 Replying to [comment:1 teor]:
 > * tor can learn to connect over IPv4 and IPv6, and use whichever one
 works. We have an experimental "ClientAutoIPv6ORPort" option in our alpha
 versions. But we're not sure if it will trigger other bugs. (For example,
 the guard code stops using guards when there are too many failures.) It
 needs more testing.

 I am fine setting that in the alpha series if you think that would be
 helpful to shake out bugs on tor's side. What's the tor ticket
 implementing that option?
