Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/amnezia-vpn/amnezia-client/issues/742

Before AmneziaVPN 4.3.0.0 I could use it with another VPN (for my work) and everything worked perfectly, but after that my second VPN stopped working properly when I connect to AmneziaVPN first.
I assume it's because of the kill switch feature.
Could you make this parameter optional with the ability to disable it if not needed?

If you manually remove pf rules, it starts working.

################
# List pf rules
################
sudo pfctl -a 'amn/*' -s rules

##################
# Remove pf rules
##################
sudo pfctl -a 'amn' -F all

test -f '/Applications/AmneziaVPN.app/Contents/MacOS/pf/pf.token' \
  && sudo pfctl -X `cat '/Applications/AmneziaVPN.app/Contents/MacOS/pf/pf.token'` \
  && sudo rm -rf '/Applications/AmneziaVPN.app/Contents/MacOS/pf/pf.token'

sudo test -f /etc/pf.conf \
  && sudo pfctl -F all -f /etc/pf.conf

Faced same issue

I am using tailscale as work VPN and if I connected (or simply launch AmneziaVPN app) -- it stopped working if Amnezia is active

Actually I cannot even use a normal connection when Amnezia VPN is not connected but app is launched
