So, this is a VPN client? I find it odd that it only supports Linux and Android, considering that these two platforms already have built in and fully functional VPN clients.

Other platform support on working, but this is just a beta.

OpenVPN is hard to use by non-hackers and complicated to configure well, too easy to have DNS or IPv6 leaks. Bitmask makes all that easy.

Do you prevent "DNS leaks" by running DNS through the tunnel, or by turning off DNS?

Do you prevent "IPv6 leaks" by running IPv6 through the tunnel, or by turning off IPv6?

And, more interestingly, are these answers consistent?
