 Replying to [comment:4 teor]:
 > What happens when you don't set EntryNodes?
 I default to an IPv4 guard.

 > Some Tor developers have native IPv6 on their servers, and they can give
 shell + compiler access.

 I also have a lot of servers myself (home servers and VPS servers) so I am
 fine on my own for this patch.


 I will work on the changes needed.
