Un kill switch VPN \u00e8 una funzione di sicurezza che interrompe la connessione internet nel momento in cui la connessione VPN cade. Nessun avviso, nessun ritardo: il traffico si ferma finch\u00e9 la VPN non torna attiva.<\/p>\n\n

Senza di esso, una disconnessione improvvisa della VPN espone il tuo vero indirizzo IP e il traffico non crittografato a chiunque stia guardando: il tuo fornitore di servizi internet, la rete su cui ti trovi o terze parti. Il kill switch chiude automaticamente quel vuoto.<\/p>\n\n

\u00c8 una delle funzioni VPN pi\u00f9 pratiche che si possano avere e funziona interamente in background.<\/p>\n\n

Come funziona un VPN Kill Switch<\/h2>\n\n

Quando usi una VPN, tutto il tuo traffico scorre attraverso un tunnel VPN crittografato <\/a>verso un server VPN. Il tuo vero indirizzo IP rimane nascosto: l’IP del server \u00e8 ci\u00f2 che vede il mondo esterno.<\/p>\n\n

Le connessioni VPN non sono sempre stabili. Un intoppo del server, uno switch di rete o una breve caduta di segnale possono interrompere il tunnel VPN senza che tu te ne accorga. In quei secondi, il tuo dispositivo torna alla tua normale connessione internet \u2014 non protetta ed esposta.<\/p>\n\n

Il kill switch monitora la tua connessione VPN in tempo reale. Nel momento in cui la connessione VPN viene persa, blocca tutto il traffico internet. Rimane attivo fino a quando la VPN si riconnette, quindi ripristina la tua connessione automaticamente. Non devi fare nulla.<\/p>\n\n

Tipi di VPN Kill Switches<\/h2>\n\n

I kill switch VPN si dividono in due tipi principali. Quale ti serve dipende da come utilizzi la tua VPN.<\/p>\n\n

Kill Switch a livello di sistema<\/h3>\n\n

Un kill switch a livello di sistema interrompe tutto il traffico internet sul dispositivo se la VPN cade \u2014 ogni app, ogni browser, ogni processo in background. Nulla passa senza la protezione VPN.<\/p>\n\n

Questa \u00e8 l’opzione pi\u00f9 completa. Se la privacy \u00e8 importante per tutto ci\u00f2 che riguarda il tuo dispositivo, il VPN kill switch a livello di sistema \u00e8 la scelta giusta.<\/p>\n\n

Kill Switch a livello di applicazione<\/h3>\n\n

Un kill switch a livello di applicazione ti consente di scegliere quali app bloccare se la VPN si disconnette. Tutto il resto continua a funzionare normalmente.<\/p>\n\n

Questo \u00e8 utile quando si desidera proteggere un’attivit\u00e0 specifica \u2014 un client torrent, <\/a>un’app di messaggistica, uno strumento di lavoro \u2014 senza interrompere l’intera connessione. Il browser potrebbe rimanere online mentre un’app sensibile si oscura finch\u00e9 la VPN non si riconnette.<\/p>\n\n

Entrambi i tipi di kill switch proteggono il tuo indirizzo IP e i dati. La differenza \u00e8 l’ambito.<\/p>\n\n

Perch\u00e9 hai bisogno di un VPN Kill Switch<\/h2>\n\n

Un VPN kill switch \u00e8 essenziale se ti affidi alla tua VPN per qualcosa di pi\u00f9 della semplice navigazione casuale.<\/p>\n\n

Le connessioni VPN cadono. Non succede spesso con una VPN affidabile, ma succede \u2014 problemi al server, Wi-Fi instabile, passaggio tra reti. Senza un kill switch, quei momenti di disconnessione ti lasciano esposto senza preavviso.<\/p>\n\n

Sulle reti Wi-Fi <\/a>pubbliche, tale esposizione \u00e8 immediata. Aeroporti, caff\u00e8 e hotel gestiscono reti aperte in cui altri possono intercettare il traffico non crittografato. Una VPN con un kill switch mantiene i tuoi dati protetti anche se la connessione vacilla.<\/p>\n\n

Anche per il lavoro da remoto, un VPN kill switch \u00e8 importante. Molte aziende richiedono una VPN per accedere ai sistemi interni. Se la connessione VPN cade durante una sessione, i dati sensibili potrebbero transitare brevemente su una connessione non protetta. Il kill switch impedisce che ci\u00f2 accada.<\/p>\n\n

Una VPN senza kill switch offre una buona protezione per la maggior parte del tempo, ma non sempre. Il kill switch copre le lacune.<\/p>\n\n

Come abilitare il Kill Switch in Planet VPN<\/h2>\n\n

Planet <\/a>VPN include un kill switch integrato nella versione premium. Ecco come attivarlo:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  1. Apri l’app Planet VPN sul tuo dispositivo.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Vai su Settings.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Trova il toggle Network <\/strong>Kill Switch e attivalo.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Connettiti a un server VPN come al solito.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    Una volta attivato, il kill switch funziona automaticamente. Se la connessione VPN si interrompe inaspettatamente, la tua connessione internet si interrompe finch\u00e9 la VPN non si riconnette. Non devi monitorare nulla: se ne occupa lui per te.<\/p>\n\n

    Per abilitare il VPN kill switch sull’app desktop, i passaggi sono gli stessi. Apri le impostazioni VPN, attiva il kill switch e connettiti.<\/p>\n\n

    Domande frequenti<\/h2>\n\n

    Si dovrebbe attivare il kill switch della VPN?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

    S\u00ec, soprattutto se utilizzi una VPN su reti pubbliche, per lavoro o ogni volta che la privacy \u00e8 importante per te. Il kill switch ti protegge durante i brevi momenti in cui una connessione VPN viene interrotta. Non ci sono svantaggi nel lasciarlo attivo. L’unica cosa che noterai \u00e8 una perdita temporanea di internet se la tua VPN cade, che \u00e8 esattamente lo scopo.<\/p>\n\n

    Cosa fa un kill switch su una VPN?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

    Blocca la tua connessione internet nel momento in cui la tua VPN si disconnette. Questo impedisce al tuo indirizzo IP reale e al traffico non criptato di essere esposti durante un dropout. Quando la VPN si riconnette, la tua connessione internet viene ripristinata automaticamente.<\/p>\n\n

    Cosa fa un VPN kill switch se la connessione VPN cade?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

    Il kill switch interrompe automaticamente il traffico Internet sul tuo dispositivo \u2014 o su app specifiche, a seconda del tipo di kill switch \u2014 e lo blocca finch\u00e9 il tunnel VPN non viene ripristinato. Il tuo indirizzo IP rimane protetto per tutto il tempo. Non devi riconnetterti manualmente n\u00e9 regolare nulla.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
