In my case, the biggest consideration is: Does the ISP carry IPv6 traffic? Mine didn't (and I'm using the biggest ISP in the country). But having everything *else* in my LAN with working IPv6 meant that they often tried to use IPv6 by default, and things would stall at every connection attempt outside of my LAN. To use IPv6 web services I'd need an IPv4 - IPv6 tunnel that's hosted outside of my ISP. I don't have a need for that, so I'm not going to pay for one. So, I switch off IPv6 features on everything that lets me: The PC's network interface, my DNS server, web browsers, audio streamers. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.11.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Dec 18 16:34:56 UTC 2020 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
