How often is IPsec used in IPV4 networks?

Question

If I disable it on my computer will I lose anything?

IPSec is used to establish a virtual private network (VPN). If you don't use any VPNs, I doubt disabling it will hurt anything.

IPsec is only available for use with IPv6. IPv4 doesn't even recognize that it exists. – Deoetpatria Aug 17 '11 at 9:51

Unless you (or someone administrating your computer) have configured IPSec to communicate securely with other hosts, disabling it won't hurt.
