Hello!
Thanks a lot for your explanation.
It was a kind of misunderstanding the subject (Please enable IPv6 on your relay!) and also the instructions, what was written on the wiki (IPv6RelayHowto).
In other words, for non-exit relays, there is no need to enable IPv6 at this time, only if you use it as a bridge and/or as an IPv6-only client.
No, that's not what I said. On non-exit relays, please enable the IPv6 ORPort. There's no need to enable an IPv6 DirPort.
Tim
Regards

Oh and since I'm bugging you anyways - would it be useful to add ORPort [IPv6] as well? (same port as for 4 i guess?)
Yes, I've done this already. There are only a few number of IPv6 Clients, but I guess it would be useful. Most of the time, there are the same. I don't know why?

That mailing list post was about an IPv6 ExitPolicy bug that we fixed in 0.2.7. This is how it works now on Tor Exits:
For IPv4 and IPv6: ExitPolicy reject *:80
For IPv6 only: ExitPolicy reject6 *:80
You cannot advertise the same DirPort on IPv4 and IPv6, but the ports could be the same.
No current tor version uses an IPv6 DirPort to connect to the network.
Relays always use IPv4 to connect to the tor network, and they use IPv4 DirPorts to bootstrap.
Clients gained the ability to use IPv6 ORPorts for bootstrap in 0.2.8, and we made client bootstrapping ORPort-only in the same release.
So, in 0.2.7 and earlier, IPv6-only clients can use:
- bridge IPv6 ORPorts by configuring a bridge with an IPv6 address.
And in 0.2.8 and later, IPv6-only clients can use:
- bridge IPv6 ORPorts by configuring a bridge with an IPv6 address, or
- authority, fallback directory, and relay IPv6 ORPorts by configuring:
ClientUseIPv4 0 UseMicrodescriptors 0
(IPv6-only clients can't bootstrap using microdescriptors yet, see: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/19608 )
This is experimental - being one of the rare IPv6-only clients on the network may harm your anonymity. (This is why you see the same few clients all the time.) But if your priority is local network censorship-evasion, then IPv6 might just work for you.
