Thanks for reaching out. We would suggest you to download purevpn app for windows and activate kill switch this will kill your internet activity when your connection is lost.
If you set up the VPN this way through Windows, how do you know when the connection drops? And can you still have the internet close when the VPN disconnects?
We are Glad you found it.
Let us know if we can be of any assistance!

OpenVPN is too slow and I already tried adding these lined to the config file:
sndbuf 0
rcvbuf 0
push “sndbuf 393216”
push “rcvbuf 393216”
But it’s still too slow.
