   Hello Tony,   
      
   On Sunday October 27 2019 08:52, you wrote to me:

   French provider Free has removed the option to disable IPv6 in the last update   
   of their Freebox. Everyone Dual Stack, no exceptions.  :)

   Bad. Hopefully they change their mind and correct it in the next update of the   
   router software?   
      
   Cheers, Michiel
