How do I reset the Killswitch?

If you lack Internet connectivity either while using the OVPN desktop client, or afterwards, it is possible that the killswitch have locked itself. There are three ways to reset the killswitch: Restart the client, restart the computer, or through the terminal window/command prompt. If you want to reset it through the terminal or command prompt, follow these steps:

Ubuntu:

  1. Open Terminal
  2. Type: the following:
    iptables-save | grep -v 'ovpn.se' | iptables-restore
    ip6tables-save | grep -v 'ovpn.se' | ip6tables-restore

    iptables-save | grep -v 'ovpn.com' | iptables-restore
    ip6tables-save | grep -v 'ovpn.com' | ip6tables-restore

The killswitch is now reset and you should have Internet connectivity.
