    IPv6


    What impact will it have (if any) on the Network, if one un-ticks IPv6 in W10 Network and Sharing on all adapters, including the VPN.

    Thanks.

    Hi.

    It all depends on how your internal network is setup - or that of your ISP.

    My suggestion is to default to IPv4 for now.

    Think of IPv6 as "Future Proofing" your investment. No rush.

    If you’re just a typical user with a home Internet connection and a home network, should you really care?
    Probably not.

    Hope this helps.

    In most cases ipv6 isnt used yet but some MS apps can be funny if its disabled leave it off as its just slowing the system down its simple to turn on if needed

    Agreed. There are also many issues with ISP's, Smart TV's and home Routers. Stay with IPv4.
