I want to disable ipv6 in my Ubuntu Server.
First, I open
/etc/sysctl.conf
using text editor.
$ sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf
Then I insert these following lines at the end.
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1
After that, I save the file using Ctrl+O and exit from text editor using Ctrl+X. On terminal, I type this command
$ sudo sysctl -p
I get result in terminal as,
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1
After that when I check,
$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6
I get result as,
1
From the result, I know my ipv6 disabled successfully.
