IPV6 Leak Protection
Keep your IPv6 address hidden from prying eyes with our IPv6 Protection. Our unrivalled Ipv6 Leak Protection guarantees your online identity stays hidden across all connected devices by preventing IPv6 address leaks.
What is IPv6 Leak Protection?
IPv6 Leak Protection is a crucial security feature that prevents your device's IPv6 address from being exposed while connected to a VPN.
Even if your internet connection unexpectedly drops, this added layer of protection ensures your true IP address remains hidden, maintaining your anonymity online.
Protecting your privacy against potential surveillance and data breaches is vital, especially when accessing the internet over public or unsecured networks.
How Does IPv6 Work?
IPv6, or Internet Protocol version 6, is the most recent version designed to replace IPv4 due to the latter's limited address space. Unlike IPv4's 32-bit addressing, which allows for about 4.3 billion unique addresses, IPv6 uses 128-bit addressing, providing practically unlimited addresses. This expanded capacity supports the vast growth of internet-connected devices, ensuring each can have a unique IP address without needing network complexity like NAT (Network Address Translation).
