a few weeks, a group of researchers published results detailing possible IPv6 leak vulnerabilities in the VPN regular use. Since then TorGuard was busy harden our security by releasing IPv6 leakage prevention functionality on desktop computers and mobile VPN applications. . Today we released a new tool for detecting leaks of IPv6, especially for Android devices
The researchers reported in section 4.2
"Given the data sensitive to the amount stored in smartphones, it is essential to understand the level of exposure that mobile users have IPv6 leaks. the issue is even more critical since, according to our experiences, all VPN services tested on Android leak IPv6 "
How to detect leaks IPv6 on Android
