Prefer ipv4 over ipv6
hi,
I want to set ipv4 to be preferred over ipv6, the other day i've used the tips from this Ping returns IPv6 Address, ping IPv4 in Command Prompt - TheITBros on my 2 windows10 computers and everything worked out great!
Now, i just did a win10 update and i noticed that that no longer works even by doing the very same "command" and it kinda gets ignored. Did they just remove the functionality?
This is what i get from netsh interface ipv6 show prefixpolicies (i don't get the longer list anymore but just these):
So it seems to be preferring ipv4, yet when i ping my site (available on both ipv4 and ipv6), i get output with ipv6, same as google.com - the other day it was working nicely to ipv4 and i only used these 2 commands they suggested:
netsh interface ipv6 set prefix ::/96 60 3
netsh interface ipv6 set prefix ::ffff:0:0/96 55 4
what's going on? I don't want to disable it completely (i know i can disable it from the router or from the network card properties, i just want to de-prioritise it)
[Version 10.0.19044.1387]
thank you,
Gabrio

might have answered myself, i've added
netsh interface ipv6 add prefixpolicy ::/0 40 1
and it did the trick... i wonder if it will stick now :)
