Open VPN Watch Dog Free Download
OpenVPN Watch Dog is a windows based application to securely monitor for stable encryption of internet traffic and prevent exposure of real IP address thereby offering the benefits of encrypted connection to the internet with IP address anonymity. The program also detects DNS Leaks issues and DNS changer malware/DNS hijacking threats when using OpenVPN and will automatically disconnect your internet when DNS leaks and threats are detected.
OpenVPN WatchDog is a program designed to monitor your OpenVPN connection and ensures that you do not blow up your anonymity when you lose your OpenVPN connection. When connected to an OpenVPN server and OpenVPN WatchDog is enabled, you can be sure that all traffic leaving your computer is fully encrypted. When your OpenVPN crashes or is compromised, OpenVPN WatchDog will automatically detect it, alert you of the danger and cut-off your internet access automatically. OpenVPN Watchdog is offered as a 'Software as a Service" (SaaS) which allows clients to detect and prevent security and DNS leak issues with OpenVPN connections using our hosted secure GeoIP servers.
In addition, the program has the capability to lock down your OpenVPN connection. After locking down your OpenVPN connection, network traffic will only exit through your OpenVPN connection, and no other network interfaces thereby preventing DNS leaks and IP leaks through your VPN connection. In the event a security issue is detected, a barking dog sound is produced and an alert is given. In addition, the program will automatically deactivate all internet connections on your computer. To enable internet connection again, simply click the "Enable All Network Connections" button to restore the internet access.
