Reorganizing the list
The fight to be on top of the list on this page is disappointing. I think the page is already in need of reorganization; perhaps we can sort it by actual popularity. Suggestions? --Taras (talk) 00:58, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

Adding IPv6
Support for IPv6 is a very important transition, both for TOR, and for general internet connectivity.
- In Oct 2012, support for TOR clients connecting to relays as well as relays publishing IPv6 addresses and accepting clients connecting over IPv6 had been implemented.
- By Jan 2013, support for exiting to IPv6 destinations had been implemented.
Please see the [TOR on IPv6 roadmap] for additional details regarding TOR and IPv6.
Using IPv6-test.com, I've tested for accessibility to each provider's homepage via IPv6. The following is proposed for satisfying a yes listing critera:
- IPv6-test.com must report a valid AAAA record for provider's homepage.
- IPv6-test.com must be able to load the provider's homepage via IPv6.
