I fixed it and replied but I think it takes a while for replies to threads to be reviewed and updated. I've tried this on several Linux distros so far and all work flawlessly. Once you set everything up, the firewall stops all traffic when the vpn is dropped. You have to stop the firewall though in order to reconnect to the vpn or use the internet on your network. Like I said, the firewall stops ALL traffic, but this is actually a good thing. I keep the firestarter firewall window open so I know I am using vpn only and monitor my connections like I do with Comodo on a Windows machine. Once I am finished with the vpn, I shut off the firewall as well so I can use the internet if I have to, but in my case I am always on the vpn so no need. Try it out, it fulfills all of my objectives and yours I believe as well. and again sorry the pictures did not show up I am trying out the new BETA for photobucket.

Here are the pics to the rest of the guide.

WARNING: this guide assumes that you have no IPv6 connectivity. If you have, you should block outgoing IPv6 packets while connected to the VPN with "ip6tables". Please see https://airvpn.org/faq/software_lock Here is a guide to prevent leaks and completely stop traffic when the VPN drops in Linux. If the openvpn connection drops you will not be able to access the internet while the firewall is activated. Just click the "stop firewall" button and reconnect with Openvpn, then re-enable to firewall. If you wish to connect to the internet without openvpn just press the "stop firewall" button within firestarter. This way you are protected in the VPN drops. Tested on Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, and OpenSUSE. This is assuming you have already setup OpenVPN on Linux after following the guide here-----> https://airvpn.org/linux/ 1). Install Firestarter firewall for Linux by opening the terminal and typiing ----> sudo apt-get install firestarter 2). Allow traffic on the OpenVPN interface by updating /etc/firestarter/user-pre. There are multiple ways to do this depending on your Linux Distro. Here are 2 examples. A). Open the terminal with root privileges and type-----> gksu gedit /etc/firestarter/user-pre Add the following text to /etc/firestarter/user-pre and save----------> $IPT -A INPUT -i tun+ -j ACCEPT $IPT -A OUTPUT -o tun+ -j ACCEPT . The second way is simply to go to the folder /etc/firestarter/ and click on the file USER-PRE and open in terminal with root privileges. Then add the code and save-----> $IPT -A INPUT -i tun+ -j ACCEPT $IPT -A OUTPUT -o tun+ -j ACCEPT 3). Restart Firestarter by opening the terminal and typing ------------> sudo /etc/init.d/firestarter restart 4). Follow the images below to finish. You may have to restart the machine afterwards. <a href="/external_link/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbeta.photobucket.com%2F" target="_blank"><img src="/external_image/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fi1285.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fa582%2Fcorsair28%2F01firewallwizard.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"/></a> <a href="/external_link/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbeta.photobucket.com%2F" target="_blank"><img src="/external_image/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fi1285.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fa582%2Fcorsair28%2F02firewallwizard.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"/></a> <a href="/external_link/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbeta.photobucket.com%2F" target="_blank"><img src="/external_image/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fi1285.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fa582%2Fcorsair28%2F03wizard.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"/></a> <a href="/external_link/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbeta.photobucket.com%2F" target="_blank"><img src="/external_image/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fi1285.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fa582%2Fcorsair28%2F04selectthepolicytab.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"/></a> <a href="/external_link/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbeta.photobucket.com%2F" target="_blank"><img src="/external_image/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fi1285.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fa582%2Fcorsair28%2F05nothingdotooninboundp.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"/></a> <a href="/external_link/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbeta.photobucket.com%2F" target="_blank"><img src="/external_image/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fi1285.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fa582%2Fcorsair28%2F06selectoutboundtraffic.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"/></a> <a href="/external_link/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbeta.photobucket.com%2F" target="_blank"><img src="/external_image/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fi1285.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fa582%2Fcorsair28%2F07policyoutboundsetrest.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"/></a>

UPDATE: I have an update after doing more research into this. Our objective is to have the internet traffic stopped once we lose VPN connection so I did some research into this. This website has a firewall that can help to accomplish this goal on Linux---------> http://www.shorewall.net It was great reading into it, but I needed an example of how to set everything up which eventually led me here ------------> http://support.xerobank.com/wiki/doku.php?id=howto_lockdown_debian_ubuntu_openvpn I will try it out when I get home but I thought everyone interested might want to have a look at this.

Here are a few links to help on the iptables in Ubuntu. It is the same for Linux Mint distros as well. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo You can also use GUFW which is a graphical firewall for Linux and set up a similar firewall in Ubuntu comparable to Comodo firewall. Here are 2 links that will help with the setup: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gufw http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Using_gufw_and_ufw_to_Configure_an_Ubuntu_11.04_Firewall

Dont forget about your comodo firewall for windows 8 as well here are the links. Check the comodo summary after you install and configure as Windows 8 is even worse for leaks. Standalone-------------> http://download.comodo.com/cis/download/installs/1000/standalone/cispremium_installer_win8.exe With Antivirus----------> http://download.comodo.com/cis/download/installs/win8_6453/CIS_Setup_x64.msi

Did you install Comodo firewall for Windows 8 and set it up like the guide here?

You might want to consider using a Linux distro with Ktorrent. Ktorrent allows you to choose which connection to download on and when the connection drops, torrenting stops.

Thank you for the info switching it now:)

The airVPN app will not recognize the new version, but all you have to do is go to preferences in the AirVPN app and under where settings are saved just point it to the new file location:)
