Are killswitches actually fast enough? Serious question, I don’t know much/anything about networking internals.
I never trust killswitches and when I want to ensure I don’t leak anything, I bind to the VPN interface instead, but I don’t know if that actually gives better security?
- numpad0 5y agoSpeed should not be a problem and hardware solution should not have to be a better solution, ideally. Shame that has to be brought up still.
- shbooms 5y agoI've never used surfshark myself but they advertise as having a killswitch inlcluded in their VPN [0] so it sounds like in this case, it definitely failed. [0] https://surfshark.com/vpn#vpn-page-essentials https://surfshark.com/vpn#vpn-page-essentials
- deadbunny 5y agoJust setup your routes/firewall so that the only possible way traffic can leave your machine is via the VPN device. VPN dies? no traffic going anywhere. Pretty much networking 101 stuff.
- Semaphor 5y agoThat should be the same when bound to an interface, shouldn’t it?
