Btw, when I've been testing a "kill switch" on Windows (firewall configuration that doesn't allow internet access without a VPN running) using the built-in firewall, I discovered that - Chrome adds a Firewall rule on installation that grants it access to all networks, bypassing kill switch configurations. - Microsoft has an "Allow app through Firewall" [1] dialog that manages all of the rules for its apps and services along with some third-party apps. These rules again tend to allow everything, and at least on earlier builds from like 2018 they would reset to allow everything on _every_ update. This was such a pain to deal with.
