I haven't done it on the Pinephone yet, but on all my other Linux systems I've disabled IPv6 in the kernel. In /etc/default/grub you should find a line similar to the following though it may have other options:

Code:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

Add ipv6.disable=1 to that line:

Code:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash ipv6.disable=1"

Run sudo update-grub, reboot, and no more IPv6. I have not found a need for IPv6 to be active on my router or any of my desktop or laptop computers but don't know if it would affect cellular data on the phone. (I don't use cellular data so that doesn't affect me.)
