Android 10. Trying to disable ipv6 (yes, I know the second line below appears redundant). echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6 echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/wlan0/disable_ipv6 The values stay as long as I have wifi turned off: # cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/wlan0/disable_ipv6 1 But as soon as I turn wifi on, something changes (only) the wlan0 value back to 0: # cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/wlan0/disable_ipv6 0 If I change it back to 1 again, it gets changed back to 0 within a few seconds (and in Settings / About phone, I can actually see the ipv6 addresses return). Does anyone know what causes this (and how I can prevent it)?
