Description:
I cannot connect to my VPN server, since I enabled IPv6 on it. The reason is clear to me:
The IPv6 is not correctly masked against the port (have a look in the logline below). I think this is a NetworkManager issue, since it appears in the log from the NetworkManager unit. This both happens if I address my server by its name or by its IPv6

Additional info:
* networkmanager 1.8rc3+10+gddd6f94ab-1
* nm-openvpn[26607]: UDP link remote: AF_INET6]2a03:4000:6:f24e::1:1194


Steps to reproduce:
* Setup OpenVPN and NetworManager
* Add a connection to a server which is accessible and accessed by IPv6
* Try to connect, dump log via `journalctl --unit=NetworkManager`

This task depends upon

This is a very old issue. Is it still valid for you with latest version?
