"Configure IPv4" set to Off doesn't fully disable IPv4 address usage Hello Everyone, I'm trying to configure Mac's WiFi network to use only IPv6 address, but even when I set the "Configure IPv4" setting to Off in WiFi Settings > TCP/IP, I still receive an IPv4 address on MacOS Ventura 13.6. My setup is as following: HOST: MacBook running Ventura 13.6 Internet received via USB 10/100/1000 LAN interface WiFi shared via IPv6 DNS64/NAT64 network created following the Apple Developer guide - Test for IPv6 DNS64/NAT64 Compatibility Regularly ("Create NAT64 Network" enabled in System Settings > General > Internet sharing > WiFi) CLIENT: Another MacBook running Ventura 13.6 WiFi interface only enabled and connected to the HOST's WiFi network "Configure IPv4" set to Off of that network (SSID > TCP/IP > ) "Configure IPv6" set to Automatically Is there a way I can fully disable the IPv4? If I set the "Configure IPv6" to Manually, I get an IPv6 on the second screen, but I have no internet connectivity. Whereas in the first can, I do. Thanks!

Safari, IPv6, URL Support I'm trying to start the implementation of IPv6 on my LAN, but man is it difficult. I have my router set up to receive an IPv6 address from my ISP (StarLink) and it is getting an assigned address. On my MacBook I can go to network settings and see an IPv6 address, and it lists the IPv6 address of the router as well. But, I should be able to reach the router using Safari and an IPv6 URL...but nope. For example, to access the router listed in the network config I should be able to do something like.... http://[fe80::abc4:b7ff:fe94:abc4]/ Which is supposed to be a valid IPv6 URL (I've changed the hex values). But Safari times out. So does Chrome. Any ideas?

It would depend on your VPN connection type. For example, there are two basic type: split-tunnel or full tunnel. In the former, you can send traffic to both the tunnel and to your local network. With the latter all traffic will go through the tunnel.
