no, here is the project for that:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/4565

general Tor IPv6 roadmap

Enabling IPv6 ORPorts makes sense even if relay-to-relay communication is
still limited to IPv4 since it makes guards more accessible for clients and
prepares for the next steps (and shows us better how many support it properly)

So yes, please enable IPv6 ORPorts and IPv6Exit if you can.

[tor-talk] IPv6 for relay-to-relay or client-to-relay communication?

2019-04-04 Thread Roman Mamedov
Hello,

Does Tor currently use IPv6 connections for relay-to-relay traffic?

I now got some IPv6 relays which access IPv4 via tunneling to a separate
router, so it would *really* benefit my setup if some of the Tor traffic would
move to going over IPv6 directly. However that doesn't seem to be the case at
the moment (or the share is way too low).

For client connections I see there's ClientUseIPv6 which is 0 by default, any
ETA on making it default to 1?

Also ClientPreferIPv6ORPort which bizarrely means "use IPv4" when set to auto.

I remember some time ago there was a drive for people to run more IPv6 relays
or to set up ORPort in their configs if they already do. But what is the point
if the current default settings basically mean IPv6 *won't* be used?
