// Pref : Disable IPv6
// * IPv6 can be abused, especially with MAC addresses, and they do not play nice with VPNs. That's even assuming your ISP and/or router and/or website can handle it. Sites will fall back to IPv4
// IPv6 can be abused, especially with MAC addresses, and can leak with VPNs. That's even
// assuming your ISP and/or router and/or website can handle it. Sites will fall back to IPv4
// [STATS] Firefox telemetry (Dec 2020) shows ~8% of all connections are IPv6
// [NOTE] This is just an application level fallback. Disabling IPv6 is best done at an OS/network level, and/or configured properly in VPN setups. If you are not masking your IP, then this won't make much difference. If you are masking your IP, then it can only help.
// [NOTE] PHP defaults to IPv6 with "localhost". Use "php -S 127.0.0.1:PORT"
