When I wrote that "using IPv6 is not rocket science" I meant this as a general comment related to the "oh, I'll just stick with IPv4 and hope for the best" attitude that many ISPs and users still show. I am aware that in a Tor context, reaching a critical mass of IPv6 capable nodes in order to provide a large enough pool to ensure anonymity is not trivial. I meant to say that if the Tor authors need more IPv6 participants, I am happy to help. > Tor is IPv6 capable, and has been for years. My nodes appear to see precious little IPv6 based traffic, though. > Do you advertise an IPv6 ORPort on your relays and bridges? Yes. Netstat shows that Tor binds to both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. > Do you set IPv6Exit on your exits? $ grep -i IPv6 torrc ClientUseIPv6 1 ClientPreferIPv6DirPort 1 ClientPreferIPv6ORPort 1 IPv6Exit 1 Not sure if there is anything else I can use to signal that I support and prefer IPv6 via Tor settings? -Ralph _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
