I talked to a friend who works for my ISP and they are apparently getting ready to enable IPV6 by the end of the year. What can I do to preemptively block my personal network from ever using IPV6? I currently have a modem my ISP provided which is in bridge mode and my private router is connected to it. I currently have it set to "disabled", I previously had it set to block traffic but it was leaking my routers factory MAC address so I switched it back to disabled. http://i.imgur.com/wHnZhio.png I currently randomly generate my routers WAN MAC address every few weeks to force change my IP address. Can I continue to do that with IPV6? The settings in my router are incredibly confusing http://buffalo.jp/support_s/guide2/manual/wxr-1900dhp/99/en/mobile_main.html#internet-ipv6_1
It's likely that your ISP will enable IPv6 without disabling IPv4 stuff. So yes, you can probably just disable IPv6 in your router, and everything else will work as it did before.
To disable IPv6 from within Windows, run CMD as admin and enter: netsh int ipv6 isatap set state disabled netsh int teredo set state disabled netsh interface ipv6 6to4 set state state=disabled undoonstop=disabled reg add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters" /v "DisabledComponents" /t REG_DWORD /d "255" /f
I went a bit extra and also added block rules in WFwAS via WFC... Spoiler The Local and Remote empty fields is the equivalent of the value "Any". For example, any address, any port.
