📄 Description

Adds option to establish connection with openvpn server through IPv6. This way, if your ISP is already giving you an IPv6 address, you will still be able to connect to your server.
The IPv6 address is added on client's configuration file, below the IPv4 remote instruction. This way, a user will always try to connect to the IPv4 one, and only if it has no luck, it will then try to connect using IPv6.

Note: When using udp, client will need to wait until keepalive time elapses before it tries to connect through IPv6. If you would like this switch to be fast, I suggest you use TCP protocol instead.
