Hello E,

May I ask for your reason, why are you trying to explicitly block IPv6
in year 2021? Unless you have public IPv6 route, your system should work
just fine with any AAAA requests they make.

src/dnsmasq -d --port 2053 --conf-file=/dev/null --log-queries
--address=/./::

This seems to do what you wanted, it is recent code from dnsmasq. But my
question remains. What is a problem with IPv6 if you just do not have
IPv6 connectivity? Any programs or systems needing this tuning need to
fix themselves, not by dnsmasq.

Regards,
Petr
