Question
How to disable IPv6 addresses on a Plesk server?
Answer
In order to disable IPv6, the following steps should be performed:
-
Go to Tools & Settings > IP Addresses > 2001:db8:f61:a1ff:0:0:0:80 > the Sites column. If there are sites hosted on IPv6, go to Domains > example.com > Web Hosting Access and set the field IPv6 address to None:
-
Log in to the server via SSH and add the following lines to
/etc/sysctl.conf:# grep ipv6 /etc/sysctl.conf
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1 -
Apply the settings from the
/etc/sysctl.confvia the following command:# sysctl -p
-
Remove IPv6 addresses from the Plesk
Note: It can be done either manually or by pressing the Reread IPs button in Tools & Settings > IP Addresses

IPv6 is not shown on "Web Hosting Access for domain.com". Only ipv4.
I can not delete the ipv6 from the server, because plesk says it is in use by "domain.com".
That means I can not remote the ipv6 from a domain.
