how do i convince Alpine Linux that it doesn't have IPv4 connectivity? when i run e.g. "ping bbc.co.uk", it picks the IPv4 address first, even though it doesn't have a default route.

i can't disable IPv4 because i need it for Wireguard.

i can't use /etc/gai.conf because musl libc doesn't support that.

this makes e.g. apk very slow because it waits for IPv4 to time out before it tries IPv6. i don't understand why it doesn't immediately get "no route to host" over IPv4...

any ideas?

#ipv6 #alpinelinux
