Hi TP-Link Team,

 

I’d like to kindly request that you consider adding a VPN Kill Switch feature in a future firmware update for Archer GE550 V1.

I noticed that this functionality has already been introduced for the BE550 model (as discussed here: https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/threads/topic/838636), however, it appears that the GE550 does not yet support this feature.

For my use case, a VPN Kill Switch is absolutely crucial to ensure that traffic is not exposed if the VPN connection drops unexpectedly.

It would be greatly appreciated if you could bring this feature to the GE550 in an upcoming firmware release.

 

Thank you for your continued support and improvements!

Hi @CyberRunes ,

Welcome to our community.

 

We have released a New Firmware for Archer GE550/GE650 V1 Introduces  VPN Kill Switch, and is available for all versions (Except for the EU version)

We have reported our request for the EU version of the pre-release firmware to the relevant authorities. If there is any progress, we will get back to you.

 

Best Regards.

 Hi @Joseph-TP ,

 

Thanks for the update, much appreciated. I’m looking forward to hearing more!

 

The VPN Kill Switch is quite critical for my use, which is why I’m on the verge of either returning the device or setting up an overcomplicated nested router setup just for this feature. Everything else works awesome, so I really hope this comes to the EU version soon.

 

I’ll keep an eye on the main thread you mentioned for any updates.

 

Thanks again!
