UPDATED AirVPN Network Lock and Torrent Client Leak Test
The AirVPN "Network Lock" is based on strict firewalls rules contrary to several so called "kill switches" and VPN check monitoring processes (which don't do anything while connection is on and become totally useless if they crash). With "Network Lock" strict firewall-based rules, the protection against leaks is active even when the connection is detected as "on" (regardless it is really "on" or not), even if Eddie could not work anymore and even if you mis-configured by accident a listening service binding it to a physical network card. If Eddie/OpenVPN/WireGuard stops unexpectedly leak prevention is assured because of the strict firewall rules of the Network Lock.
