Comment (by neel):
My PR is here: https://github.com/torproject/tor/pull/317
I do know that there are other parts to #17835 and I will do them as
separate pull requests. Changes to individual tickets will (probably) be
done on the same PR as the original.
About testing:
I have tested this on a laptop running FreeBSD 12 connected to a router
running Tomato Shibby and a Hurricane Electric IPv6 tunnel on a IPv4-only
Verizon FiOS connection (FiOS is FTTH/GPON).
How I tested this: I used a custom torrc with `ClientPreferIPv6ORPort` to
`auto` and `EntryNodes` to an IPv6-capable guard. As this is only the
first step, there are times where I get IPv4 connections to the
IPv6-supported guard and other times where I get IPv6 connections to the
same guard.
I also set `EntryNodes` to an IPv4-only guard and get only IPv4
connections.
For the Tor developers reviewing this patch, you may or may not have IPv6
in your home or office to test this patch. If you don't, you could use
HE's IPv6 tunnel or a testing network.
