    Larger address space. The main reason IPv6 was developed was to provide a solution for the eventual exhaustion of addresses in IPv4. Unlike its predecessor, IPv6 uses four times more bits to address devices on the internet. These extra bits provide an address space for approximately 3.4 x 10^ 38 devices.

    I was already aware of that, but SOME of the connections, seem to be COMPLETELY unnecessary !

    Hello Randall Blanchard,

    Take a look at this neat program called Glass Wire, it will give you the ability to block any connections you consider unnecessary.

    If you have a Mac you can use a program called Radio Silence.
