Chrome Kill Switch in FollowNet — browser-only leak protection
If the FollowNet browser proxy drops, Kill Switch aims to stop Chrome from leaking to the clear path. It is not an OS-wide VPN kill switch.
What to know
FollowNet for Chrome routes tab traffic through a proxy. Kill Switch is scoped to that browser path. FaceTime, Slack desktop, and other Mac apps stay outside it — use iOS Network Extension when you need whole-device coverage.
How to use it
Keep Kill Switch enabled in the extension when you rely on the proxy on untrusted networks. If status looks stuck after a Chrome update, disconnect and reconnect from the popup.
Limits and honest expectations
No kill switch is perfect across every Chrome/OS edge case. It never covers apps outside the supported browser.
