How the Windscribe Firewall (Killswitch) works and how to use it. If you’re not using it…well, you bloody should do.

I wonder why many vpns don’t use a firewall.

fantastic, now i’d really like a tutorial to use the windscribe cli on a remote server and still be able to connect through ssh to it.

Do I understand correctly the firewall is only implemented through the app? It cannot be configured through a Wireguard config running on a router?

Some do, some don’t. “Firewall” I find is a tad misleading. Essentially, the Windscribe “firewall” is just a better kill switch.

Correct. The firewall is essentially a better kill switch. Something prevalent amongst VPN applications.

will this be possible ever via the config files on a router?

That is entirely dependent on the router itself if it cuts the traffic when the VPN connection disconnects.

The firewall the application uses is set for the device, not the servers.
