To + enable it as an exit node, make sure that you have IPv6 + connectivity, set the IPv6Exit flag to 1. Also make sure your + exit policy reads as you would like: the address * applies to + all address families, whereas *4 is IPv4 address only, and *6 + is IPv6 addresses only. On the client side, you'll need to + wait till the authorities have upgraded, wait for enough exits + to support IPv6, apply the "IPv6Traffic" flag to a SocksPort, + and use Socks5. Closes ticket 5547, implements proposal 117 as + revised in proposal 208. + + We DO NOT recommend that clients with actual anonymity needs + start using IPv6 over Tor yet: not enough exits support it + yet, and there are some DNS-caching related issues that need + to be solved first. + -- cgit v1.2.3
