[QUOTE="n8chavez, post: 932925, member: 90863"] Right. But you're missing most of the document. It says: "You may already be familiar with the Mullvad app's built-in "kill switch" safety feature. In other words, in the event that the Mullvad connection is terminated, all of your Internet traffic is automatically blocked, ensuring that your traffic is not accidentally leaked outside of our secure tunnel. However, what happens if you've forgotten to start the Mullvad app? This is where using the SOCKS5 proxy comes in handy, to act as back-up protection." And "The SOCKS5 proxy is only accessible when you are connected to Mullvad."n To me this indicates that 10.x.x.x is a local address, which it is. It has nothing to do with multi-hop because the address is internal, not external. But my question remains, do other VPNs offer this safety-net approach in addition to a killswitch? I'm very familiar with Mullvad, they are my current stable vpn. [/QUOTE]
