Does IPV6 pose greater risk than IPV4 for linkage?

From time to time one slips and accidentally signs in without being connected to VPN. In case the IPV6 is activated and shared by all user accounts, does it post a greater risk for linkage than IPV4?

In other words, is IPV6 much more unique and static than IPV4?

No, there's no greater risk. Chances are you have both an IPv4 and IPv6 address since most of the internet isn't yet accessible via IPv6.

Exactly.. most websites will read both IPv4 and IPv6.. PayPal/eBay being one of those websites.

If you're using VPN, be sure to disable IPv6 otherwise that will be leaked.
