Ipv6 is unmasking my real ip inspite of vpn masking ipv4

(preface:this error is occurring but my suggestion to the cause of it is purely speculation so if I speak authoritatively just remember the context)

Ok ipv6 is being implemented on the local carrier I use for my mobile internet service...I use a VPN provider and believe I have their best 'package' I got a subscription to this highly reputable and reliable VPN but im getting the impression the codebase it runs on either in Android OS itself or the VPN management app just doesn't handle tunnelling or masking ipv6 identities...if I check my ipv4 address right now it says I'm wherever I set my VPN to I can then refresh that same window and look up my ipv6 which states I'm in a different country...(Midface:I do not need insane opSEC as I neither vend nor buy but I do like to jus look at what psychedelics are around drool over people's awesome gear it's a great place to see such diverse drug porn catalogued to me!🤘)until today for my casual browsing needs all I've needed to do is fire up my VPN as my base connection to initiate the toring from (I don't want my IPs to be known to use TOR these days especially) anyways before I ever even initiated tor I noticed the lack of consistency between ipv4and v6 do I need to get a new VPN provider, settings change suggestion or a derp on my part...tinfoily times are upon us and the message I keep getting from the universe is taking shortcuts is how you lose in this game no matter how big or small you are. Love peace and gimme some tek advice.

Just disable ipv6. If you're using Linux it just click the network manager and go to your connection settings and where it says ipv6 change it to ignored. Not sure how to do this on Windows but I'm sure it's easy. You should also disable it in your browser as well through about:config (assuming you're using Firefox, you should be) You could also try disabling it from your router if you have access

Disable IPv6 on a specific network adapter (assuming you're using windows)

You can do this by unbinding the adapter in the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box:

Note:

The Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) check box affects only the specific network adapter and will unbind IPv6 from the selected network adapter.

To disable IPv6 on the host, use the DisabledComponents registry value. The DisabledComponents registry value does not affect the state of the check box. Therefore, even if the DisabledComponents registry key is set to disable IPv6, the check box in the Networking tab for each interface can still be checked. This is expected behavior.

Not to be a spoiled bitch but does anyone know how to do this without root in Android 7.0 ? Could I create an APN configuration that would disable IPv6?

If you neither buy or vend then just use tor, most vendors use just tor, it is more than fine
