If you lack Internet connectivity either while using the OVPN desktop client, or afterwards, it is possible that the killswitch have locked itself. There are three ways to reset the killswitch: Restart the client, restart the computer, or through the terminal window/command prompt. If you want to reset it through the terminal or command prompt, follow these steps:
Windows:
- Open command line
- Navigate to the OVPN killswitch installation folder. Usually this can be done by typing cd C:\Program Files (x86)\OVPN\vpn-controller\killswitch
- Type: killswitch all disable killswitch 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 -1
The killswitch is now reset and you should have Internet connectivity.
Mac:
- Open Terminal window
- Type: sudo pfctl -d
- When prompted, enter your password for your computer login
The killswitch is now reset and you should have Internet connectivity.
Ubuntu:
- Open Terminal
