Windows 7 Network Filters – VPN KillSwitch is not deactivatable and can not be found

I have been using a VPN which comes with a built-in KillSwitch functionality.
For reasons unknown to me this KillSwitch persists after

  • closing the VPN
  • deactivating the KillSwitch setting
  • uninstalling/reinstalling
  • etc..

A reset of WinSock / IPv4 + IPv6 does not help either.

The Windows diagnostics tool shows a possible culprit to be a setting with the Filtername “ZoogKillSwitch” (Which is also the name of the VPN in question). However I am unable to find such a Setting/Filter anywhere on my system (See image below)

Internet Connectivity Diagnostics and Network Filters

It also does not show up in the filters.xml after a netsh wfp show filters

Does anyone have an idea on where one might find this ominious “ZoogKillSwitch” Filter?
