PIA VPN app in a VM

[JohnWick]

Has anyone or does anyone know if it's feasible / not flawed to:

Run a VM in Windows 7, in that VM run the PIA windows app and whichever torrent software to get the latest Linux ISO's.

The purpose would be dual:

1. I hear there's an option to have a kill-switch with the PIA software so everything stops if the VPN disconnects (which would only affect things running on the VM)

2. I could keep playing vidya using my local connection, while any Linux ISO's go via the slower VPN connection.

Any flaws to doing that, things to be aware of?
I realize the non-VPN connection would be vulnerable to all the usual suspects and future meta data etc.

yep perfectly possible its how i have mine set up. The PIA kill switch is not very reliable in Win7 (i used firewall rules instead) and my Win7 VM became a real resource hog so I switched to a linux mint VM and the PIA app is rock solid and the kill switch works (better than the windows version, even though its still technically a beta i believe)
