No internet after disconnecting from the VPN
On Windows this is usually the kill switch keeping you safe.

Windows: the kill switch is on
The kill switch blocks the internet when Fortis is off, so nobody sees your real address. To use the internet without Fortis, connect again, or turn the kill switch off in Settings. See Kill switch and startup settings.
Still no internet with the kill switch off? Restart your PC. Then see No internet on Windows after uninstalling or updating Fortis.
Android
Open your phone's Settings, search for VPN, and tap the settings icon next to Fortis VPN. Turn off Block connections without VPN, unless you want the internet to work only with Fortis on. Then turn Wi-Fi off and on again.
Android TV, Google TV and Fire TV
Restart the TV or the stick.
