Well, Tuomo, there should not be nat-traversal because IPv6 addr is 
static, right? But the VPN client still probes
the IPv6 4500 port on the server.

1. I can't seem to Google a way to tell MS Win 10 native VPN client not 
to try IPv6 address when it is present in DNS.
2. How would I instruct MS Win 10 VPN client not to attempt nat-traversal?

As Paul said this is a bug for libreswan not to listen on 4500, is there 
a hope it will be fixed, or does the kernel's
lack of support incur a theoretical impossibility?

Of course, I could revert to the old configuration (without AAAA address 
record), but then the server wouldn't have
IPv6 connectivity for any service. And it might be bad for server's 
reputation? Am I making any sense?

Thank you.
