Killswitch does not appear to work when openvpn service is stopped #6

Installation went OK (I tried the script, which didn't work, but did a fresh install and used the manual route - went smooth, after using the same fix as others re cop/paste the scripts instead of wget).

ANYWAY... I wanted to test to see if the killswitch worked. Only way I could think of to test it - because I can't really just wait for the vpn connection to drop - was to sudo service openvpn stop. But, when I kill openvpn, it just bounces back to my ISP IP (I'm using a couple tests - 1 - tracerout google.com while SSHd into the pi - 2 - using the ip-trace torrent file through the torrent client also running on the pi.

So I figure either the killswitch doesn't work - script is out-dated or buggy? - or killing openvpn service is a bad test (in which case, what's a good test?)

Thanks in advance
