While experimenting with ProtonVPN’s Wireguard configs, I realized that my real IPv6 address was leaking while IPv4 was correctly going through the tunnel. How do I prevent this from happening?

I’ve already tried adding ::/0 to the AllowedIPs option and IPv6 is listed as disabled in the NetworkManager profile.

    Maybe try forcing only IPv4 connections for the traffic you want to keep private?

    Your biggest leak maybe IPv6 DNS which is probably not that big of a deal really…
