• [6.7.2+] IPv6 internet access despite "IPv4 only"

    • Solved Minor

    This bug report is based on the following thread:

     

     

    While the version of Unraid I am using there is 6.8.0-rc7, I have also tested with 6.7.2 as well as both in safe mode, the results always being the same. My Unraid server appears to have IPv6 internet access despite it being disabled from within the settings.

     

    Summary:

     

    When choosing "IPv4 only" in "Network Settings",

    IPv6 network addresses are assigned to network interfaces

    Those network interfaces can access the local network via IPv6

    They can be pinged via IPv6

    Those interfaces can access the internet via IPv6

     

    I believe the intended behaviour when choosing "IPv4 only" in Network Settings is that IPv6 is disabled

     

    IPv6 network functionality is only disabled after the follwing commands:

     

    sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
    sysctl net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1
    sysctl -p

    Fresh diagnostics attached,

    Thanks.

    I made an update which allows selective disabling of IPv6 per interface.

    When an interface is configured with "IPv4 only" it will have IPv6 completely disabled, and hence won't get an address from a router using SLAAC.
