I’m trying to optimize my setup to deal with YouTube’s recent anti-adblock measures, and I heard that transitioning everything over to ‘IPV6’ is much better. It’s a completely different type of internet protocol that the ad servers can’t track as easily.

My question is twofold: First, is there actual validity to the claim that this IPV6 system handles data packets in a way that inherently disrupts YouTube’s advertising scripts? And second, how exactly does a layman go about activating this? Do I need to contact my Internet Service Provider to have them upgrade my line, or is this something I can manually configure within Windows control panel?

    Often there’s an option in the modem for ipv6 and it’s usually already activated anyway. Shouldn’t matter for adblocking though. But what’s YouTube doing? I didn’t notice any anti-adblocking stuff going on recently
