** Description changed: To verify: 1. Connect to a Wifi network that assigns IPv6 addresses. 2. Open http://whatsmyipv6.org/ note down the address. 3. Connect to a VPN. 4. Open http://whatsmyipv6.org/ and compare with the result from step 2. - Temporary fix: - Set the "Method" dropdown under "IPv6 Settings" in your Wifi connection to "Ignore". + Temporary fix (at least in some cases): + $ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1 I consider this a security bug since it endangers users relying on a working/leak-free VPN.
