Switch off IPv6 on my line

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.

Re: Switch off IPv6 on my line

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

Re: Switch off IPv6 on my line

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.

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

Re: Switch off IPv6 on my line

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
