I use a paid VPN service (TorGuard) and when I run it on my computer, I am able to configure the client to completely block Internet access if the VPN is disconnected...  The Android version of my VPN client does not have this option, so my question is, is there another way I can completely block Internet traffic if my VPN is disconnected?  Alternatively, is there a way I can get some sort of warning when the VPN is disconnected?  I'm using a Kogan Agora 6+, running Android 6.0 ("Marshmallow").

I would like to direct all the traffic through my VPN connection on my Android based phone (HTC Desire). The VPN works great, but problem is that when the VPN disconnects, the traffic is redirected through my regular internet, something I don't want to happen. How can I block the traffic outside the VPN?

What does my internet service provider know about my online activites in these cases?   plain server (www, ftp, whatever) connection and provider's DNS secured (e.g. TLS) server connection and provider's DNS plain server (www, ftp, whatever) connection and an non-provider non-logging DNS secured (e.g. TLS) server (www, ftp, whatever) connection and non-provider non-logging DNS   In case 4) does my provider know anything more about my online behaviour than "IP w.x.y.z was assigned to Foo Bar between connect-time and disconnect-time" (i.e. only the duration my router was connected)?  What traffic does need to go through the provider's infrastructure to make my connection work at all?

Hi I am looking for a VPN Monitor/Kill Switch application that will ensure my VPN connection is always connected. Should my secured connection drop, the application will drop the applications that it's monitoring to prevent data leak. I know there are such applications for Windows. However, I have yet to find a suitable alternative for Linux.

I am getting complaints that I consume lots of internet bandwidth.  Is there any software that can limit internet bandwidth on my computer from my own computer? I use Firefox as browser and use bittorrent and download software from software center.  (Is there also a way to monitor it?)

When connected to the Internet, the system checks if it's in a walled garden, which is simply trying to connect to Google. If it fails, in Android 5, there'll be an exclamation mark on the WiFi icon or signal icon.   In some situations, this is annoying. Say, in China, Google is blocked, the exclamation mark will always be there, which is meaningless.  How can I disable this check, and make the system assume, connected WiFi/mobile data is connected Internet?

As one of the business feature the upcoming iOS 7, Apple has announced the ability to configure VPN on application basis. However, details about this feature are hard to find on the web. I am wondering, if this configuration will be something that can be done on the Device itself, or if it has to be something that has to be set up by an IT administrator in the network?

I'm trying to add a  to my network, but the option is greyed out.  Screenshot of the greyed-out indicator   I installed network-manager-openvpn but still no luck. Editing my connection does not show any VPN settings or tabs.  I'd appreciate it if anyone could point me in the right direction!  EDIT: In case anyone else has this issue, the wording "Add A VPN Connection" is super misleading as it's telling you that you need to add a VPN connection, not that you are supposed to click to add one from there.  So select Edit Connections, Add, and then select your VPN from there.

Most of my visits are from baidu spiders. I don't think it helps search engines at all so I'm thinking of how to block them. Could this be done via iptables? I'm using nginx as my webserver.

Goal: I want to be able to securely use the internet via my home PC while my notebook is connected to an open hotspot/access point.  I do know that I can use a SSH tunnel/SOCKS proxy, but I don't want to fiddle around with applications (making them use it, if even possible). I guess what I need is an OpenVPN setup, so I'm looking for a detailed guide on how to:   Install and setup the OpenVPN server Setup the OpenVPN client (NetworkManager)   Ubuntu versions this should work on are 10.10 and 11.04.

I'm trying to determine where connectivity to an external host using a specific TCP port is being blocked. Traceroute for Windows only uses ICMP, and telnet will only tell me that the port is blocked and not where. Does anyone know of a Windows utility similar to traceroute that will achieve this?

I VPN to my work, and then I terminal server into my computer.  Everything works fine in relation to the VPN access, but locally I can't access the internet.  How can I fix this?

I am extremely concerned that my ISP collects any information once I am connected to a VPN server. For instance, as far as I know, when I start a connection to a HotSpotShield VPN server, an IP address is assigned to me just before a successful connection. Besides, I'll be having an extra IP address at the beginning with the TAP Adapter. An encryption tunnel is set up between me and the VPN server. Whenever my request for a website reaches them (VPN server), they decrypt the data and later they encrypt the reply which returns from the  web (targeted) server. This works like that. So, the ISP can not see what I am watching, displaying and writing because the connection is encrypted. But, the targeted websites see and record all actions. Still, they can not identify my real IP address.   I'm really concerned about if the ISP can see "my location". OK, it has an IP address from another country as my real IP address, but how does my ISP detect the traffic going through them? Can they find out who I am?  Won't they say "Hey, there is a traffic but who is and what he is doing right now?", because I get the Internet from them?
