HOOK
What if your VPN drops for just a few seconds—and your real location gets exposed without you noticing? [On-screen: VPN icon flickers off, IP address appears]
KEY POINT 1
That’s why a kill switch matters. It’s a privacy backup that blocks your internet traffic if the VPN disconnects, so your data doesn’t suddenly leave the tunnel. [B-roll: traffic stopping at a locked gate]
KEY POINT 2
Without it, your device may reconnect to regular internet in the background—especially on public Wi‑Fi, travel hotspots, or unstable networks. That can reveal your IP address, DNS requests, or the sites you’re visiting. [B-roll: coffee shop Wi‑Fi, laptop reconnecting]
KEY POINT 3
Most good VPN apps include a kill switch, but it’s often buried in settings. Look for terms like “Kill Switch,” “Network Lock,” or “Always-on VPN.” Turn it on before you need it. [On-screen: settings menu highlighting toggle]
