many questions similar to this one on this site, but they are mostly old. Maybe there is now a better way to solve this problem?

My current idea is to do the following:

  1. Set up local 3proxy server bound to the desired interface.

  2. Run the game through Proxifier or similar software configured to run through that local proxy.

I'm not sure if that will work, but even if it will, it seems like a sub-optimal solution. Do you guys have any better ideas?

Edit: My idea didn't work :(

Edit 2: Basically, what I'm trying to achieve is bind a few applications to a regular interface, while VPN is running. The reason is that I need to connect through VPN most of the time, but some applications (such as games) don't work properly this way, because of higher ping and other issues.
