Wouldn't blocking IPv6 and using a kill-switch prevent leaking?

In the case of PureVPN, the only way of preventing leaks is by switching to a different provider. There is definitive proof that they keep logs despite their claims to the contrary. I have linked to a federal criminal complaint where the FBI requested logs after the offense and was given them by PureVPN. The relevant portion is on page 22.

Block IPv4 as well and you're pretty solid.

No, not in all cases. Imagine your Browser gets 0-dayed and just send all IPs it sees to an endpoint.

Noob here. If this happened, wouldn't any type of layering of network solutions ultimately result in this leaking all the same though?

No. The Browser or torrent prozess is sandboxed and can only see the VPN Network interface. The other interfaces are hidden.
