I just wanted to ask the “the Community” if Norton VPN (which uses Amazon servers for the most part) hates to use IPv6 and DNS Encryption Authentication? Almost every time I connect to a Norton VPN Server, regardless of location, IPv6 is not even being used, and their DNS does not use all the Encryption Certificates that almost every other VPN uses. Why is this? Not a very good “security standard” for a “Cyber Security” company.
I know IPv6 has a known vulnerability and leaks. That might be why Norton VPN has decided not to use it. But if that is the case, then couldn’t they at least add a configuration option in the settings for their customers to configure themselves?
I.e. only IPv4 or IPv6, or both?
Attached here are some screen shots to show what’s going on.
Denver Server:
Sydney Server:
Zaventem Server:
Sao Paulo Server:
Vienna Server:
And lastly, below is an example of a third party DNS server being enabled through the network settings of my device. The picture below shows that IPv6 will work if you use a different DNS provider. And so will the various Encryption Authentication Certificates.

I’ve read through some of the other IPv6 post’s here, and I noticed I’m not the only one who noticed this problem, and has a problem with IPv6 not being enabled on Norton’s VPN service.
So, will Norton ever fix this problem?
Or is this lack of security and service to be expected for the foreseeable future from Norton VPN?

Someone really has to try to find the leak before it’s found in IPv6. And every month, more and more devices require IPv6, because IPv4 is running out of IP address.
As far as the Norton DNS Encryption Authentication Certificates not being utilized by Norton VPN, why is that?
