    Hah! Joke’s on you. I accidentally restarted my PC and updated it without wanting to.

    “Compromises all devices running … an IPv6 address.”

    Oh so no one is effected. (other then network nerds, and they are not real)

      IPV6 is already rolled out in parts of the world. My provider has a Dual Stack lite architecture, the home connection is over IPV6, IPV4 is normally being tunneled via V6 through a provider grade NAT.

      As I AM a network nerd, I pay for a dedicated IPV4 address every month, so I can reach my stuff from outside from old IPV4 only networks.

      So when I plug in my router, connect a windows machine and just google stuff then all this traffic will be IPV6 without me configuring anything.

      It’s so great fun having the attack surface being doubled by dual stack setups.

      IPv6 is enabled by default on windows.

      EDIT Here’s how to disable it. If you can’t on your modem/router. Open the network menu from the icon in bottom right of screen > right click on the network you are connected to and click “status” > In the popup click on the “Properties” button > You’ll get another popup with the name of your network adapter in a top line/box and a secondary box with a list of things in it > Look for the entry “Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)” and uncheck the box in front of it > click OK.

      Unfortunately (or fortunately, it depends on how you see it), some providers are already on IPv6. My Italian ISP has IPv6 with CGNAT, so all its users are on IPv6 without even knowing what it is.

        Dang Italian network nerds! That will teach them for believing in a better tech future.

      Looking at the IP logs of the users on a website of mine shows that many people are already using IPv6 alongside IPv4. Some ISPs even don’t use IPv4 anymore unless you pay extra (Germany/Austria)

            Eh, they’re alright. They had to deal with more bullshit than I ever had to in high school.

            They had to deal with the daily threat that a school shooting could be their school. All I had to deal with was teenage girls having a war over who was hotter. Backstreet Boys, or N-Sync.

            Which to be fair, if you said the wrong one to a teenage girl in the 90s, she’d be likely to flip out on you. Still though, they wouldn’t pull a gun!

            I’m honestly surprised that the closest we ever got to a parody boy band was Justin Timberlake singing Dick in a Box with Lonely Island. Seems like SOMEBODY should have made a parody band! Weird Al can’t do EVERYTHING, ok???

              Zoomers are fine, just making fun of the concept of young people thinking Windows 3.1 couldn’t connect to the internet. America Online, bitch. A/S/L? Also Zi could type my friend’s phone # into Doom and it’d call his modem and we could play each other

              You can equate your highschool experience to a war between boy band favorites.

              Sounds like you had a good time in high school.

        I did that years ago, and they said basically “never”. Then a couple years later all of a sudden, there it was.

    To note: It shows even Windows Server 2008 as affected. Since MS is only testing against OSses they support, it is possible this has existed as a problem all the way back since IPv6 was first introduced to Windows XP.

    Also, for all of you “disable IPv6 because I don’t understand it” people… unless you are running Windows 8 or older, just update Windows. IPv4 has been out of addresses for so long that CGNAT is a thing, which means connectivity problems when you’re hosting stuff, and more latency and packet drops from ISP routers getting saturated with NAT tasks. IPv6 is alive on the internet since 2011 and very much used on the internet, does not tie up routers by requiring NAT translation, and therefore just performs better. Plus, if you use your network printer’s or network device’s link-local ipv6 to connect locally, you will never have to deal with static ip address or changing ipv4 lan address pain, as link-local (non-routable on the internet) addresses don’t change unless you force it.

    Also don’t use $35 routers for your internet. If your router does not support ipv6 firewalling, it is long since time to fix that with one that does.

        One restart post-update restarts changed it and helped, but something was still off. Took me like 30 minutes but it looks like my nvidia HDMI audio output got reset to a really low 16 bit sample rate. Got that set back to a decent 24 bit and its closer, but something is still off. I don’t think I had any settings/levels/enchanments.

          Sounds like windows changed your audio driver. I’d download the most recent audio driver available through nvidia, then uninstall your current audio driver in device manager and manually install nvidias.

    I tried to roll out ipv6 when I was sysadmin for a small ISP. ARIN gave me a /32 block with no fuss. I started handing them out only to discover most routers at the time couldn’t use them. Not much has changed. No one offers them and I just turned it off at my present job. None of my windows machine have the ipv6 stack enabled.
