Tool considerations

[BillDietrich]

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 ?

1. It actual route UDP traffic also, see https://github.com/Edu4rdSHL/tor-router/blob/master/files/tor-router#L28
2. It only route ipv4 traffic, I've added the note to the README and I'll add support for IPv6 also.

Thank you.

Thats only DNS, he is asking about other udp packets some programs use...

You should also consider using the tor control port to read current config and/or change it, instead of altering the torrc file...
I for one have a very different config file setup that includes file-pieces i can enable/disable by renaming...

But i got to admit this is a nice idea that i stumbled upon while searching for quick info how to use tor as a IPv6 gateway for IPv4 only hosts (We don't have IPv6 here) 😉

I misread, sorry. TOR actually doesn't support UDP packets as @BillDietrich said: https://2019.www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#TransportIPnotTCP and that can't be implemented, I just route UDP DNS requests.

I will consider that of course. All opinions are welcome.

I think it's important to note that in the README, especially since Google is pushing UDP access to web sites with the HTTP/3 protocol: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP/3
