Hello people, Ill start by saying i stumbled into Sniffnet a few days ago after i somehow stumbled into 'Deb-Get'...I didn't know either existed. Really enjoy Sniffnet and plan on keeping it in my tool bag. Its very easy to use and navigate, i dont have to google how to edit config files and what not. From a beginner/novice computer person pov...great job to the person and or people that made/making this.
I use protonvpn 'paid' account which uses a dummy kill switch to block or route ipv6 traffic to a black hole (null route), as Proton doesn't support ipv6.
Sniffnet is showing traffic (not a lot but enough to cause some concern) on my ipv6leakintrf0 network-adapter which I believe means I'm leaking.
I checked https://browserleaks.com/ and https://www.dnsleaktest.com/, both of which don't show any dns leaks.
I don't have the best understanding of the nature and limitations of web-based tests or Sniffnet, but I'm wondering why the discrepancy between them and which one is right/wrong?
I apologize if this is wrong place to post, I do plan on going to home distro and protonsupport, i just wanted to touch base and see if i could get anyones thoughts while i was here checkin out the app's GitHub
