From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Wireguard easily supports dual stack configuration on a single interface, but the VPN server must also have IPv6 enabled. I use AirVPN and I get both IPv6 and IPv4 with a single wireguard tunnel. In addition to the ::/0 route you also need a static IPv6 address for the wireguard interface. This address must be provided to you by ProtonVPN.
If that's not possible, the only solution is to entirely disable IPv6.
Yes, agree with you, especially your last comment: disable entirely IPv6
