Linux configuration: prefer IPv4 over IPv6
Problematic
Some applications are not working correctly when IPv6 is the default mode. For instance that's the case of apt-get :(
Change settings for apt-get only
Create a new config file for APT:
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99force-ipv4
Add the follwing option:
Acquire::ForceIPv4 true;
That's all. You can now use apt-get with IPv4 only.
Change default priority
Network priority is set globally in the /etc/gai.conf file.
Edit configuration file
vim /etc/gai.confUncomment the following line (~54) and comment everything else:
precedence ::ffff:0:0/96 100That's all ! :) Now you rather use IPv4 than IPv6.
