Title:
network-manager-openvpn leaks w/ IPv6
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Status in network-manager-openvpn package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
By "leaking" I mean that there are packages leaving/entering the
machine without passing through the VPN.
To verify:
1. Connect to a Wifi network that assigns IPv6 addresses.
2. Open http://whatsmyipv6.org/ note down the address.
3. Connect to a VPN.
4. Open http://whatsmyipv6.org/ and compare with the result from step 2.
Temporary fix (at least in my case):
sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
I consider this a security bug since it endangers users relying on a
working/leak-free VPN.
