Proton VPN for Linux has both a kill switch and a permanent kill switch.
When you turn the kill switch on, Proton VPN disables the internet if your VPN connection is interrupted to hide your real IP address.
When you turn the permanent kill switch on, your internet connection is blocked all the time unless you’re connected to a VPN server. That means your internet connection will also be blocked when Windows is starting up and shutting down and whenever you manually disconnect the VPN.
Yes. Just run protonvpn-cli in Terminal for the list of commands that our Linux CLI tool accepts.
