How To Permanently Disable IPV6 Internet Protocol Under Ubuntu 16.04/Linux Mint 18

0 Network Saturday, September 24, 2016

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
In this guide, we are going to see how to disable the IPV6 Internet Protocol under Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Linux Mint 18 "Sarah". IPv6 is a recent version of the Internet Protocol that is intended to replace IPv4. 
 
Some users reported that IPv6 is merely a surveillance tool terrible for your own privacy. In this guide, you can see how to permanently disable it. 
 
Disabling IPV6 Internet Protocol 
 
You can check whether ipv6 is enabled or not using this command: 
 
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6</blockquote>
 
0 --> Enabled 
1 --> Disabled 
 
If enabled, edit this file using this command: 
 
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
sudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf</blockquote>
 
Add these lines at the end: 
 
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
# Disable IPv6 </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1 </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1 </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1</blockquote>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pDdtwIKdU2s/V-aocqyN4VI/AAAAAAAANhE/PJOZyg2x6mcqbw4WrSmjX1KnaJqWvUyjgCLcB/s1600/ipv6-disable-ubuntu.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="276" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pDdtwIKdU2s/V-aocqyN4VI/AAAAAAAANhE/PJOZyg2x6mcqbw4WrSmjX1KnaJqWvUyjgCLcB/s400/ipv6-disable-ubuntu.png" width="400" /></a></div>
 
 
Save your file and exit. Run this command so that changes take effect: 
 
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
 sudo sysctl -p</blockquote>
 
You can check again if ipv6 is disabled using this command: 
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
  cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6</blockquote>
 
You should get 1 as output.
