I'm sure you've learned a great deal in the process of building Torpark.
 Have you ever documented why you've made these choices and explained
them to the or-talk lost or Tor Developers privately?

I think your contributions would be very valued if you only shared them
in a constructive manner. Your message comes across as smug and counter
productive. What are you trying to accomplish?

With that said, I think your setup is still vulnerable to ipv6 leaks. I
 think that an attacker would merely have to list an ipv6 address rather
than a name. Something along the lines of:

<img src="http://fe80::123:5667:fe6d:ab10/cookie.img">

If you think this to be incorrect, perhaps you could share why? Does
Firefox properly proxy ipv6 requests through Tor? Have you tested this?
How did you test it?
