I am using VPN provider Hide.me and I don't want to use IPV6 meaning I have that disabled in the settings of my router. I was told to add to the config:
pull-filter ignore "ifconfig-ipv6"
pull-filter ignore "route-ipv6"
However when I connect to my VPN in the log i'm noticing:
May 7 18:29:19 ovpn-client1[361]: PUSH: Received control message: 'PUSH_REPLY,topology subnet,ping 15,ping-restart 60,explicit-exit-notify,tun-ipv6,sndbuf 16777216,rcvbuf 16777216,route-gateway 10.129.246.1,redirect-gateway,dhcp-option DNS 10.129.246.1,dhcp-renew,dhcp-release,register-dns,block-outside-dns,redirect-gateway ipv6,dhcp-option DNS6 fd00:6968:6564:fb::1,ifconfig-ipv6 fd00:6968:6564:fb::a81:f65c/64 fd00:6968:6564:fb::1,ifconfig 10.129.246.92 255.255.254.0,peer-id 3,cipher AES-256-GCM'
Then the log produces:

May 7 18:29:19 ovpn-client1[361]: NOTE: Pulled options changed on restart, will need to close and reopen TUN/TAP device.
I now added these options:::
pull-filter ignore "register-dns"
pull-filter ignore "dhcp-renew"
pull-filter ignore "dhcp-release"
pull-filter ignore "block-outside-dns"
pull-filter ignore 'redirect-gateway ipv6'
pull-filter ignore 'tun-ipv6'
I want to have advice.. Is that ok to add these options ^^ Or is there another way to totally disable IPV6... I am having an issue that eventually the server stops working and VPNmon resets the connection. I am hoping that these new options :
pull-filter ignore "register-dns"
pull-filter ignore "dhcp-renew"
pull-filter ignore "dhcp-release"
pull-filter ignore "block-outside-dns"
pull-filter ignore 'redirect-gateway ipv6'
pull-filter ignore 'tun-ipv6'
will fix this problem: I notice that now the log shows this instead of Unrecognized option or missing or extra parameter(s):

I just don't know if this is masking a problem or the right approach to actually fully disable IPV6. Thanks.
