Your VPN protects you while itās onābut what happens if it suddenly disconnects? Thatās where the Kill Switch comes in. Itās your backup defense for maximum online privacy.
š”ļø What Is a Kill Switch?
A Kill Switch is a security feature that automatically cuts off your internet connection if your VPN connection drops unexpectedly.
This ensures that none of your data leaks outside the encrypted VPN tunnelāeven for a second.
Think of it like an emergency brake for your privacy.
š Why Does It Matter?
Without a Kill Switch, a brief VPN drop could expose:
- Your real IP address
- Your browsing activity
- Sensitive info (like logins or downloads)
With a Kill Switch enabled, your device stays offline until the VPN reconnectsākeeping your identity hidden and your data safe.
