Keep your network secure with an Internet Kill Switch.
Get PrivadoVPNYour VPN only works when you're connected to the virtual private network. However, what happens if you're downloading a file at home and you somehow get disconnected? Or you temporarily disconnect on your phone while you're out? That's what PrivadoVPN's Kill Switch is for.
A Kill Switch is designed to constantly monitor your connection to the VPN. If you somehow get disconnected, it could reveal your actual IP address, allow snooping third parties the ability to read transmitted data, or let your ISP create a log of your activity. To prevent this, the PrivadoVPN app can temporarily block transmission of data to and from your device until an encrypted tunnel is re-established or you disable the Kill Switch.
We work very hard to provide the most stable VPN on the market, but no system is perfect. Using the Kill Switch will have no effect on your connection, but it could protect your personal information in case of a failure. Here are some reasons why that might happen.
You can't predict the future, but you can prepare for it. Kill Switches are just one more way that PrivadoVPN protects your privacy.

Get PrivadoVPNThere are all sorts of reasons that you might lose your VPN connection suddenly.
For example, sometimes you can lose a VPN connection by going from one WiFi network to another. This is especially prevalent when you're connected to public networks.
If your device reboots without you noticing, you might not automatically connect to your VPN.
You might even find that unstable Internet can cause temporary disruptions to your VPN.
By using the Kill Switch feature, you can be sure that if your VPN connection drops, you won't be sending unsecured information for even a fraction of a second.
The amount of data that you transfer, even when your phone is being passive, is enormous.
First of all, without a VPN, your IP address is fully displayed. An IP contains a lot of identifying information about you, threatening your online anonymity.
You might lose VPN access just before logging into a banking app or paying for something with your credit card. Without a Kill Switch active, you may even be infected with malware while your data is vulnerable.
A Kill Switch on your VPN is a simple, but vital component to your digital security.
A VPN is a necessary security tool for all your online activity. Every device that uses the Internet is vulnerable to spies and cybercriminals. Just having your IP address visible can lead to compromised passwords and, in the worst case scenario, identity theft. A VPN helps you avoid all of that.
First of all, by connecting to a VPN server, you are immediately changing your IP address. This helps you maintain your anonymity when you browse the Web, play online games, stream media, or download files. Masking your IP is a simple, but necessary way to increase your online security.
Moreover, with a VPN, you're getting the benefit of encryption. Encrypting your traffic means that it is systematically scrambled before it's sent out, and doesn't get unscrambled until it reaches the destination computer. Our VPN service uses 256-bit-AES encryption, the gold standard for encryption around the world.
