Reliable (non random) network adapter addresses on osx
when connecting PureVPN on OSX High Sierra utun1 is currently ipv4 and utun0 is currently ipv6, however, other times the virtual network adapters change to different names eg utun1 and utun2 and sometimes ipv6/4 change, more stability here would be good so i don't have to adjust application connection options when the connection changes (i bind apps to network adapters to ensure they only use the vpn)

Hi,
We will suggest you to disable the IPv6 for better results.
Please have a look on how to do that : https://support.purevpn.com/how-to-disable-ipv6-on-mac

I have found that if i connect using the dedicated IP option PureVPN uses the same network interface each time it connects but if i use file sharing or stream modes the network interface flips each time as described by the grandparent, this needs fixing as it looks like different code is being used to connect using these modes when it should use the method used by the Dedicated IP mode

on High Sierra there is no off option for IP6 there is Automatica, Manual and Link-Local
