Protect your online privacy and security
Fast, private, and easy to use, get Hidzo on your device and browse freely with one tap.
Get HidzoVPNA VPN keeps your online data private and secure as long as it’s connected. What if your VPN connection dropped? That’s when things get ugly; unless your VPN app is equipped with a Kill Switch, just like HidzoVPN Premium is.
What Is a Kill Switch?
Think of a Kill Switch as an online emergency brake. If your VPN connection drops, the Kill Switch feature stops all internet traffic on your device. Nothing goes out, and nothing comes in until the connection is reestablished.
What Is a Kill Switch Good For?
A VPN masks your real IP and hides your location. When your VPN connection drops temporarily for reasons such as weak Wi-Fi or switching networks, your location, IP, and what you were browsing suddenly become visible to anyone who might be monitoring your internet traffic; It might be your ISP or a bored hacker.
However, with the Kill Switch feature on, when the VPN connection drops, your data gets quarantined on your device until the VPN connection is on again. So, in short, it’s an extra, yet necessary layer of privacy protection.
Who Can Use the Kill Switch?
The Kill Switch feature is only accessible for HidzoVPN premium users. Free users can pay only $2.99 to benefit from this handy feature, along with many more.
Is the Kill Switch On by Default?
For HidzoVPN Premium users, it’s enabled by default to maximize their online privacy. If you prefer to disable it, you can do so in the “Settings.”
How To Find and Manage the Kill Switch?
You can manage Kill Switch in just a few taps:
- Open the HidzoVPN app
- Go to your Profile
- Tap VPN Settings
- Look for Kill Switch
- Use the toggle to turn it ON or OFF
Why Should You Keep the Kill Switch On?
It’s strongly recommended to keep the Kill Switch feature on because if your VPN gets disconnected, whatever you’ve been protecting gets leaked. It’s like spilled water; you can’t put it back in the jar. Enabling the Kill Switch is necessary if you:
- Use public Wi-Fi
- Rely on stable privacy for work
- Live in or travel through countries with strict internet environments
- Want zero chance of IP leaks
- Keep multiple apps running in the background
Kill Switch Troubleshooting
“My internet stops working when Kill Switch is on.”
This is expected behavior when HidzoVPN disconnects. Simply reconnect your VPN, and your internet will come back instantly.
“I don’t want my connection to stop when VPN disconnects.”
You can disable the Kill Switch in settings to stay online even when privacy protection is off.
