Comment (by adrelanos):

 The wiki page
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TransparentProxy as of
 version
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TransparentProxy?version=111
 is only using iptables. It does not cover IPv6 yet (then it would have to
 also use at minimum ip6tables). Therefore transparent proxying IPv6
 traffic won't work. Also it's only using IPv4 torrc options, nothing about
 IPv6. Due to that wiki page being outdated, in best case, it just won't
 work, in worst case, IPv6 leaks.

 nftables replaces iptables, ip6tables etc. While modernizing that page, it
 might be a great idea to port it to nftables.
