Connect: What is the Global Kill Switch?

TeamFlashRouters · May 16, 2019 ·

Important Update: DD-WRT Privacy App Discontinued

The FlashRouter Privacy App has been discontinued and is no longer compatible with new versions of DD-WRT firmware. If you are using DD-WRT, you can still set up OpenVPN or WireGuard manually with the latest DD-WRT builds. Our team is available to assist anyone with an active service plan during this transition.

For the easiest and most secure VPN setup experience, we highly recommend our Privacy Hero 2 solution. It’s designed to make home network security simple and comes with exclusive features, including pre-configured VPN and streaming capabilities.

If you need assistance or want to explore Privacy Hero 2, don’t hesitate to reach out!

The FlashRouters Privacy App features a Global Kill Switch checkbox. When checked, your FlashRouter’s Internet connection will be disconnect if the VPN connection is dropped. This will ensure that no Internet data passes through the FlashRouter that is not encrypted by VPN.

If this setting is unchecked your Internet connection will resume in the event of a VPN connection drop.

Keep in mind that this setting should be unchecked if you are using the by device Kill Switch setting on the Options tab of the FlashRouters Privacy App.
