Open Vpn. Surfshark configuration

[miiz]

Hello Sasha.

Since OpenVPN app does not have a killswitch option, is there any reliable external application which <<does the job>>?

Thanks in advance.

HI. All paid providers have a killswitch.



If you want to use it for free, try Windscribe, they have not only a kill switch, but also a firewall that blocks ALL communication outside the tunnel. You can also use TunnelBear. TunnelBear calls the kill switch "Vigilant". It blocks all unsecured traffic immediately when the connection is broken and unblocks it only when it is restored.

Sorry Sasha but free VPNs does not meet my needs  since they all have  bandwidth limits (i download torrents).

i now use (via OpenVPN app) the Surfshark config files you provided here.

The problem is the killswitch lack.

Thanks anyway.

The Surfshark data that I publish here is paid, these are not free servers. So enjoy it for now.

Sure and I appreciate this.

Greetings!

If I understand what you are trying to say, Android has a way to configure killswitch (since Android 7 if I am not mistaken):

Setup kill switch for OpenVPN on Android

Make sure the VPN profile you wish to connect to is set as Default VPN from Settings tab in homescreen of App.

2. Click on gears like icon to the right of OpenVPN for Android label to enter app specific settings for VPN.
   
3. Enable/toggle Always-on VPN option to ON.
   
4. Once you have a VPN connection. Enable/toggle Block connections without VPN to ON.
   
5. Android OS will prompt you a question, tap TURN ON to finally enable your kill switch.
