Does that means that I'm an exit node if somebody connects to me through IPv6?

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 disableany exit traffic for exit relay, seeExitPolicy description
  • ClientUseIPv6 0 - it will prohibit Torclient functionality that serves your requests through Tor network to use IPv6. Docs arehere
  • PreferIPv6Automap Off - it will prohibit in hosts auto-mapping(via AutomapHostsOnResolve) functionality to use IPv6, docs arehere
  • In yourSocksPort directives make sureno IPv6 is explicitly enabled/preferred, IPv4 is the default for SOCKS proxy Tor backend
  • setClientPreferIPv6DirPort 0 andClientPreferIPv6ORPort 0 - it will disable an IPv6 preference for ORPort and DirPort connections
  • IPv6Exit 0 to disable using your exit as IPv6 one
  • in ORPort flags addIPv4Only

and right - you usereject for IPv4 andreject6 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 reject6: instead, right?CommentedFeb 11, 2017 at 2:27

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

    @MichaelHampton you're asking in such a provocative way, like if I owe you to run it...CommentedFeb 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.CommentedFeb 11, 2017 at 17:06
