socks proxy and IPv6 connections
by Marco Moock 28 Mar '25

Hello! I tried to use the socks5 proxy in applications like Pale Moon. I noticed that when using IPv6 only targets like http://[2600:1901:0:b2bd::]/ip, it doesn't connect all the time. I assume TOR itself chose a circuit that doesn't have an IPv6 capable exit. I also noticed that when the exit has IPv6 capability, it prefers IPv4 if a hostname is being used. This can also be checked with https://dorfdsl.de/ip.php I also checked that behavior with a local installed danted, it prefers IPv6 with that. If I query the IP in TOR metrics, I see that the exit is IPv6 capable. Is that cause by the socks client or by the TOR daemon itself? -- kind regards Marco Send unsolicited bulk mail to 1743102905muell(a)stinkedores.dorfdsl.de
