Suddenly I am getting a new warning in my client side log:
WARNING: OpenVPN was configured to add an IPv6 route over utun6. However, no IPv6 has been configured for this interface, therefore the route installation may fail or may not work as expected.
This wasn’t there before and I see no way to disable it…server is set to UDP IPv4
Thanks for any insight.
Hi rdsmith24,
It sounds likely that your connection has the “Send all traffic over VPN connection” item selected for the “All Traffic” option (under the Networking tab when editing your connection). This will attempt to direct both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic through the VPN connection. The warnings you’re receiving are harmless, however to get rid of them you can select the “Send all IPv4 traffic over VPN connection” option instead (or select Automatic and leave it to the server).
Cheers,
James
Thanks, that was it…
Having the same issue. I tried the solution mentioned above but still receive the warning.
2022-01-01 21:16:43: WARNING: OpenVPN was configured to add an IPv6 route. However, no IPv6 has been configured for utun10, therefore the route installation may fail or may not work as expected.
2022-01-01 21:16:43: add_route_ipv6(2000::/3 → :: metric -1) dev utun10
This is on macOS Catalina
Settings:
Send all IPv4 traffic over VPN connection
Full DNS (Use VPN DNS for all traffic)
Does it matter what settings I have for IPv6 in Network Settings for my Ethernet connection? Or what settings I have on my router?
When I restarted the router and the connection went down I received this in the Viscosity log:

Hi jprokos,
Can you please post (or email to us if you’d prefer them not to be on a public forum) the details requested in the following article and we’ll take a look at where the IPv6 route/s are coming from for you.
