How to disable IPv6

[Charles2019]

@Charles2019 see the fourth post above on how to accomplish this. You have to create a new floating rule.

Actually that doesn't work as it should either. 
When I added the rule myself as noted above, I got this: ipv6_01.png
But when I unchecked the box to allow IPv6 I got this: ipv6_02.png

I don't think you did it correctly.

You need to enable "Allow IPv6". If you uncheck it then the system will place a firewall rule at the top that will log blocked traffic.

Once you enabled that make sure your floating rule looks like the following and make sure you choose all interfaces you want to block and hide traffic from the log.

...another reason why I don't want IPv6 at all:

Could we please have a kill switch for IPv6, totally and completely? Or an image without any IPv6?

Please, please?

There is only one real way to disable IPv6 which is not compiling it into the kernel, which breaks several ports.

Blocking it completely should suffice.
