IPv6

Does GTRU have any plans to implement IPv6 in the near future?
According to GTRU's policies, only one user may connect from a specific IP address, which, for most users, seems reasonable. Two different users on the same home ISP connection doesn't really make sense, however, I am considering colocating a server with some friends, mostly so we can torrent from it. Although we are 'friends' in the sense that we trust each other enough to contribute money to pay for this, sharing a single GTRU account leads to privacy issues; the FAQ mentions that boyfriends should be able to share what porn they watch with each other, but quite clearly we are not all boyfriends and that ideology isn't applicable to this situation. Even without the privacy issues, if we were to share an account, we would have to collectivize our ratio requirements; if one of our group members were to go on a downloading spree and then delete their torrents from the server as soon as it was done, it clearly would affect the ratio for us all, which really isn't fair and undermines the ratio requirement system.
We are seeking an IPv4 /29, so that we could each have our own IP, however, we plan on attempting to get more people to contribute to the pool to reduce our individual costs; thus, if we were to have more than 6 users, someone would have to share an IP, and if they happened to also use GTRU, under the current policy, they would be banned.
That said, we are also able to obtain an IPv6 /48, which would allow us all to have a seperate IP for each user (unless we were going to fit millions of users on a single server!), even if they are on the same physical machine, by simply assigning multiple addresses to the same interface and binding the torrent client run by each user to that address. This would solve both the privacy and ratio tracking issues.
There are free IPv6 tunnel providers if native support isn't available from your providers, and setting them up is pretty straightforward (and I'd be willing to help out if our admins aren't so versed in it). Even with the rather specific rationale I've provided, all of the IPv4 address space has been allocated to the RIRs from the IANA, and eventually IPv6 will be a requirement rather than an option for websites, lest they want to fade into obscurity. It seems like prime time for GTRU to get onboard the train to the future now while the fare is cheap, rather than wait until the last minute when there is no other option.

I can not answer for the IPv6, but:
Our tracker backend does accept a limited amount of multiple connections from the same IP. So it is possible to leech and seed
- using a proxy server / VPN service like GT Guard (see the link next to the "Download" button the torrent description pages")
- using a shared Seed Box
However it is not possible to use a proxy Server / VPN service to login to GayTorrent.ru.
This was said quite some time ago in the depths of the Forum by another moderator.

@Uwe:

Maybe that was true at one time, but not now.
All that happens is the users will get an IP warning symbol and that's all, login and everything else works fine and is possible with no other system warnings.
Several people here use the same VPN as me, and I looked up other VPN users here too, with no apparent problems.
The important part might be whether the system sees the server farnhamj07 sets up use as 1 computer or different and different server accounts for each user.
It will trigger a system warning if it appears multiple people are torrenting the same computer.If that helps, sorta, in some sort of way farnhamj07. You and your friends won't immediately get banned if you happen to trigger the dupe account checker.
You'll get a warning PM stating that you should delete the other accounts and use the reactivation script (links included), however, we can remove the warnings and fix the accounts.
I'll note your profile if you want to give it a try. -
normally they shouldn't get any system warning about "duplicate accounts", just a red symbol will show up …
