Hello,

 

nothing to be worried about, AirVPN is not vulnerable. The paper is outdated and wrong in some parts and the researchers could not fix it on time. Please see also: https://airvpn.org/topic/14231-ipv6-leakage-and-dns-hijacking/?do=findComment&comment=27633

 

Kind regards

Staff meant, DNS hijacking is not possible. Server IP and DNS IP must be different for this attack to succeed.

The IPv6 issue, however, is there and AirVPN can't help you with it if you are not using Eddie.
