I'm confused, I thought it already had this? I've been using it for months. What is new here?
Glad to hear that things are still happening to the Linux app anyway. Slowly but surely we'll catch up to feature parity (split tunneling when?).
If I understand correctly, before version 4.2.0 (that includes the Advanced setting), the kill switch wasn't active until you opened the ProtonVPN program. So if you restarted you PC, it was connecting to the internet without going through the VPN tunnel, so your traffic was somewhat exposed.
Now, with the new permanent kill switch, there's no internet access without running ProtonVPN.
That would make sense, cheers
