- That's a great idea! There are two aspects for IPv6 support that Tor needs.
- First, Tor needs to support exit to hosts that only have IPv6 addresses.
- Second, Tor needs to support Tor relays that only have IPv6 addresses.
- </p>
- <p>
- The first is far easier: the protocol changes are relatively simple and
- isolated. It would be like another kind of exit policy.
- </p>
- <p>
- The second is a little harder: right now, we assume that (mostly) every
- Tor relay can connect to every other. This has problems of its own, and
- adding IPv6-address-only relays adds problems too: it means that only
- relays with IPv6 abilities can connect to IPv6-address-only relays. This
- makes it possible for the attacker to make some inferences about client
- paths that it would not be able to make otherwise.

- There is an <a
- href="https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/blob/HEAD:/doc/spec/proposals/117-ipv6-exits.txt">
- IPv6 exit proposal</a> to address the first step for anonymous access to
- IPv6 resources on the Internet.
- </p>
- <p>
- Full IPv6 support is definitely on our "someday" list; it will come along
- faster if somebody who wants it does some of the work.
