Available if desired.  Can configure IPv6
on the HE tunnel here if helpful.

Once clients start bootstrapping over IPv6[0], more IPv6 fallback directories and relays would be helpful.

But I don't know enough about IPv6 tunnels in general and Hurricane Electric in particular to know whether a tunnel is advisable for a tor relay.

I think if a client is just using it for bootstrap, any extra latency shouldn't be an issue.
But IPv6 clients may also pick it as a guard, so that should be taken into account.

Should we be running relays over IPv6 tunnels?
