As the title says. Im trying to migrate towards privacy based choices all around. A VPN has been tough, I cant access some websites and i dont think i could convince my wife to adopt using it. I still use it anyway.

I just use a VPN app on the phone. You can prevent the phone from connecting directly and always to connect through the VPN

Yes, that sounds like the kill switch so no connections go through without the VPN.

You can select always on VPN for the same effect. It's not 100% guaranteed, but going directly is basically considered a bug
