Why wouldn't you be able to disable IPv4 in the router ?
Also, isn't trying to run both IPv4 and IPv6 inherently a security issue coming from the complexity of dealing with two overlapping networks with very different logic ?

- crote 3y agoIt depends on your ISP, but providers are slowly switching to IPv6-only connections to their customers. The customer's router converts v4 to v6, and a translator at the ISP converts back to v4. If you do the 4-to-6 translation on your own machine, your local router doesn't need to know about v4 at all. This is already happening with mobile networks.
