IPv6 Leak Protection

IPv6 Leak Protection is a vital feature that prevents your device from accidentally using the IPv6 protocol outside of the VPN. It ensures your system does not route any traffic over the less-common IPv6 stack, which can expose your true identity and location.

This mechanism specifically blocks, disables, or forces all IPv6 traffic to be handled by the VPN tunnel. It counters a major threat where older IPv4 VPNs fail to secure the newer IPv6 address assignments, leading to connection leaks.

IPv6 Leak Protection guarantees that even if your network supports the newer IPv6 standard, your VPN connection remains fully secure. It eliminates the risk of a split tunnel where your IPv4 traffic is encrypted, but your IPv6 requests bypass the VPN.
