XR1000 VPN Kill Switch

Upgraded from the XR500 to the XR1000. Looks like the XR1000 does not have a kill switch for the hybrid VPN. Is there any update when that will be available?

I don't think the XR1000 has HybridVPN, are you referring to the VPN service in settings?

You’re right. So when is the xr 1000 going to get hybrid vpn?

Sadly I had to return it due to this gap.

I think it should be in the next firmware but we don't have an ETA

We don't give out ETAs, people ask constantly about an update and based on what I know at the time is how I respond. Development is fluid, expected dates change all the time, have 2 companies in the mix like this scenario and that's magnified. If you want to do that you're more than welcome to but it won't bring an update any faster unfortunately. I'm also pretty sure most people are aware their router hasn't had an update.
