hi, I need to force traffic via the VPN where I assume that making a route 0.0.0.0/0 does just that but some users with IPV6 bypass this route and end up with their public IP regardless they are logged into the VPN… does this means I should set **0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000** route?

any advice is appreciated it.

The route would be `::/0`, this route cannot be added it is automatically included when the server has IPv6 enabled and has the `0.0.0.0/0` route. The server cannot force the client to include the route. Most clients including the Pritunl Client have an option to disable default gateway routing.

thanks Zach, let me try out disabling default GW with the users that I am having trouble with .

I had ::/128 … not sure what it does but took it away and added ::/0

thanks
