-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Folks, Techtarget has just published an article I've authored for them, entitled "How to avoid security issues with VPN leaks on dual-stack networks". The article is available at: <http://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/tip/How-to-avoid-security-issues-with-VPN-leaks-on-dual-stack-networks> (Note: There are some banners (?) intermixed... but the whole article can be viewed without registration... just keep scrolling down!9 Its "Abstract" is: - ---- cut here ---- The imminent exhaustion of freely available IPv4 addresses has, over a number of years, led to the incorporation of IPv6 support by most general-purpose operating systems. However, many applications, such as VPN client and server software, have been lagging behind to become IPv6-ready. This results in scenarios in which dual-stacked hosts employ IPv6-unaware VPN software, thus opening the door to security vulnerabilities, such as VPN traffic leaks. In this tip, we'll discuss how these VPN security issues arise and the various mitigation options available for containing VPN traffic leaks. - ---- cut here ---- P.S.: Any comments will be welcome. Thanks!
