Since Debian 6 (squeeze) this is the working method to disable permanent IPv6 implementation. This method is also reboot safe.

cat /etc/sysctl.d/disable-ipv6.conf
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1

cat /etc/sysctl.d/disable-ipv6.conf net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1

If you have no possibility to restart your system yet, this change can be made immediately work by executing:

sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.d/disable-ipv6.conf

sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.d/disable-ipv6.conf

Anothe method – perfect for firewall scripts:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6
