For the process below to work, you will need to disable Windows Firewall once Comodo is installed. Using Comodo FirewallĬomodo Firewall is a free stand-alone Firewall, that unlike the basic Windows one, which only monitors incoming connections, also monitors all outgoing connections (very useful for blocking viruses that have infected a computer from ‘dialing out’, and commercial software that likes to ‘call home’ from verifying its authenticity).Ĭomodo Firewall can be downloaded from here. The rest of this tutorial assumes that you are using OpenVPN (it shouldn't matter whether via a custom VPN client or the basic open source one). We were unable to resolve the second, however, so we turned to Comodo Firewall. The first problem can be solved by following these instructions, and should work fine for PPTP and L2TP connections. We also could not get Windows 8.1 to display our OpenVPN connection in the Network and Sharing Center.

Some VPN providers, such as Private Internet Access, Mullvad, and VPNArea, (for the best VPN in 2018 check out our VPN reviews) include an internet kill switch in their VPN clients (VPNArea even includes a per-app kill switch), and we have discussed other third-party solutions to the problem before. ![]() Many people use the best VPN services to protect themselves while they're using P2P services such as BitTorrent, but a perennial danger when doing so is that your VPN connection might go down, leaving your real-world details exposed for the world to see. ![]()
