You can restrict the probe to connect only on IPv4 if you want by 
checking the box in the network settings for IPv4:
https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/22583/#tab-network

This will make sure the probe only connects to our infrastructure using 
IPv4 but the probe will still be available for IPv6 measurements.

Hope this helps,
