There is no Disabled option for method of IPv6

SUMMARY

KDE networkmanager does not have the option "Disabled" for IPv6.
But there is this option in Gnome networkmanager.
We need KDE networkmanager to add this option that disables IPv6.
Thanks! :)

Forum: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=169460


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open System Settings -> Connections -> select any entry -> IPv6 -> Method
2. Change the method "Automatic" to "Disabled" but it does not exist.
3. "Ignored" is not like "Disabled", because "Ignored" can not disable IPv6.

EXPECTED RESULT
We need KDE networmanager to add "Disabled" in method.

Did you test whether it works?
Test IP URL: https://whatismyipaddress.com 

I am waiting for the release of the current KDE Plasma.
Thank you! :)

I disabled IPv6 on one of my connections and I can see IPv6 address is not assigned so I assume it works.
Comment 4 Zesko 2021-01-05 11:37:41 UTC 
Okay
Thumbs up!

Comment 6 Zesko 2021-01-18 14:01:24 UTC 
This bugfix or feature is important for OpenVPN.
Because many famous VPN providers do not support IPv6 yet, they only offer IPv4.


Please merge and update asap. Thanks :)
