- PureVPN has IPv6 leaks when toggling Wi-Fi or resuming from suspend, allowing off-tunnel IPv6 traffic despite the client showing 'connected' status.
- The GUI client fails to block IPv6 traffic upon disconnection, requiring manual reconnection to restore protection.
- PureVPN wipes and does not restore the user's iptables configuration, leaving the system more exposed after VPN use.
- The client applies broad ACCEPT policies, removing existing firewall rules (e.g., UFW, Docker, custom rules) without restoring them post-disconnect.
- These issues undermine privacy claims, as real IPv6 addresses can leak and firewall protections are lost.
- Reports were submitted to PureVPN's security team but received no acknowledgment.
