Proton Technologies VPN Kill Switch for Linux
The proton-vpn-killswitch module is an essential component that defines the
"kill switch" interface for the ProtonVPN VPN. The main function of a "kill
switch" in a VPN is to ensure that in the event of an unexpected disconnection
from the VPN, all network traffic is immediately stopped. This prevents
sensitive data from being transmitted without the protection of the VPN, thus
ensuring user privacy and security.
.
Although the proton-vpn-killswitch module defines the interface, it does
not implement specific functionality by itself. Instead, it allows other
implementations, such as proton-vpn-killswitch-network-manager, to realize
the defined functionality. This promotes a modular and extensible architecture,
where different components can be developed and updated independently.
.
Its purpose is:
- Provide Network Security: Ensures that, in the event of any failure in
the VPN connection, network traffic is interrupted to prevent sensitive
information from being exposed to the public network or unsecured
networks.
- Modularity and Extensibility: Facilitate the addition and integration
of different kill switch methods, such as those specific to different
network managers (e.g. Network Manager), operating systems or network
environments. This allows ProtonVPN to support a variety of user
configurations and needs.
- Consistency in Implementation: Ensure that all kill switch implementations
in ProtonVPN follow a consistent standard, providing a uniform and
reliable user experience regardless of the platform or environment
in which ProtonVPN is being used.
