Do you have matching ip6tables rules to prevent IPv6 networking being
used for the prohibited things?

Squid can only prevent things going through itself.

Unless the VPN software is using HTTP(S) protocol messaging as a
transport layer, AND that messaging goes through the proxy, the answer
is no. That kind of control is what firewalls are for.

I second that.

Keep in mind that "iptables" command only sets up rules for IPv4
connections. They could be using IPv6. 'VPN' also has a number of
sub-types: 6to4, SOCKS, IP-IP, or remote NPT relay.
