From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

i am having trouble with ipv6 in a specific program. (sf6 steam version)
completely disabling it has resolved my issues.

but this solution just doesn't sit well with me.

is there a way to only block that one problematic program from using ipv6?

You could just setup a separate namepace with IPv6 disabled and move the process into it. I'd be more detailed, but this comment is one eyed and very sleepy, let us know how you go.

Seconding this. Take a look at the unshare program and user namespaces.
