Question About VPN Kill Switch

David92506

I download torrents with the Bitdefender VPN and kill switch enabled. Sometimes, the VPN disconnects, but I'm still able to connect to the internet.

Shouldn't the kill switch disconnect me from the internet if the VPN becomes unenabled?

@David92506 ,

Welcome to the Bitdefender Forums. Indeed, the Bitdefender Kill switch should drop the Internet connection unless you have enabled Split Tunneling in the BD VPN app.

The attached articles above explain how it all works.

If Split Tunneling does not apply to you, then I would contact Bitdefender Customer Support.

Chat is the fastest way to reach them. Telephone support is not toll-free, but there is also an email option.

Please keep us posted. I hope this helps. Have a great day.
