 OS X 10.11.6, Tor Browser 7.5

 I have to configure TB to use a socks5 proxy to reach the internet (I
 predict this is unrelated). I disabled safe logging.

 Attempting to go to https://[2a00:1450:401b:800::200e]/ produces the
 following Tor logs.

 https://ipv6.google.com works with every 6th circuit. I'm sure this is
 unrelated and has to do with exits half supporing ipv6 or something.
