End-user effects of IPv4 - IPv6 transistion Richard Owlett <rowlett@cloud85.net> - 2018-06-09 16:50 +0200

| Message-ID | <vYNlL-2hh-1@gated-at.bofh.it> |
The recent post about disabling IPv6 raised the question "How does this
affect me?"
A Duck-Duck-Go search gave a number of hits what the were and also some
historical information.
How does this affect a home user with only one machine?
As one of the articles reported that my ISP {T-Mobile} was already using
IPv6 internally, I suspect it does not.
Are there any "gotchas"?
Suggested search terms that would be fruitful for a home user?
[There is a side issue - a very non-geek friend living 1000 miles away
who uses only Windows will be contacting me if he encounters problems. I
will have to educate myself to see things from his perspective.]
TIA

Well, if you need to disable it, its pretty straightforward.
The question is - why would you need to do so.

You're paying your ISP to take care of the hard part of this equation
(billing, routing, peer isolation to name a few).
If T-Mobile is providing you with IPv6, everything should Just Work⢠for
you.
If it does not - there's big fat chance of a local configuration problem.

Short of 'check whatever they give you instead of a proper router just
to be sure that you don't have IPv6'?

Let's see.
'tcpdump 101'
'ipv6 routing basics'
'icmp type 134'
'dhcpv6 howto'
'debian disable ipv6'
'disable ipv6 regedit' (Windows only)
