Aleksandar, can you please explain for me what does a criptic line like "alias net-pf-10 off
" means "to disable ipv6" ?
" means "to disable ipv6" ?

This is the right way to do it.

It doesn't work on its own since as soon as first IPv6-capable daemon
(for example sshd) attempts to bind to the ports, the ipv6 kernel module
gets loaded and it will assign all interfaces default link local
addresses to all interfaces.
However, do note that apart from deleting ipv6.ko from the disk, there's
no good way to get rid of IPv6 for sure. Even with the both of the
above, if somebody/something does "modprobe ipv6", the module gets
loaded and it does its thing with link local addresses. Once it is
loaded it is next to impossible to unload it from the running system.
