Explicit IPv6 address in relay config
From https://community.torproject.org/relay/setup/post-install/:
> make your Tor relay reachable via IPv6 by adding an additional ORPort line to your configuration (example for ORPort 9001):
ORPort [IPv6-address]:9001
> Note: You have to explicitly specify your IPv6 address in square brackets, you can not tell tor to bind to any IPv6 (like you do for IPv4).
However, tor server seems to be working fine without an explicit IPv6 address. If torrc
contains
ORPort 443
The logs will produce:
> Opening OR listener on [::]:443
> Opened OR listener connection (ready)
on [::]:443
> …
> Self-testing indicates your ORPort [<My IPv6 addr>]:443 is reachable from the outside. Excellent. Publishing server descriptor.
Tor metrics show the relay as reachable over IPv6. So perhaps the Note above can be removed.
N.B. Other config options that might be relevant here: Address
, AddressDisableIPv6
