This is NOT expected behavior. A VPN killswitch is supposed to cut all non-VPN connections on ALL INTERFACES. Not doing so could lead to leaks, especially with things like Torrent clients.

Case in point:

- IVPN and Mullvad does not have this issue on Linux. It is ProtonVPN specific.

- IVPN, Mullvad, AND PROTONVPN do block all non-VPN connections on macOS. Yes, the ProtonVPN client DOES NOT have the same behavior on macOS.

How would you go about "[creating] additional isolation to limit the interfaces that applications can attach to?" Is it actually any better than a firewall based implementation?

If only you would just spend 15 minutes doing basic testing before calling other people "clickbait".
