How to protect if VPN goes down

Recommended Posts

I know that this has been discussed within the forums but since the whole VPN thing is new to me I am not sure that I have found or not found my answer. Everything is a bit confusing to me.

I am using AirVPN with Vuse v4.8.12. So far this has not happened but I am concerned about how to protect myself if my VPN should drop while downloading. I know that when I was installing and setting up AirVPN and Tunnelblick that there was something that popped up about settings in the event that should happen. Since I was not sure what to do I just said No assuming that I could go back to it at a later time.

Well, now I cannot find that option.

I am hoping that someone can help me set this up by pointing me in the right direct and giving me clear and easy to follow instructions on how to set it up? As I said, this is all very new to me and it is a bit overwhelming.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the response.

Because I consider myself lucky for being able to successfully get my VPN by fumbling along following the setup directions and again because I am not sure I understand all this, I want to ask further info about the link you provided below.

I am assuming that you are pointing me to the post by Jessez.

I am assuming that I am copying and pasting information into Terminal. Since I do not want to mess this up I want to confirm that I am copy and paste as follows:

(also, not sure how this information comes into play -sudo pfctl -vvv -f /etc/pf.conf

for some reason you still have to do: sudo pfctl -e

to start the firewall.)

Copy and paste

# pf.conf

# Drop everything that doesn't match a rule

block drop out inet from 192.168.0.0/16 to any

# Swiss DNS
