<div><div>Hi Nusenu/Valters,<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Thanks for the reply and links; what isn’t entirely clear is the following scenario. What if I provide IPv4 via NAT, and IPv6 for the relay, hiding the IPv4 address, possibly with the “NoAdvertise” on the IPv4 entries for those.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Reading the trac page I’m not sure whether this would work, as there will be no IPv4 inbound possible, only IPv4 outbound and IPv6 in and outbound.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Additionally would it benefit the tor service or is it then only “show”? Sorry but that’s not entirely clear from what I can find published (and googling away).</div>
<div><br></div>

<div>> Hi tor geniuses,<br></div>
<div>><br></div>
<div>> Having some bandwidth to spare, and "some" IPv6 addresses but no IPv4. I decided<br></div>
<div>> to setup an IPv6 only relay, and for diversity on OpenBSD, but I'm having<br></div>
<div>> trouble getting online.<br></div>
<div>> Is there any feasible way to do this as IPv6 only relay?<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Hello Stijn Jonker,<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>unfortunately IPv6 only relays are not supported. All relays require an IPv4 address.<br></div>
<div> In (a far) future IPv6 only relays might be feasible - once most of the relays<br></div>
<div>have IPv6 and relay-to-relay IPv6 connections are implemented.<br></div>
