Tribler version/branch+revision:

any

Operating system and version:

Windows 10 build 18894

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Ipv6 ds-lite

Expected behavior:

Upload works

Actual behavior:

SInce a few days a have Ipv6 from Ziggo.nl, they implement Ipv6 DS-lite in which I have an Ipv6 address but my Ipv4 address is one of theirs.
It looks like, that while I am downloading I seed to ipv4 addresses, but as soon as I am finished downloading and the file is anonymous I see no uploads at all.
Also I would expect to se Ipv6 address froom seeders and leechers, but I see none!
Is Tribler able to handle Ipv6 address? And why does the seeding seem to stop.
I know that my internal port 80 was Not reachable when I tested, because of the way Ziggo implemented Ipv6. I know for certain that if I would have gotten Ipv6-ds-full I would have had my own ipv4 address. Please advice.
Thanks

As soon as I make an entry none anonymous then the connections/peers start appearing and they go away when I turn anynomous to yes. Seems to me we have a problem with anonymous and tcpv6 in a ds-lite setup. In all cases no seeding is started.

@Nubro01 As of now, we do not have support for IPv6. We should start planning the support soon.
About anonymous seeding, it should be working, however, it is normal to see a low number of peers in anonymous mode. We'll look into it.

Today I disabled IPv4 and watched what happened. Thanks to the IPv6 DS-Lite of my provider I did see leechers IPv4 address making connections with anonymous torrents. As soon as I switch anonymous off these leecher addresses disappeared, not too return, until I made it anonymous again. an address which often appears is 1.1.1.1:1024 ???? The Tribler.org site is, as expected, not reachable with IPv6!
Since you are in a University, would it be an idea to assign somebody to this? IPv6 is more secure and about to happen and some articles regarding Tribler and IPv6 would be very interesting.

thank you for reporting that. Good to know IPv6 support is spotted in the wild.

The only remaining part of Tribler that does not support IPv6 is the anonymization. For that, a separate issue already exists #3202 Therefore, I'll close this issue (please refer to #3202 instead.
