Exclusive: Turbo VPN releases emergency Windows update after TechRadar uncovers persistent IP leaks
Despite issuing a patch earlier this week, the app continued leaking IPv6 addresses across all protocols until a second update was deployed today
Turbo VPN has released an emergency update for its Windows app following TechRadar's discovery of persistent IP leaks. The Singapore-based provider, which has over 500 million Android downloads, initially issued a patch after the initial technical findings were shared with them earlier this week. However, version 3.6.0.0 continued to leak both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, particularly on its proprietary protocols (Lepus, LinkSentinel, and V2Ray).
After further technical evidence was provided, Turbo VPN released update 3.7.0.0, which now successfully blocks unencrypted IPv6 traffic. However, the company has been vague about the removal of V2Ray protocol and the specifics of its proprietary protocols.
