Arch Linux
I’ve been trying to disable IPV6 as I think it is making my connection slow. I have looked at the arch wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/IPv6#Disable_IPv6) for how to do this and it recommends adding a few lines to /etc/sysctl.d/40-ipv6.conf. The problem that I have is that that file is missing and when I add I create it and the recommended lines, I still get an IPV6 address. I have added these lines to it:
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.enp1s0f0.disable_ipv6 = 1
The output from ifconfig looks like this:
enp3s0: flags=4163 mtu 1500

I don’t know really know where I’m going wrong, but if someone could explain that would be great. (Also I am using i3-gaps but I don’t think that’s relevant apart from the fact its sort of difficult to use the nm-applet)
