I’m just trying the Secureline-VPN-service and it works quite okay. But sometimes I get disconnected and reconnected to the VPN. Especially when my internet connection is fully occupied or heavily in use. This apparently happens to many other users as well. For me this is a security risk, because it could allow IP leaks.
I’d like to have an option where I can block all internet traffic apart from the VPN connection and enable the VPN automatically when the OS has started up. Is there a way to make this work?

Hi Tetra,
Thanks very much for your feedback. At the moment, we don't have an internet kill-switch or auto-on function. But, we are working on both and plan to release later in the summer.
Just for info, the reason we didn't go with the auto-on feature before is that, as you probably know, VPNs do have affect the connection speed. So we chose not to implement a function to automatically turn on SecureLine in order to keep the decision up to users. However, now we've gotten feedback from other users besides yourself so we've decided to go ahead with that.
Best regards,
Davidek

I am very disappointed with this auto-kill-switch still missing. It destroys the whole idea of secure VPN. I would have chosen some other VPN if I´d known this.
Your VPN is working otherwise fine but because of that, I can´t recommend it to my friends.
