Please add items to the README: UDP, and IPv6

BillDietrich opened this issue 5 years ago · comments

Please add items to the README:

1- Does this route UDP traffic also, or just TCP ? https://2019.www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#TransportIPnotTCP seems to say Tor doesn't do UDP.

2- Does this route IPv6 traffic also, or just IPv4 traffic ?

I also see that my IPv4 address is changed, but my IPv6 address is not changed.

Hello guys,

This issue is very interesting!

Currently, the Nipe code only supports ipv4, but I can think of how to do for ipv6 too!

On the other question, only traffic other than DNS requests for local/loopback addresses is not passed by Tor. All non-local UDP/ICMP traffic is blocked.

Thank you very much for your attention!

Thanks for the info. Just a reminder: the request was to add that info to the README file.
