How to disable IPv6 on any device

Updated:

This guide will show you how to manually disable IPv6 address address support on any device.

 

When IPv6 is enabled, it can drastically slow down your connection speed, cause unstable connection issues, or make it impossible to connect to the VPN server.

Select your device from the list below for detailed instructions on how to disable IPv6:

  1. Windows 8, 10
  2. Windows 7
  3. macOS
  4. Linux
  5. Android

 

While it's not possible to disable IPv6 on an iOS device, you can turn it off on your router via the admin panel or by contacting your internet service provider.
