Re: IPv6 supported?

I carefully read that paper and, even if I'm not an expert of VPNs, clearly 
it doesn't apply to IPCOP. They only investigated "commercial VPN services" 
that claim to let you surf the web in  privacy and anonymity (and this is 
not what a VPN is used for, it's better to use a service as TOR for that).
Why these commercial VPN services fail in their job? Just because of their 
bad clients that don't check if there's something going wrong on the host 
(modified routing table, etc...), etc... etc... The important thing for you 
is here:

"Differently from the commercial VPN services surveyed in
this paper, an enterprise VPN gives individual employees se-
cure access to their company network. Although enterprise
VPNs might be exposed to these attacks, we argue that their
impact is rather limited compared to commercial VPN ser-
vices. Importantly, in this scenario, access to corporate re-
sources is only possible via the secure tunnel. IPv6 traffic leak-
age is therefore not possible, as connections to the corporate
network outside the VPN tunnel are not allowed (assuming all
configurations are done correctly). Instead, hijacking the DNS
could leak the names of the resources being accessed within
the private enterprise network. However, unless the attacker
has detailed knowledge of the corporate network, the name
resolution will fail, and the user will notice the error and even-
tually stop using the VPN"

By the way, this is not a surprise for me. From what I recall, my prof of 
Cryptography I were always repeating, almost every day: "Never trust a 
commercial software, just use an open source one!".
