[tor-relays] Can it be done? - IPv6 only Relay

Hi Nusenu/Valters,

Thanks for the reply and links; what isn’t entirely clear is the
following scenario. What if I provide IPv4 via NAT, and IPv6 for the
relay, hiding the IPv4 address, possibly with the “NoAdvertise” on the
IPv4 entries for those.
Reading the trac page I’m not sure whether this would work, as
there will be no IPv4 inbound possible, only IPv4 outbound and IPv6
in and outbound.
Additionally would it benefit the tor service or is it then only “show”?
Sorry but that’s not entirely clear from what I can find published (and
googling away).
Thx,
Stijn
