We partially do already. Some easy things to do: 0) read the FAQ, http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#IPv6. The key sentence being "Full IPv6 support is definitely on our "someday" list; it will come along faster if somebody who wants it does some of the work. " 1) search the Changelog for ipv6: Tor 0.2.1.5-alpha moves us closer to handling IPv6 destinations, puts IPv6 addresses. - Generate and accept IPv6 addresses in many protocol elements. - Make resolver code handle nameservers located at ipv6 addresses. - Try to fix Win32 compilation again: improve checking for IPv6 types. - Merge in some (as-yet-unused) IPv6 address manipulation code. - Detect and reject DNS replies containing IPv4 or IPv6 records with - Fix as-yet-unused reverse IPv6 lookup code so it sends nybbles and ipv6 support. One day Tor will make use of it. - Correctly detect ipv6 DNS capability on OpenBSD. useless IPv6 DNS resolves. 2) search the codebase for ipv6 yields a number of hits. 3) searching the proposals, yields "117-ipv6-exits.txt" 4) search google for "tor ipv6" yields more hits -- Andrew Lewman The Tor Project pgp 0x31B0974B Website: https://torproject.org/ Blog: https://blog.torproject.org/ Identi.ca: torproject
