dietpi-nordvpn killswitch?

[vbarter]

Hey how do I setup the script command if the vpn connection is ended? I see the Down script and when I enter:

sudo service transmission-daemon stop
reboot

Is this enough for a killswitch?

Why do you reboot? Isn't the tunnel supposed to keep trying to reconnect?

I’m torrenting so I need a kill switch

I understood that, but you are already stopping the transmission. If you reboot it will start again.

You'll probably have to look up how to write that into ip tables. Tons of info on it out there.

I currently use this as a "kill switch".
ufw to only allow web traffic out Tun0. So if the VPN (Tun0) goes down, internet traffic will stop.
I added a follow up rule to always allow local network traffic so that we can access the pi at any time.
dietpi-nordvpn is ofcourse set to autostart.

example

Code: Select all

sudo ufw status verbose
Status: active
Logging: on (low)
Default: allow (incoming), deny (outgoing), disabled (routed)
New profiles: skip

To                         		Action      		From

Anywhere                   	ALLOW OUT   	Anywhere on tun0
1194/udp                   	ALLOW OUT   	Anywhere
53                         		ALLOW OUT   	Anywhere
192.168.178.0/24           	ALLOW OUT   	Anywhere
224.0.0.0/24               	ALLOW OUT   	Anywhere
239.0.0.0/8                	ALLOW OUT   	Anywhere
Anywhere (v6)              	ALLOW OUT   	Anywhere (v6) on tun0
1194/udp (v6)              	ALLOW OUT   	Anywhere (v6)
53 (v6)                    		ALLOW OUT   	Anywhere (v6)

some permissions allow traffic to build the tunnel (port 1194/udp in my case) and port 53 for name resolution.

seems to work OK, but i'm still learning...

First, google how to install and enable UFW.

Then follow;

I am not torrenting anything I need privacy for, or using NordVPN. But I am using UFW to killswitch in case my Mullvad VPN (www.mullvad.net) goes down. It's working flawlessly.
