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.

    Broke: disabling ipv6 because it’s causing security holes with software not originally built for it

    Woke: disabling ipv6 because hex ip strings are too hard to type

      Honest to Tux, I’ve never memorized a single IPv6 since its public release; ever.
