Bitmask VPN blockes IPv6 enabled sites
I noticed a weird behaviour with bitmask vpn. I'm using the new debian packages.
VPN works smooth using bitmaskclt (YEAH!), but IPv6 enabled sites are blocked, i.e ix.de.
Before starting the VPN ix.de
resolves for me to a IPv4 address.
After starting the VPN it resolves to a IPv6 address, and ping packets are blocked.
To make it even weirder, I can navigate the site in the browser (browsers seem to rely on their own DNS resolver, not the systems one).
