Internet, auto shutdown when vpn stops working

Hello, Can someone help me get, my router to auto shutdown my Internet connection when my vpn stops working?
I have a Rt-ac51u Padavan Asus router , and I use nordvpn.

Your magic Google Search Term is "killswitch". Combine that with "OpenWRT" and "NordVPN".

Be aware, though, that if you "shutdown my Internet connection" you might be unable to re-establish a VPN link. Chicken-and-egg, you see.

Anyone know how can I make a killswitch onRt-ac51u Padavan Asus router?

Did that NordVPN page not help?

If not, then first up: are you using OpenWRT on your router?

The page linked above is most likely promoting an app-specific feature.
You can implement a VPN kill-switch on OpenWrt like this:
