Provider-neutral self-test pilot
VyprVPN takes a position on IPv6 that puts the work on your side of the connection. Its support pages say the service is not currently supporting IPv6 and will route a VPN connection using IPv4 only, and it publishes separate instructions for disabling IPv6 on Windows, Linux and iOS. Alongside that it runs its own resolvers, enabled by default, and a kill switch it describes as blocking all internet and network traffic when the connection stops.
Live test
VyprVPN routes IPv4 only and tells you to switch IPv6 off yourself per platform, so the IPv6 line here reads as a check on your device rather than on the tunnel.
Current-session checks
Take a reading before and after connecting. On VyprVPN the IPv6 line is the one that reflects your own device configuration rather than a decision the app made for you.
Before you read the result
The points below come from VyprVPN's own feature pages and from its support articles on IPv6 and connection protection.
VyprVPN's support pages state that IPv6 is not currently supported and that a VPN connection is routed using IPv4 only, then publish separate guides for disabling IPv6 on Windows, on Linux and on iOS. That division of labour is the distinctive part: several providers on this list block IPv6 for you, whereas here the instructions are written for the person at the keyboard.
VyprVPN describes VyprDNS as its own answer to DNS censorship and documents it as enabled by default so that queries travel through the tunnel to servers the company controls. A DNS reading that still names your own network's resolver is therefore worth treating as a real finding rather than as ordinary behaviour. The usual explanations sit outside the client: a resolver pinned in the router, an operating system profile that survives the tunnel, or a browser secure DNS setting sending queries somewhere of its own choosing. This page reports which resolver replied and stops there, because which of those three was responsible is not visible from a browser.
The company says its kill switch automatically blocks all internet and network traffic when VyprVPN disconnects or is disabled. The word network alongside internet is worth noticing, because it describes a broader block than an internet-only switch and may explain a local service becoming unreachable at the same moment.
VyprVPN presents Chameleon as a protocol intended to help where networks restrict or block VPN traffic. Obfuscation of that kind alters how the connection appears to equipment along the way. It does not change which address a website records, so it is not a variable in the reading below.
If IPv6 is still enabled on your device and your network offers it, an IPv6 address can appear in the result while the tunnel carries IPv4. On this provider that outcome is a direct consequence of the documented design, and the fix lives in the platform guides rather than in the app.
Between the readings
VyprVPN says its kill switch blocks all internet and network traffic when the app disconnects or is disabled. “When” is a moment; the useful question is how many seconds wide that moment turned out to be.
Safe Copy exports use safe summary categories and remove raw IP, exact city, full user-agent, raw fingerprint data, raw resolver IPs and WebRTC candidates. It is not a certificate, provider audit, or proof of anonymity.
FAQ
Its support pages state that IPv6 is not currently supported and that a VPN connection is routed using IPv4 only, with separate guides published for disabling IPv6 on individual platforms.
VyprVPN publishes per-platform instructions for doing exactly that. Check its current guidance before changing system settings, since disabling IPv6 affects everything on the device and not only the tunnel.
VyprVPN documents VyprDNS as enabled by default so queries go through the tunnel to servers it controls. The DNS line above reports which resolver actually replied for this browser.
The company describes it as automatically blocking all internet and network traffic when VyprVPN disconnects or is disabled, which is wider than blocking internet access alone.
No. VyprVPN presents it as a protocol for networks that restrict VPN traffic. It changes how the connection appears in transit rather than which address a website ends up seeing.
Only indirectly. It reports whether an IPv6 address was reachable from this browser. The setting itself lives in the operating system, and it has to be read there.
