This month I applied for an internet broadband, this internet provider gives me a limit of 30Gb per month.. every month it will refresh even you dont consumed all the data, but it will cut off the internet if you consumed 30Gb within the month.

I installed a program called Glasswire in our computers, so I can monitor the data i consumed. We have 3 computers in our house connected in LAN

So my problem is Glasswire reads a networking in IPv6 with ip fe80:e50e:xxxx:xxxx it always consume not less than 3Gb per day

Same thing happen in windows service (svchost.exe) but this program only uses not greater 1gb per day..

Is this processes uses a download or upload in the internet? or its just a network process between computers in LAN?

Please Help, Thanks!

You should be able to safely turn off the ipv6 in the tcpip settings which will force it to use ipv4 only. Not sure how that program works. It is of little use if it does give you the actual remote ip addresses it is talking to. You should be able to look up the sites it is talking to with the ipv6 just like you do with ipv4

IPv6 is more than capable of being used externally if your ISP has it set up. The address space is large enough that EVERY computer, cell phone, router, and probably every little tiny network-enabled device can have a unique IP address.

svchost.exe is a Windows process that is used for a number of things, so it probably is downloading over the internet, though what proportion of that 1Gb/day is internal and what is external is up for debate.

IPv6 has enough address space to give every grain of sand on the planet its own IP address and still have plenty of space left for normal use.
