Ubuntu :: Disable IPv6 In Lucid?
May 4, 2010Okay so on WebUpd8 website, (url), I found a way to disable IPv6 and I was hoping to get a little more of an understanding of if I should or not from comments there, but unfortunately I haven't gotten enough to say let's do that. So I figured I might get a better understanding on here.
I am not very familiar with IPv6, but to my understanding its a newer thing that's rarely found currently with ISPs, but can be a security issue now.

Jan 9, 2011I am experiencing very slow internet speed while downloading files from internet. Although torrent (KTorrent) download speeds are okay. I am using 'rekonq' Web Browser. Konqueror is slower than this and Firefox is the slowest. Thats why I have uninstalled Firefox from my Suse 11.3 KDE. I went through the guides mentioned here:

Networking :: Disable The Ipv6 Address Only?
Jul 28, 2009I have a host and typing ifconfig I get:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0E:7F:4F:E4:09
inet addr:130.130.9.9 Bcast:130.130.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0
inet6 addr: fe80::20e:7fff:fe4f:e409/64 Scope:Link
[code]...
and to do a test i want to disable or delete the ipv6 address, but mainteining the other configured parameters. Looking on the ifcfg config file I have
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
BROADCAST=130.130.255.255
[code]....
and nothing about IPv6... Then, using ifdown-ipv6 could i remove only the ipv6 address?

Slackware :: Disable And Enable Ipv6 Connectivity?
May 7, 2011I just finished setting up my slack machine as a home server (printers & files) and I noticed that I have an IPv6 address (from ifconfig)... I didn't know I did. I used to work in tech support and when a windows or OSx machine didn't connect properly on a LAN, disabling IPV6 was a common troubleshooting step. Is there a way to easily turn inet6 connectivity off/on in Slackware? (I want to keep the ability to get an IPv6, we will all use those in the future)

Jan 14, 2010I set up a static IPv6 address and a gateway in /etc/network/interfaces. However, a bad router in my network environment alway send wrong ICMP router discovery messages to me. So I have got extra (wrong) IPv6 address and gateway, and the routing is confused. On Windows Servers, I can use "netsh interface ipv6 set interface "Local Area Connection" routerdiscovery=disable" to disable ICMP router discovery. But I don't know how to disable it on Ubuntu 9.10. How could I disable ICMP router discovery for IPv6?

CentOS 5 Networking :: Disable IPv6 On Specific Interfaces?
Apr 10, 2011Now that IPv6 is becoming more and more common, I found the need to disable IPv6 on some interfaces but have it enabled on other. I found that /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/*/disable_ipv6 does exactly that. I am now wondering if anybody knows, why are networking scripts so counterintuitive. /etc/sysconfig/network has an option:
NETWORKING_IPV6=yes
All this option does is disable some ipv6 services (dhcpv6...), it does not disable IPv6 in whole (as one would assume...that's why you had to disable it with module parameters). Searching for more IP6 related config option, one can find that /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* scripts can contain:
IPV6INIT=yes
Again, this option does not disable IPv6 protocol on the interface, it just skips running ifup-ipv6/ifdown-ipv6 scripts. I added a /sbin/ifup-pre-local. Now, this script runs before ethX entries are created (other scripts run when it's already too late) in /proc directory, so it modifies default values which are then used after those entries are created:
#!/bin/bash
#
[ -f "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/$1" ] && . /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/$1

Debian :: Disable Ipv6 Protocol - Could Not Connect To Any Websites With Iceweasel Or Midori
Jun 15, 2010When I go out of town I normally take my Acer Netbook to travel light. I ran into a problem over the weekend which I have seen before and couldn't find the cause. I used the wifi at the house I was staying at and could connect to the router via Wicd and ping outside IP addresses, however, I could not connect to any websites with Iceweasel or Midori. I receive the generic error that the browser is unable to connect. Now that I am back at my house I cannot repeat the problem, but have found a couple threads about disabling ipv6 protocol. The symptoms sound like a browser setting, but I couldn't find any settings that looked unusual.

Jun 26, 2010There seems to be much disagreement between distros regarding how ipv6 is disabled, even between different versions of the same distro. Rather than just follow instructions for disabling ipv6 for a given distro, I would like to also test that ipv6 is not used any more. Any software or executable that relies on ipv6, that I can use to confirm that ipv6 has been successfully disabled?

View 2 Replies View RelatedFedora Networking :: FC15 IPV6 Wireless Router - No Longer Gets An IPv6 Address
Aug 31, 2011I have been struggling to get FC15 to act as an IPv6 router for a while now, am sure I am missing something trivial.. The idea is that I have a ppp / adsl connection (this works fine), use the wireless card on my pc with hostapd and dhcpd to provide connections to other pcs (works fine), and radvd to delegate ipv6 addresses.
The issue seem to be that as soon as I turn on ipv6 forwarding (net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding =1), the ppp connection no longer gets an IPv6 address. This means the router cannot ping any ipv6 address outside my network.
If I disable ipv6 routing, my router gets an IPv6 address on its ppp connection, and can ping things such as ipv6.google.com just fine, however (of course) no packets are forwarded from my network and radvd complains that forwarding is disabled.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Security :: Set A Rule In Iptables, Does That Rule Also Apply To Ipv6, Or Just Ipv4?
Jul 16, 2010Question (and Google results aren't making this clear): Ubuntu has both iptables & ip6tables installed. 1. If I set a rule in iptables, does that rule also apply to ipv6, or just ipv4?
2. If "no" to above, then it would be prudent to *also* set ip6tables rules as well if I want to maintain an active firewall, correct?
3. Does ip6tables rules have the same syntax and behavior (more or less) to iptables rules - i.e. can I just copy my iptables rules & change "iptables" to "ip6tables"?
4. Any gotchas or issues that I should be aware of?

Sep 3, 2010I've made an SSH server using OpenSSH on my desktop Ubuntu (10.4) for tunneling. However, I'm noticing that the public account I made for my SSH (one to give to friends to use proxy) has SFTP access to crucial system files. I'm okay with SFTP being enabled on my account, but not on this public account. Does anyone know of anyway to either disable SFTP to that user, or restrict access to important files?

Jun 19, 2011Set up a few machines yesterday to test out some parallel code. Just for fun, I selected the "encrypt users files" option when setting up Ubuntu (10.10). I had never used the option in years past. Now I'm finding it a pain. EG., ssh requires me to already have a login to the machine before it will let me log in w/o a password (eg., using id_rsa.pub and authorized_keys).
Similarly, I have no reason to encrypt files on these machines. They're just crunching numbers. Is there an easy way to disable this? Or do I need to delete my original user and make another one (with all the su privelages, etc...) w/o an encrypted file system / home directory.
