Actually my firewall is persistent, just like many of the other good VPN clients, so "kill switch" is a bit of a misnomer. Which is why I called it wg-lockdown, named after Mullvad's lockdown mode. Persistent firewalls are effective, they just add a very tiny side-channel, as discussed in the link in my post. I just used the terms "kill switch" in my post because that's what many other people use.
Though the point about the LAN is a good point, I didn't consider that. I added LAN access because without it, the firewall was interfering with the networking of my docker container and virtual machines, which use local subnets. Even the official Mullvad client has issues with this. What do you recommend in this case? Manually whitelist the local subnets used by docker and my other virtual networks?
Edit: actually upon reading Mullvad's statement on TunnelVision, I realized that my firewall is still effective because it only allows traffic directed to LAN IP's to bypass the VPN. So regular internet traffic will be blocked if the attacker tries to redirect it to the LAN. I'm glad I used Mullvad as a reference implementation 😅
