Actually, the address 2001:b68:2:2600::51 is static to the client PC. It 
shouldn't do the NAT thing. :-/

I'll have to test for every provider I connect with.

Sometimes it is not our choice. And most of the times, I choose direct

But I can't seem to find how to prevent Win 10 VPN client from trying to 
establish a NAT connection. I will try more Googling.
