# `--interface`
Perform the operation using a specified interface. You can enter interface
name, IP address or hostname. If you prefer to be specific, you can use the
following special syntax:
## if!<name>
Interface name. If the provided name does not match an existing interface,
curl returns with error 45.
## host!<name>
IP address or hostname.
## ifhost!<interface>!<host>
Interface name and IP address or hostname. This syntax requires libcurl 8.9.0
or later.
If the provided name does not match an existing interface, curl returns with
error 45.
##
curl does not support using network interface names for this option on
Windows.
That name resolve operation if a hostname is provided does **not** use
DNS-over-HTTPS even if --doh-url is set.
On Linux this option can be used to specify a **VRF** (Virtual Routing and
Forwarding) device, but the binary then needs to either have the
**CAP_NET_RAW** capability set or to be run as root.
