Overview
In case the VPN unexpectedly disconnects, Application Guard will terminate one or more programs of your choice automatically. You can choose the specific apps you want to be terminated.
This adds an additional layer of security to the VPN, by preventing any unwanted (private) information from leaking across your regular (public) network without your knowledge or consent.
Windows
If you have a poor or unstable internet connection, Application Guard will shut down specific applications automatically any time the VPN connection is lost.
Application Guard is only recommended for advanced users. Use this feature at your own risk.
