Thank you. -
That's just localhost. It's not doing anything if you have IPv6 disabled.

@stephenw10 Thank you for your time. I knew that. My question remains. I would like an explanation for why it is listed.
-
You can remove it if you really want by setting 'DNS Resolution Behavior' to Use Remote, Ignore Local in System > General Setup.
-
@stephenw10 Can't. Because I am using DNS Query Forwarding woith SSL/TLSS to quad9 in DNS resolver mode. Not forwarder.
-
Then don't worry about it!
-
@marchand-guy you can remove it by setting to use remote and then just putting in local host 127.0.0.1
I know have been over this before.
-
Ha I was looking for that.
-
@stephenw10 yeah took me a bit, searched for ::1 remote

@johnpoz Ok, thank you. So to avoid any possible side effects by doing some exotic settings mentionned in your post, I decided to follow the "ocd monkey gone with simple click" suggestion.
Thank you all.
