Nyx: empty exit policy if ipv6 address is not surrounded by [..]

./run_nyx

gives an empty

	exit policy:

line in that case. Example for a wrong line:

ExitPolicy reject6 <snip>/32

Good is

	ExitPolicy reject6 [<snip>]/32

Tested with latest stem and nyx Git trees.

Hi toralf. As mentioned on the list I need an actual torrc entry that reproes this. Doesn't need to be yours, just something that reproduces the problem. I just tried...

reject6 [fe80:0000:0000:0000:0202:b3ff:fe1e:8329]:90

... which tor accepts, but dropping the brackets...

reject6 fe80:0000:0000:0000:0202:b3ff:fe1e:8329:90

... or omitting the port...

reject6 fe80:0000:0000:0000:0202:b3ff:fe1e:8329

... gets rejected. So I need to see what a valid IPv6 exit policy rule without brackets looks like.

The real-world example:

mr-fox nyx # cat /etc/tor/torrc.d/30_reject
ExitPolicy reject  194.9.149.49/24

# works
#
ExitPolicy reject6 [2a04:1447:4:3::74]/32

# does not work
#
#ExitPolicy reject6 2a04:1447:4:3::74/32

Perfect, thanks toralf! Bug reproed.

There! Finally got some time to dig in. Story here is that Stem added ExitPolicy support in 2013 at which point the only game was parsing the torrc's myriad of options (ExitPolicy, ExitPolicy6, ExitPolicyRejectPrivate, etc).

Iirc I spoke with teor about this in 2014 and he graciously added new GETINFO options to get the user's effective exit policy. I didn't take advantage of it at the time, but enough years have now passed that we can safely assume folks have it.

Stem now uses tor's new (more reliable) method of getting the exit policy...

Pre-2014 tor versions will no longer show the exit policy in Nyx but I think that's ok. Your torrc should now work. :)

Thanks again for reporting this!
