What is Kill Switch?

Kill Switch is a safety feature that ensures your privacy stays intact, even if your VPN connection is temporarily interrupted. When Kill Switch is enabled, it prevents any data transfer by shutting down your device’s internet connection if the VPN connection is lost. This way, malicious individuals or entities cannot access your personal data or track your browsing activities.

Step 1: Open the X-VPN Mobile application.

Step 2: Click Advanced Feature > Kill Switch, once it’s enabled, the button will turn yellow.

Step 3: Connect to the X-VPN server of your choice.

And that’s it! Kill Switch is now enabled to protect your privacy throughout your browsing session.
