Does that means that I'm an exit node if somebody connects to me through IPv6?
1 Answer
nope. tor uses both IPv4 and IPv6 if one of them is not prohibited explicitly
UPDATE:
To reject IPv6 on all levels add this to your torrc:
ExitPolicy reject6 *:*- it will disable any exit traffic for exit relay, see ExitPolicy descriptionClientUseIPv6 0- it will prohibit Tor client functionality that serves your requests through Tor network to use IPv6. Docs are herePreferIPv6Automap Off- it will prohibit in hosts auto-mapping(via AutomapHostsOnResolve) functionality to use IPv6, docs are here- In your SocksPort directives make sure no IPv6 is explicitly enabled/preferred, IPv4 is the default for SOCKS proxy Tor backend
- set
ClientPreferIPv6DirPort 0andClientPreferIPv6ORPort 0- it will disable an IPv6 preference for ORPort and DirPort connections IPv6Exit 0to disable using your exit as IPv6 one- in ORPort flags add IPv4Only
and right - you use reject for IPv4 and reject6 for IPv6

But if it is going to use IPv6 because there is no Exit Policy Summary defined, why do you say "nope" then? And how can I reject IPv6? I tried something with ExitPolicy reject6 : but I think I must use ExitPolicy reject 6: instead, right?– BinaryCommented Feb 11, 2017 at 2:27

@Binary Is your IPv6 broken, or are you trying to prevent some people from using Tor? Commented Feb 11, 2017 at 8:53

1@MichaelHampton you're asking in such a provocative way, like if I owe you to run it...– BinaryCommented Feb 11, 2017 at 13:05

@Binary You don't owe anybody to run Tor. But it seems strange to run it if you only want to block people from using it! So it's a little confusing. Commented Feb 11, 2017 at 17:06
