Permanent Kill Switch for Eddie Client

[Daniel2025 0]

Hello,

I am using Windows 10 Pro, and the Eddie client works well on my system. However, I’ve noticed that the kill switch (network lock) is only active when Eddie is running. I have already configured Eddie to start automatically with Windows, but there is still a brief moment during startup when my computer is online with its real IP address. This is a problem for me.

I want to ensure that my computer never goes online with its real IP. Additionally, when I restart or reboot my computer, I have to manually close Eddie, and during this process, my real IP is exposed again.

Is there a way to fix this issue? For example, Mullvad has a lockdown mode that prevents the computer from accessing the internet without an active VPN connection. However, I would prefer to stay with AirVPN because of its many other advantages.

It is very important to me that my computer never connects to the internet without the VPN. Is there a way to achieve this with Eddie? Or would it be possible for you to add a feature to Eddie that ensures a permanent network lock, even before the client starts?

Best regards,

I'm using the free WFC with Secure Boot enabled to achieve what you asked.
Secure Boot: Automatically set High Filtering profile at system shut down. At Windows start-up, all network connections will be blocked until the user manually changes the profile.
At system start-up all traffic is blocked, AirVPN also starts automatically, it enables Network Lock per configuration but can't connect until i manually change WFC profile to, in my case, Medium Filtering.
