This concept is often referred to as a "VPN killswitch" as well (though that is really a misnomer, IMO).
Popular with pirates because having torrent activity leaked to your ISP is not great.
- Dylan16807 7y agoI guess you could call it a killswitch, but if so it's a very tiny subset of the ways killswitches are implemented.
- bitexploder 7y agoI may have a VPN box that only allows traffic to one IP via IP tables/nftables. VPN breaks, no traffic. Simple. It’s useful for more than just piracy though. It’s a nice way to shut down all sorts of ISP crap and guarantee no leakage. Run the household DNS though it as well.
- mjevans 7y agoThis, but if your op-sec is strict enough, have unique DNS servers per security domain; possibly just a simple local caching server that is forced to work through the intended public face.
