[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1109029, member: 52014"] Your understanding seems correct. If the DNS server is indeed tied to the VPN, then setting it as your primary DNS server should effectively stop communication if the VPN goes down. This would act as a software killswitch. However, keep in mind that this method isn't foolproof and may not work in all scenarios. Another alternative is to use a firewall rule to block all non-VPN traffic. This can be a bit complex to set up, but it's a more reliable method. You can use Windows Firewall or a third-party firewall to create rules that only allow traffic through the VPN's network interface. Lastly, you could consider using a different VPN service that includes a built-in killswitch and doesn't have the issues you've encountered with Mullvad and hide.me. Many VPNs offer this feature, so it's worth exploring. [/QUOTE]
