We should be able to announce to IPv4 server even if we want to connect only to IPv6 peers. I feel that two things are mixed up here. Listen/announce only from one temporary addresses, this would be nice for privacy to as, this is main purpose of temporary addresses.Īlso another issue is that if you setup qBittorrent to listen only on IPv6 addresses it will not be able to announce to tracker that is available only on IPv4.

Listen/announce only from not temporary addresses.Without much thinking, here is possible solutions I see: Also form the privacy aspect, announcing form every IPv6 gives very nice mapping between our main and all temporary addresses to whoever is listening, not nice. I know we can select specific address, but it is also suboptimal and default options should take this issue into account. And it makes literally no sense to announce from all of them, dosing tracker. For IPv6 you can have situation that you have like 10 temporary addresses (aka. While for IPv4 listing all addresses is reasonable. Temporary/Privacy IPv6 handlingĬurrently qBittorrent listens and announces from all IPv6 addresses. After enabling DHT it picked up some peers and worked fine. I tested with some IPv6 trackers and only listening on IPv6. BitTorrent will not connect to any IPv6 peers resulting in no transfer if IPv4 is not available I wanted to work on it last weekend, but didn't have time, so I figured to write it up so I don't forget.
