Tor relay ipv6 through tunnel broker on OpenWrt

somebody tried to set up a tor relay ipv6 through a tunnel broker on router with openwrt??

It looks feasible:

Unfortunately, all the known instructions that I found on the Internet did not help.6in4 interface itself is configured.ping and tracing on router itself and clients go through.all test sites confirm ipv6 work but when i enter address [20a3::] in torrc config and start relay itself relay doesn’t confirm ipv6 work.
address in brackets is just an example.only works if I configure a separate interface on client machine. why it does not work through the router I can not understand.

Did you add default IPv6-route for outgoing connections?
It is essential to provide IPv6-connectivity for local system.
Test it from OpenWrt-router:

traceroute6 example.org

It looks like you have native IPv6-connectivity.
And default IPv6-route via your ISP-gateway has higher priority.
If you really want to route IPv6-traffic for local system via the tunnel broker:

seems to have managed to make it work.
added route6 and gateway for ipv6
and in sysctl.conf added net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding = 1
thanks for tips and help.
