Thank you for your feedback
We have received your request:
Your demand is that clients who use vpn always need to use vpn, and never use wan. When the current VPN tunnel can't be connected, all traffic in the current tunnel will be blocked.
However, we also received demands from other users. Their demand is that the first priority is not to use VPN, but not to disconnect the network. These users need these devices to give priority to using VPN, and they should also connect to the network normally when the VPN is unavailable, that is, they need to access the Internet through wan.
So there is our design effect, by turning off the switch of "Kill Switch", to realize your two needs.
First of all, we can simply understand the "Kill Switch" switch as whether the settings of the current tunnel will be matched by other tunnels when the current tunnel fails. It is a "allow failover" switch, but it is not a failover with the nodes in the tunnel, but a transfer to other tunnels that also match the equipment and are responsible.
"Kill Switch" switch in the tunnel:
Effect of opening: vpn is always used for the equipment and rules matched by the current tunnel, but wan is never used. When the current VPN tunnel cannot be connected, all the traffic of the current tunnel will be blocked, and the equipment and rules matched by the current tunnel will not be executed by other channels that also match the equipment.
Effect of closing: vpn is preferred for the equipment and rules matched by the current tunnel. When the current VPN tunnel cannot be connected, if other VPN tunnels also match the equipment, the equipment will take another VPN tunnel (which can be a wan direct connection or other VPN nodes).
"Non-VPN Tunnel" tunnel:
Our built-in VPN tunnel with the lowest priority, which can match all devices and rules, will be matched by this tunnel when some devices are not matched by VPN tunnel, so as to realize the effect of accessing the Internet directly through WAN.
In other words, all devices and rules that are not matched by VPN tunnel, as well as devices and rules that fail in VPN tunnel and allow failover, will be matched by this tunnel, thus realizing WAN access.
So to sum up, your needs only need:
- VPN tunnel 1: Select all VPN devices and rules, select VPN nodes, turn on the "Kill Switch" switch and save.
- VPN tunnel 1: Select all devices and rules that use WAN, select "NOT USE VPN", turn on the "Kill Switch" switch, and save.
- Turn off our built-in "Non-VPN Tunnel" switch.
Finally, we want to provide convenient services for more user groups, but the needs of each user are not the same, so please understand, thank you again for your support and advice, and hope my answer will help you.
