Improvements coming to FastestVPN (IPv6 leak protection, Wireguard)
Seems like another lifetime VPN dealt that has been worth grabbing. Slow, but steady improvements. Apparently, IPv6 leak protection is now implemented, Wireguard is on the roadmap. Nice one 
E-Mail just came in:
FastestVPN users can now update to the latest that adds that much-requested IPv6 feature. Users will see the new updated functionality on Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS apps.
We needed to ensure that our app did not leak any IP address. After much testing, we are now confidently adding the ability to block IPv6 leakage to the growing list of FastestVPN features that users can enjoy.
Let’s introduce you to IPv6 and why it’s a big deal for the future of the internet.
What Is IPv6?
Every device that connects to a network needs an IP address to communicate. It’s a unique address that gives data information about where to go. An IP address ensures that your requested web page does not open up on another user’s screen on the network.
With billions of devices connected to the internet today and more coming online every year, the current IPv4 protocol is all but depleted.
Like IPv4, IPv6 is an internet protocol version designed for the next phase of the internet. It is a 128-bit address that gives 340 undecillion unique IP addresses. Comparing that with IPv4’s 4.2 billion unique addresses gives perspective on how much IPv6 is needed to facilitate the growing number of internet users.
What Does An IPv6 Address Look Like?
An IPv4 address has a numerical string that looks like this:
166.12.138.146
By contrast, an IPv6 includes both numbers and alphabets:
Fd7d:2f4a:961e:5bfd
Why Blocking IPv6 Leak Matters
Users who are upgrading to IPv6 addresses will find that existing solutions may not support it yet. Previously, FastestVPN did not feature the ability to block the leakage of the user’s IPv6 address while connected to a VPN server. It presented a challenge for users in certain situations such as while streaming. In addition to preventing IPv4 addresses from leaking, FastestVPN now prevents IPv6 addresses from leaking as well.
What’s Next For FastestVPN?
We are constantly making improvements to FastestVPN for the best user experience. Building on the commitment to providing a leading VPN service, we will be introducing more features, such as Wireguard support, in the future.
As we continuously detect and fix issues, we would love to hear your thoughts on what you expect to see from FastestVPN in future updates.

The Wireguard is very exciting! I really hope they will give the option to connect manually like KeepSolid, it'll be nice to set it up on the router (almost no VPN provider supports it)
Yeah, I also thought this was pretty exciting news!
Given that they also allow manual OpenVPN, I think manual setup will be possible. With Keepsolid, that's now my second lifetime vpn provider that's going to offer Wireguard. Awesome!
Great news, thanks for sharing. No mention of a Linux app though, that would be nice.
You can always use Wine or manually setup ovpn and possibly Wireguard on Linux.
If you want a Linux Gui client, import ovpn profiles to https://client.pritunl.com/
Yes I know, was just saying it would be nice to have an app like VPNunlimited has.
Yeah, VPN Unlimited is prem :P Maybe one day. Agree that it would be nice.
IPv6 blocking? What a great feature almost exactly 10 years after World IPv6 Launch Day /s.
Tbh I just have IPv6 disabled via network manager regardless of whether I use vpn or not, so not really an update for me either. Wireguard, however, is awesome news
I got that email on 25th of april
Watch out for @yoursunny now
You have IPv6 disabled?
Yes, I have.
Same here, easiest IPv6 leak protection.
Indeed
I started this years ago when I started using VPN and still have it disabled.
