I Have Been Hacked Through a V6 IP Tunnel: How Do I Get Out of It?

Internet Protocol Version 6 is a protocol for Internet connectivity. If your computer has been hacked through the IPV6, you can disrupt the connection by turning off the IPV6 and boosting your Windows Firewall sections. Hackers will not be able to get into your system after you turn off the incoming connections to your system. You don't have to be a network security expert to secure your home computer. You can do it yourself with just a few clicks of the mouse.

Instructions

1. Click the "Start" button and then right click on the "Network" icon. Click the "Properties" icon and then click the "Manage Network Connections" icon.

2. Uncheck the box next to the "IPV6" icon. Click the "OK" button to disable the IPV6 protocol on your computer. This will kick the hacker out of your computer.

3. Click the "Start" button and then click on the "Search" icon. Type "Windows Firewall" into the "Search" box. Click on the "Windows Firewall" icon from the window.

4. Click on the "Exceptions" icon from the Windows Firewall window. Click on the "Block All Incoming Connections" box and then click the "OK" button.

5. Go back to the "IPV6" network icon and re-enable it by checking the box next to it. The hacker will no longer be able to gain access to your system.
