 According to the torrc man page:

 "Address: The IP address or fully qualified domain name of this server
 (e.g. moria.mit.edu)."

 In torrc, set the Address to an IPv6 address and port using standard
 notation:

 Address [1234:5678::01:1234]

 ----

 The tor server starts up, and doesn't appear to give any relevant
 warnings, but log output suggests tor is ignoring the address setting and
 guessing anyway.

 Apr 09 15:50:52.000 [notice] Guessed our IP address as 1.2.3.4 (source:
 5.6.7.8).

 This server is configured only with IPv6 settings for tor, and the goal is
 to have it ignore any IPv4 addresses present on the host, so this behavior
 is undesirable.
