How to Disable Ipv6.

I read the arch wiki, but I am confused because the instructions are for Grub bootloader, and I have a systemd bootloader. How do I disable Ipv6 as I am facing a weird issue when the screen goes to sleep or when I lock the screen, Ipv6 address is attached to the network and the connection is painstakingly slow with it.

You just add it to the options line.

Just add

ipv6.disable_ipv6=1

in the /boot/loader/loader.conf ?

Re: How to Disable Ipv6.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/IPv6#Disable_IPv6 doesn't mention grub, and includes a link to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_parameters which explains how to modify all well known bootloaders/managers.. Did you find some alternative instructions on the wiki?
