What is a kill switch?
A VPN kill switch is a safety net. If your encrypted connection drops, a common thing on public Wi-Fi or when switching networks, your device would normally fall back to the open internet, briefly exposing your real IP address and activity.
The kill switch stops that. It watches your VPN connection and, the moment it drops, blocks all traffic until the secure tunnel is back. You stay private through the gap, not just around it.
HOW IT WORKS
Always on, always watching
Three things happen automatically, you never have to think about it.
Cuts traffic instantly
If the tunnel drops, all internet traffic is blocked in milliseconds, before anything can leak.
Restores automatically
Once the secure connection is back, your traffic resumes on its own. No manual reconnect.
WHY IT MATTERS
Protection that doesn't blink
No accidental IP exposure
Your real IP and DNS requests can't leak during a drop, so you're never briefly visible.
Safe on flaky public Wi-Fi
Café, airport and hotel networks drop constantly. The kill switch keeps those gaps covered.
Cover for sensitive work
Uploads, logins and client work stay protected even mid-transfer if the connection stutters.
Zero configuration
It's on by default and works quietly in the background. Nothing to enable, nothing to manage.
Standard security, and a VPN that pays you back
The kill switch isn't an add-on or a premium upgrade. Like all KeenVPN protection, it's standard on every plan, which also earns perks and is backed by the 100-day guarantee.
