Another reason I prefer XEN over OpenVZ. At this point I have to defer to someone who has more OpenVZ experience.

You know, the assumption has been that IPV6 is built as a module. It would appear in the results of running "lsmod". If it's compiled into the kernel, the previous suggestions won't work. You can try: echo net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1 > /etc/sysctl.d/disableipv6.conf While you should just be able to run "sysctl -p" to apply the changes, I'd recommend rebooting one more time. a2787382 on "vps ip ::ffff:" http://www.lowendtalk.com/topic/vps-ip-ffff#post-389 Mon, 26 Jul 2010 19:42:01 +0000 a2787382 389@http://www.lowendtalk.com/ not working god damn it....... in phpinfo(): REMOTE_ADDR ::ffff:94.XX.XXX.XXX kprice on "How much money do these low end VPS providers make?" http://www.lowendtalk.com/topic/how-much-money-do-these-low-end-vps-providers-make#post-388 Mon, 26 Jul 2010 19:39:22 +0000 kprice 388@http://www.lowendtalk.com/ I have a 2Host VPS with 1.5GB RAM.

In the same why turning off unneeded services helps. You only need IPV6 if you're directly connected to, or routing for, an IPV6 network. If you don't know if you are, then you're not. By turning it off, you eliminate the need to worry about things like setting up and maintaining IPV6 firewalling, which is separate from IPV4. kprice on "vps ip ::ffff:" http://www.lowendtalk.com/topic/vps-ip-ffff#post-386 Mon, 26 Jul 2010 19:30:56 +0000 kprice 386@http://www.lowendtalk.com/ :-P Sorry about the misunderstanding! Haha. Earl gave the correct answer about editing the aliases.conf file. If that didn't work, you can also blacklist the ipv6 module: echo "ipv6" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist Don't forget to reboot after the changes. Once rebooted, you shouldn't see any IPV6 addresses when you type "ip addr show".
