(In my other mail > thread, this would be one (net interface has native ipv6) or two > interfaces (ipv6-in-ipv4 tunnel)) I've added a specification to tor-spec.txt for how to do ipv6 _over_ Tor. This doesn't solve the how-to-have-ORs-with-no-IPv4-addr problem, but it should allow people to use Tor to connect to webservers (and other services, of course) with only ipv4 addrs. Once it's implemented. :) yrs, -- Nick Mathewson (PGP key will change on 15Aug2004; see http://wangafu.net/key.txt)
