[strongSwan] IPv6 Remote Access

Hi Noel,
After checking with Wireshark it seems to me that Chrome only does A-lookups when connected through Strongswan, but are doing AAAA-lookups when locally connected to the same dualstack LAN (wifi). Firefox, however, seem to behave correctly. Chrome is in fact using the assigned DNS servers, just simply not sending AAAA-lookups.
I did a search on Google and found below, I know it mentions OpenVPN but still I found out when trying to reproduce the steps described that it seems to be my issue too.
https://github.com/schwabe/ics-openvpn/issues/609
If Im connected to 4G and connecting to Strongswan server, Chrome behaves like above, however when I switch on wifi (while connected in Strongswan client) and connect to a LAN with local IPV6 support Chrome starts resolving AAAA-lookups again. Im visiting ipv6-test.com for these tests, and have verified that the lookups are still going through the tunnel and not to the local LAN DNS-resolver when Wifi is on.

If I'm connected by wifi locally to the LAN, IPv6 works great in every way, however when remotely using Stronswan Android client to connect IPv6 doesn't work in Google Chrome. First I thought it had something to do with DNS-assignment in Strongswan, but, when I try Firefox mobile IPv6 works. I have even ruled out IPv4 by creating a new, separate tunnel with only IPv6 assignment (and enabling block IPv4-traffic in Strongswan client) and IPv6 internet still work in Firefox, but not in Google Chrome (DNS-names). Also I can use other Android apps like ping and ping both IPv6 adresses directly and even domain names only having AAAA-records.
