Integrity VPN does not redirect any IPv6 traffic through the tunnel.

Could this be fixed, please? (OpenVPN supports IPv6 just fine, for what it is worth.)

Confirmed to happen on both desktop and mobile.Your IPv4 address on the public Internet appears to be 192.0.2.1 (BAHNHOF http://www.bahnhof.net/, SE)
