      Hi!

      In my system information block in the dashboard, I notice that ::1 is also defined next to 127.0.0.1.
      However, I do not have IPv6 active.

      I am quite confused by this. Since IPv6 was never active.
      How can I find this setting and deactivate it completely?

        @deleted this has been gone over a few times, ::1 is just the ipv6 loopback address - not going to matter if its listed.. But if you don't want it listed

        Here this is how you can make it go away

          Thanks for the information.
          So it's not as critical as expected.

          Thank you.

          Best,
