 i get through dhcp on eth0. Well tor applications can only bind by IP not
 by interface. i cannot find howto bind programm to this temporary
 addresses without changing default routes. Is there some type of network
 interface or "pseudo" adresses to use as aliases? like, bind process to
 FC::2 and route this through => scope global temporary dynamic

 IPv6 ?

 tor doesn't support OutboundBindAddress to interfaces.

 But you should be able to configure the default route at an OS level, and
 tor will use that for outbound connections.
