Switch off IPv6 on my line

christed — Thu, 22 Sep 2022 11:11:09 GMT

Request to Plusnet to switch off IPv6 on my line. It is causing interference with my VPN.

Also how do I remove : Enabled, from Plusnet Router 2, advanced page.

Thanks in anticipation.

Plusnet don't support IPv6, so it's not enabled on your line.
You can disable it for your home network on this page http://192.168.1.254/IPv6.htm

Hi Dvorak.

Thank you for the swift reply.

Good news about IPv6.

http://192.168.1.254/IPv6.htm admin page, where it shows IPv6 enabled. it will not allow me to change the setting.

How do I do this?

Thanks again in anticipation.

@christed

Knowing nothing about IPv6 and guessing, what happens if you select Configuration then change the Allocation Mode to Off?

Hi thank you for the reply.

The problem is: When you go into the Advanced setup page then IPV6 box on the Hub 2 router, at the top of the IPv6 column is a line: Hub IPv6 status which shows Enabled.

Question is can this be switched to disabled or shown as OFF.

There seems to be no editing allowed on this setting.

What I want to do is to ensure all IPv6 is off, as something is causing DNS leaks on my VPN.

Thanks in anticipation
