You may get unexpected behavior with IPv6 because this is the way it is designed, for connectivity but not with privacy in mind.

Do you have an IPv6 address from your ISP? Since fe80% are link-local addresses, this is not considered a leak.

You will have no leaks if you either choose to disable IPv6 in the client, or enable Network Lock.

Thank you! wanted to post a screenshot of my ipleaks.net, but internet doesn't work at all now, which is stupid, because my trial will run out and I still don't know if I can get it to work (to buy a plan). Well crap.

edit: internet is back, but the trial ran out. Now I don't know if it works correctly for me/I can setup it. -.-

 

...

Am I good to go if I simply deactivate the ipv6 protocol in the settings of the local connection (LAN) and then read out the DNS, which is ipv4 then and follow the guide again?

...

 

I think most people here disable IPv6 on their PC, and maybe in their router. IPv6 is a pain when it comes to privacy.

 

Unless of course you want to play with IPv6. But then you will probably be on your own.

Oh I don't, believe me, I just want help.

But I think I now may have encountered a problem. See, my connection didn't work so I had to remove AirVpn to find a fix.

Now, if I have the ipv6 protocol disabled, I don't have any connection to the internet whatsoever. (ip and dns stuff set to automatic) Is that even how you do it? I didn't see that stuff in the how to setup guide I read on this forum

Anyway, as soon as I activate ipv6, I have an internet connection going. Does anyone know how to fix it? I ask because it is related to my other question before:

If I have both ipv4 and ipv6 activated, do I get DNS leaks because of ipv6? That's what I infer from ipleak.net displaying my country when ipv6 was (because it isn't now, because of former stated problem) deactivated.

Thank you again

Hi,

I know this is ancient, but I can't find another good place to start this, also don't want to open a new thread for this alone.

So basically, I'm trying out AirVPN for the first time here, because I want privacy from my ISP and such, but I guess something is wrong.

On ipleak.net it shows my I have a leaking DNS, that does mean I am NOT hidden, am I correct here?

I followed this guide here, but I don't see my DNS because it shows "fe80%..." which is ipv6.

Am I good to go if I simply deactivate the ipv6 protocol in the settings of the local connection (LAN) and then read out the DNS, which is ipv4 then and follow the guide again?

Sorry for my dumbness, but I'm not that technical about internet settings (yet).

Thank you in advance!
