About this tag
The ipv6 leaks tag on WindowsForum.com covers situations where Windows VPN clients fail to protect a user's real IP address because IPv6 traffic bypasses the encrypted tunnel.

The fix in version 3.7.0.0 blocks IPv6 traffic rather than routing it through the VPN, a solution that prevents leaks but may affect connectivity.
