IPB185 - When IPv6 VPN and DNS Do Not Cooperate

Sometimes weirdness occurs within DNS if you’re on an IPv4 network and you connect to a dual-stack or v6-only VPN. Maybe the browser doesn’t connect, but you can still send pings, or vice versa.

These occurrances can be infuriating and very difficult to troubleshot.
