Fire Stick VPN Kill Switch?

by YACSB

Hi, is there anyway to have a VPN kill switch for the fire stick? I'm using IPVanish and its great, but sometimes I noticed that its not connected. I'll go into the app periodically and sometimes no server will be connected. I might be streaming sometimes with it off without even knowing.

I have the setting selected to auto reconnect, but I guess it doesn't work in that instance. I also have the startup IPVanish setting checked and the connect to fastest server option under that. I rebooted the fire stick like the tutorial said, but when it booted back up and I went inside IPVanish I was not connected to a server.

I know there is an app called safetydot which I tried, but I don't like that its constantly blinking green all the time. I wish I could edit that app to only show a the red circle if it disconnects. I only want an overlay when its disconnected. If its connected then it shouldn't show anything in my opinion.

Not sure about ipvanish but I run PIA on my Firestick and there is a kill switch

Surfshark has kill-switch, split tunneling and auto-start on boot. Cheap and fast too.

Nord does this

Per app VPN so just tivimate on the VPN, kill switch active auto starts on boot.

Seamless and without issue. No complaints

Use VPN Safety Dot to ensure whether you’re connected or not? Also download IP Vanish from Google Playstore (NOT Amazon store)!

Dose the firestick have the vpn block connection not going through the vpn option

This might be overly obvious but.. Which version of the app are you using, android or firestick?

Because it’s a dot in at the top right hand corner of your screen that blinks green when you are connected securely and if not, red. Go to Filelinked and use this code (81480504)
