Ubuntu 14.04 Disable IPv6

August 16th, 2014 No comments

First, my ISP doesn’t support IPv6 so Linux works but DNS name lookups take forever. This helps.

Create a file named 10-no-ipv6.conf in /etc/sysctl.d/ with the following:

# No IPv6
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1
