Un kill switch de VPN es una funci\u00f3n de seguridad que corta tu conexi\u00f3n a internet en el momento en que tu conexi\u00f3n VPN cae. Sin advertencias, sin retrasos: tu tr\u00e1fico se detiene hasta que la VPN vuelva a estar activa.<\/p>\n\n

Sin \u00e9l, una desconexi\u00f3n repentina de la VPN expone tu direcci\u00f3n IP real y el tr\u00e1fico no cifrado a cualquiera que est\u00e9 observando: tu proveedor de servicios de internet, la red en la que est\u00e1s o terceros. El kill switch cierra esa brecha autom\u00e1ticamente.<\/p>\n\n

Es una de las funciones de VPN m\u00e1s pr\u00e1cticas que puedes tener, y funciona completamente en segundo plano.<\/p>\n\n

C\u00f3mo funciona un VPN Kill Switch<\/h2>\n\n

Cuando usas una VPN, todo tu tr\u00e1fico fluye a trav\u00e9s de un t\u00fanel VPN <\/a>cifrado hacia un servidor VPN. Tu direcci\u00f3n IP real permanece oculta: la IP del servidor es lo que ve el mundo exterior.<\/p>\n\n

Las conexiones VPN no siempre son estables. Un hipo del servidor, un cambio de red o una breve ca\u00edda de la se\u00f1al pueden interrumpir el t\u00fanel VPN sin que te des cuenta. En esos segundos, tu dispositivo vuelve a su conexi\u00f3n a Internet habitual, desprotegido y expuesto.<\/p>\n\n

El kill switch monitorea su conexi\u00f3n VPN en tiempo real. En el momento en que se pierde la conexi\u00f3n VPN, bloquea todo el tr\u00e1fico de internet. Permanece activo hasta que la VPN se reconecta, luego restaura su conexi\u00f3n autom\u00e1ticamente. No tiene que hacer nada.<\/p>\n\n

Tipos de VPN Kill Switches<\/h2>\n\n

Los VPN kill switches se dividen en dos tipos principales. Cu\u00e1l necesites depende de c\u00f3mo uses tu VPN.<\/p>\n\n

Kill Switch a nivel de sistema<\/h3>\n\n

Un kill switch a nivel de sistema corta todo el tr\u00e1fico de internet en el dispositivo si la VPN se cae: cada aplicaci\u00f3n, cada navegador, cada proceso en segundo plano. Nada pasa sin la protecci\u00f3n de la VPN.<\/p>\n\n

Esta es la opci\u00f3n m\u00e1s exhaustiva. Si la privacidad importa en todo lo que hay en su dispositivo, el system-level VPN kill switch es la elecci\u00f3n correcta.<\/p>\n\n

Kill Switch a nivel de aplicaci\u00f3n<\/h3>\n\n

Un kill switch a nivel de aplicaci\u00f3n te permite elegir qu\u00e9 aplicaciones se bloquean si la VPN se desconecta. Todo lo dem\u00e1s sigue funcionando con normalidad.<\/p>\n\n

Esto es \u00fatil cuando deseas proteger una actividad espec\u00edfica (un torrent client, una <\/a>messaging app, una work tool) sin interrumpir toda tu conexi\u00f3n. Tu navegador puede permanecer en l\u00ednea mientras una sensitive app se desconecta hasta que la VPN se reconecte.<\/p>\n\n

Ambos tipos de kill switches protegen tu IP address y datos. La diferencia es el scope.<\/p>\n\n

Por qu\u00e9 necesitas un VPN Kill Switch<\/h2>\n\n

Un VPN kill switch es esencial si dependes de tu VPN para algo m\u00e1s que la navegaci\u00f3n casual.<\/p>\n\n

Las conexiones VPN se caen. No sucede a menudo con una VPN confiable, pero sucede: problemas del servidor, Wi-Fi inestable, cambio entre redes. Sin un kill switch, esos momentos de desconexi\u00f3n te dejan expuesto sin previo aviso.<\/p>\n\n

En Wi-Fi p\u00fablico, <\/a>esa exposici\u00f3n es inmediata. Aeropuertos, caf\u00e9s y hoteles operan redes abiertas donde otros pueden interceptar el tr\u00e1fico no cifrado. Una VPN con un kill switch mantiene sus datos protegidos incluso si la conexi\u00f3n falla.<\/p>\n\n

Para el trabajo remoto, un VPN kill switch tambi\u00e9n es importante. Muchas empresas requieren una VPN para acceder a sistemas internos. Si la VPN se desconecta a mitad de la sesi\u00f3n, los datos sensibles podr\u00edan viajar brevemente a trav\u00e9s de una conexi\u00f3n desprotegida. El kill switch evita eso.<\/p>\n\n

Una VPN sin un kill switch ofrece buena protecci\u00f3n la mayor parte del tiempo, pero no todo el tiempo. El kill switch cubre los vac\u00edos.<\/p>\n\n

C\u00f3mo activar el Kill Switch en Planet VPN<\/h2>\n\n

Planet <\/a>VPN incluye un kill switch integrado en la versi\u00f3n premium. Aqu\u00ed te explicamos c\u00f3mo activarlo:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  1. Abra la aplicaci\u00f3n Planet VPN en su dispositivo.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Vaya a Settings.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Busque el interruptor Network <\/strong>Kill Switch y act\u00edvelo.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Con\u00e9ctese a un servidor VPN como de costumbre.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    Una vez activado, el kill switch funciona autom\u00e1ticamente. Si la conexi\u00f3n VPN se interrumpe inesperadamente, tu internet se corta hasta que la VPN se reconecte. No necesitas monitorear nada, se encarga de todo por ti.<\/p>\n\n

    Para activar el VPN kill switch en la aplicaci\u00f3n de escritorio, los pasos son los mismos. Abre VPN settings, activa el kill switch y con\u00e9ctate.<\/p>\n\n

    FAQ<\/h2>\n\n

    \u00bfDeber\u00edas activar un VPN kill switch?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

    S\u00ed \u2014 especialmente si usas una VPN en redes p\u00fablicas, para el trabajo o siempre que la privacidad te importe. El kill switch te protege durante los breves momentos en que una conexi\u00f3n VPN se interrumpe. No hay desventajas en dejarlo activado. Lo \u00fanico que notar\u00e1s es una p\u00e9rdida temporal de internet si tu VPN se cae, que es exactamente el punto.<\/p>\n\n

    \u00bfQu\u00e9 hace un kill switch en una VPN?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

    Bloquea su conexi\u00f3n a internet en el momento en que su VPN se desconecta. Esto evita que su direcci\u00f3n IP real y el tr\u00e1fico no cifrado queden expuestos durante una ca\u00edda. Cuando la VPN se reconecta, su conexi\u00f3n a internet se restaura autom\u00e1ticamente.<\/p>\n\n

    \u00bfQu\u00e9 hace un VPN kill switch si la VPN se cae?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

    El kill switch corta autom\u00e1ticamente el tr\u00e1fico de internet en tu dispositivo \u2014 o en aplicaciones espec\u00edficas, dependiendo del tipo de kill switch \u2014 y lo retiene hasta que el t\u00fanel VPN se restablezca. Tu IP address permanece protegida en todo momento. No tienes que reconectarte ni ajustar nada manualmente.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
