Setting Up and Managing the Kill Switch

A kill switch can block traffic when the VPN disconnects, if your client and platform support it.

What to do

1. Check the client’s official instructions for a kill switch or system-level blocking option.
2. Enable the supported setting and understand whether it applies only to one profile or to all connections.
3. Test with non-sensitive browsing by briefly interrupting the VPN and observing whether traffic stops.
4. Restore the connection and recheck after a client update or network change.

Keep in mind

Behaviour varies by device. Do not assume protection is active just because the client is installed. If unsure, pause sensitive activity and ask support.
