A VPN kill switch is a vital safety feature that automatically cuts your internet connection if the VPN drops, preventing your real IP address and data from leaking. Setting it up on Android is straightforward, and with our budget-friendly $1 voucher, you can enjoy premium VPN protection on all four apps: MD Proxy VPN, Nur Tunnel VPN, Ultra Tunnel VPN, and Marvs Go VPN. Follow this step-by-step guide to secure your Android device.

Why You Need a Kill Switch on Android

When you use a VPN, your traffic is encrypted and routed through a secure tunnel. But if the VPN connection suddenly fails, your device may automatically reconnect to the internet without protection, exposing your real IP address and sensitive data. A kill switch prevents this by blocking all internet traffic until the VPN is re-established.

On Android, where many apps run in the background and constantly exchange data, a kill switch is essential—especially when using public Wi-Fi or handling sensitive information like banking or work emails.

Our VPN apps include a built-in kill switch feature, and with our $1 voucher, you can activate it on any of our four apps. Here’s how to set it up.

Step 1: Buy Your $1 Voucher and Download the App

First, you need a VPN subscription. Visit our website at vpnprous.com/voucher.html and purchase your $1 voucher, which gives you 30 days of premium access. The voucher code looks like XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX.

After payment via Cryptomus, you'll see the voucher in your dashboard. Then, download your preferred app from our download page. All four apps—MD Proxy VPN, Nur Tunnel VPN, Ultra Tunnel VPN, and Marvs Go VPN—support the kill switch, so choose the one that suits your needs.

Step 2: Enter Your Voucher and Connect

Open the VPN app and enter your voucher code in the designated field. This will activate your premium subscription. Once activated, select a server location and tap the connect button. Wait for the VPN to establish a secure connection.

It's important to connect at least once before enabling the kill switch, so the app can configure the necessary settings properly.

Step 3: Locate the Kill Switch Setting

After connecting, go to the app's settings menu. Look for an option called 'Kill Switch,' 'Internet Kill Switch,' or 'Network Protection.' This is usually found under 'Security' or 'Advanced Settings.'

In MD Proxy VPN, for example, you'll find it under 'Security' > 'Kill Switch.' In Nur Tunnel VPN, it's under 'Advanced' > 'Protection.' The exact location may vary slightly, but it's always in the settings.

Step 4: Enable and Configure the Kill Switch

Toggle the kill switch to 'On.' Some apps allow you to choose whether to block all traffic or only specific apps. For maximum security, select 'Block all traffic.'

You may also have the option to automatically reconnect when the VPN drops. We recommend enabling this, but keep the kill switch on to ensure protection during the gap.

Once enabled, the kill switch will work in the background, scanning for any VPN disconnection and immediately blocking internet access.

Step 5: Test Your Kill Switch

To ensure your kill switch works, you can test it. First, check your IP address while connected to the VPN. Then, force a VPN disconnect by turning off your Wi-Fi or switching to cellular data (if you're on Wi-Fi).

With the kill switch enabled, your device should show no internet connection—websites won't load, and apps won't refresh. If you see a connection, the kill switch isn't active. Revisit the settings and enable it.

Remember, you can use our $1 voucher on any of the four apps, and the kill switch feature is included. If you encounter issues, contact our support team.
