IPv6 leak while using PIA
I use Private Internet Access as my VPN. The service worked great while I was usingWindows 8.1. After installing W10 Inoticed that I was getting local adds while visiting certain websites eventhough I was using a server in another town. I checked whatismyipaddress and sure enough my physical address wasdisplayed. I contacted PIA via theirchat. I was given many instructions onhow to plug the leak. The last oneinvolved changing the DNS settings and disabling the IPv6 setting on theEthernet connection. Before I changedthe DNS server settings from obtaining automatically to specific setting I thoughtwhy not just disable the IPv6 setting and see if that would work. It did work and I did not have to change theDNS settings. If you are using PIA youmight just want to check if your connection is leaking your IPv6 address to theworld.
