Hello,

 

I am new to VPN's even though they have been around awhile. Privacy concerns have gotten me interested in them. At the same time I am learning about VPN's, the fairly new IPv6 protocol is slowly being implemented. I know very little of this. Is it possible to have IPv6 route through the VPN in addition to the IPv4 protocol? From what I have researched so far, it does not seem possible on a Windows system. Am I correct in assuming this is not possible with the AirVPN client or OpenVPN? Is this a privacy risk and, if so, is there a workaround? Please have patience with me as I am trying to learn. Thanks...

 

Best regards,

puff

As far as I know AirVPN doesn't support IPv6 natively. Searched the forums for IPv6, found this post from September 2012 by Staff. Should be up-to-date.

 

If there's no native implementation of IPv6 the industry uses IPv6 over IPv4, known as Teredo. I don't know whether OpenVPN supports IPv6 natively but Teredo shouldn't be a problem.

 

And my argument regarding privacy is: IPv6 is the privacy risk itself. I read a few articles years ago about possibilities of IPv6 and I found it quite "infringing"... hmm, well, comparable to the MAC address, every network card can have it's own IP address and this could be a privacy risk, I think. I don't know if things changed now.
I like IPv4 more because it's way shorter and simpler to memorize.

Anyone know if the Teredo protocol contains the mac address? I was searching around but it's hard to find a clear answer on that.
