What is IPv6 Leak Protection?
Prevent your data from leaking to the web with our IPv6 Leak Protection feature.
ExtremeVPN protects against IPv6 leaks by suppressing IPv6 traffic when connected to our VPN. An IPv6 leak reduces your online anonymity and allows third parties to monitor your web activities. Hence, it is highly recommended to use the IPv6 leak protection. This feature turns on automatically whenever you initiate your VPN connection and ensures that no Internet traffic leaks from your regular connection while connected to ExtremeVPN.
IPv6 leak prevention is a handy feature offered only by the best VPNs, like ExtremeVPN. This feature safeguards your IPv6 address and the devices you use to connect to an IPv6 website. It ensures IPv6 traffic is tunneled over the VPN or blocked entirely.
How does IPv6 Work?
IPv6 is the latest addressing protocol intended to encompass all of the potential needs of the future internet, known as the Internet version 2. Like its predecessor, IPv4, this protocol operates on the Network Layer of the OSI model. This protocol offers impressive features that address the faults of IPv4 in addition to providing a vast quantity of logical address space.
IPv6 replaces the 32-bit IPv4 address with a 128-bit address, resulting in many addresses. IPv6 addresses are expressed as eight groups of four hexadecimal digitals separated by colons. IPv6 is as well-known as IPv4, but because it was just recently introduced, it is still relatively new to the system, causing difficulties that must be fixed as soon as possible for it to function well.
Is IPv6 Secure?
IPv6 was designed with security in mind; thus, when properly deployed, it is more secure than IPv4. IP Security (IPSec) is a set of IETF security protocols incorporated into IPv6 to support authentication, security, and data integrity.
