2net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
3net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1

  4. reboot and check that everything still works

Avvertimento

Disabling IPv6 on a server is not without dangers! See reference 2. Remember to disable IPv6 from server configurations such as OpenSSH and Unbound, for example.

/etc/ssh/sshd_config
1# [ ... ]
2AddressFamily inet
3ListenAddress 0.0.0.0
4# [ ... ]

OpenWRT

You may want to disable IPv6 on OpenWrt because of DNS issues with recent Android OSes. Android uses the IPv6 DNSes advertised by an OpenWRT router even if you set a static IPv4 DNS.

  1. login the LuCI web UI

  2. append this content to System -> Startup -> Local Startup before the exit 0 command

    sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1

    Nota

    The net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6=1 option does not seem to have any effect on the loopback interface.

  3. reboot
