Question
Private network disable
Hey so i wanted to enable IPV6 and for some reason my brain went on to click on private network…
I’ve been looking for a way to access this file /etc/network/interfaces so that I can follow the instructions i found on how to delete eth1. The problem here is that nano /etc/network/interfaces doesnt work.. I have no idea how to get to the file i need.
This is what i’m trying to follow
In order to disable private networking from the command line, you need to edit the file /etc/network/interfaces It will look something like this:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your
# system and how to activate them. For more information, see
# interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
auto eth1 eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 95.85.37.158
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 95.85.37.1
dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
<^>iface eth1 inet static
address 10.129.176.173
netmask 255.255.0.0<^>
eth0 is the public interface, while eth1 is the private interface. Remove the sections about eth1 (highlighted above), and restart your droplet:
sudo shutdown -r now
