It is bit difficult in windows as you have many gateways to the Internet Connection.

Can I ask why forcebindip is not working for you?  
and have you tried forcebindip as batch file?

A batch file is a script file in DOS, OS/2 and Microsoft Windows. It consists of a series of commands to be executed by the command-line interpreter, stored in a plain text file.

if you could explain the configuration you have done and the error you are getting, then somebody might help. There are many things that can go wrong here.

now I want you to get firefox browser, it will be easy to troubleshoot  
in firefox browser type

> about:config

then search for

> browser.launcherProcess.enabled

and set it to **false** and exit the browser

now run the forcebindip command along with firefox like you do, and show if any error

you can do without forcebindip but it is more difficult, you will have to manually set routing rules for your OS with **[this](https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/network_route_view.html)** tool, but I would rather stick to ForceBindIP

maybe remove the older zip files & try Installing ForceBindIP instead of using the zip file

in my knowledge, there are other GUI tools but all of them are based on CLI v
