IPv6 localhost. How to disable?

Hello I disabled an IPv6 from Grub (/etc/default/grub) with
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="ipv6.disable=1 quiet splash"
but I still get an an IPv6 address when running a command
Code: [Select]
$ host localhost
localhost has address 127.0.0.1
localhost has IPv6 address ::1
Host localhost not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
and
Code: [Select]
$ getent host *username*
::1             *username*
Anyone knows why and how to disable an IPv6 address on a localhost?

Did you regenerate the grub.cfg after making your edit ?
Code: [Select]
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

1. What's your init? Is it OpenRC?
2. What's your resolver?
1. OpenRc
2. How do I check it? I use portmaster where I can change my DNS provider.
