Hallo Shraptor, I have an ip4 uplink and don't need ip6 atm, so I disable it (on all my machines in the LAN). I call this "minimalism" ;) Blacklisting the kernel module is IMHO the easiest and besides setting the kernel parameter in /etc/default/grub the only reliable way: IIRC, disabling it in sysctl.conf disabled ip6 but didn't survive a reboot without explicitly running 'sysctl -p' again, e.g. from /etc/rc.local. > any security considerations? Definitely. I read quite thoroughly into the ip6 standard and found that there's /a lot/ of complexity in it and its implementation. As long as I don't need it, I wait for the dust to settle and at least /some/ hidden bugs and other creepers to appear...
