[QUOTE="n8chavez, post: 999021, member: 90863"] IVPN now supports local socks5 proxy, just like Mullvad! Meaning that you can now enter a local sock5 proxy address, in this case 10.1.0.1, to a local app in your applications and that will only allow communication when IVPN is up and running. Think is it like an added safety net just in case IVPN goes down. If you were to set your apps (like qbittorrent, sabnzbd, firefox, Chrome, etc., you are guaranteeing they can only function if IVPN is up and running . Mullvad and hide.me are the only other VPNs that offer this. Yes, most reputable VPNs have killswitches. But those rely on a firewall or WFP, which can have conflicts. This way, the communication coming from the apps themselves is cut off. Like I said, a safety net just in case. IVPN was already among the top VPNs. This new features makes it even better and is at the top of my list now. [/QUOTE]
