Does anybody have a recommended methods to having a Qube with a VPN Killswitch? I’m wanting to get some torrents and want to make sure no network info gets through to my ISP. I’ve had my VPN randomly shut off on me in Qubes so I want to get a good kill switch established just in case.
Just set the firewall on your vpn qube to ONLY send traffic to the concentrator… no worries, and no kill switch needed. It literally can only send traffic through the vpn.
I mean it depends on how exactly you established the connection, if you’re using a VPN client or something it might be easier than configuring ip tables.
Use firewall and allow only vpn provider’s ips
I started with just regular OpenVPN config files and Login Credentials that you can add in the network settings in the top right corner. I’ve looked into ip tables a little bit but want to find an alternative before diving down that rabbit hole.
Can’t say I can help, I don’t think I’ve ever even used the OVPN protocol before led alone the client, just wireguard.
How would you go about setting it up through wireguard?
Actually, I just remembered this from Mullvad for openvpn on qubes, in theory it should work with a different config but the same client & if you know the IP addresses of the VPN servers you want. There’s also a qubes CLI tool for limiting outgoing connections that I think also limits DNS requests since the GUI doesn’t do that. It should have more information inside the firewall rules section when you get there. This may also be worth checking out if you’re going that route.
