From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Haha, yeah that's what ProtonVPN support recommended to me and I am not sure if I want to disable IPv6 globally like that. I feel (with my inexperienced brain) that there's gotta be a way to do it on a per connection basis.
Maybe try forcing only IPv4 connections for the traffic you want to keep private?
Your biggest leak maybe IPv6 DNS which is probably not that big of a deal really...
