Full Kill Switch protection requires two Android system settings: Stay Connected to VPN (Always-on VPN) and Block All Connections Not Using VPN. KlarVPN links you to these settings from the Kill Switch screen.

1. On the Kill Switch screen, tap Open Android VPN Settings.

Auto-connect vs. Kill Switch

  • Auto-connect tells the app to try reconnecting after boot or network changes.

  • Kill Switch is OS-enforced and blocks internet traffic whenever KlarVPN is not connected.

  • For full Kill Switch protection on Android, both Stay Connected to VPN and Block All Connections Not Using VPN must be turned on.
