  1. Blocking app startup unless VPN is active (NordVPN)


    I'm wondering if there is any way to block the opening/starting of an app unless a VPN is active? I use NordVPN, with their client but can configure it through the Windows VPN configuration page if needed.

    Is this even possible? I do have kill switch enabled for the program but that's only half of the solution.

    I use Nordvpn. You can connect 6 devices. You can choose servers by country or by a list of each server in each country, use UDP or HTTP, PPtP, L2TP. Double VPN, TOR via VPN. There`s are apps for android and iphones as well as DNS leak protection.

    NordVPN Blocking Excel's Autosave

    NordVPN logs your data but if you are aware of this or don't care then all is good: Anyways, I have the same issue but with a different VPN and without a "CyberSec"-feature. When I'm connected to the VPN it completely blocks my access to Office 365 and all Office applications.

    Have you solved this OP?
