Comment (by rl1987):

 Tor already responds toÂ`GETINFO address`, which outputs address retrieved
 from `router_pick_published_address()`, but this may not be an IP address
 of network interface used by Tor instance if it is running behind NAT.

 ShouldÂ`GETINFO address/ipv4`ÂandÂ`GETINFO address/ipv6`Âreturn address
 fromÂ`get_interface_address6()Â`withÂ`family`Âparameter beingÂ`AF_INET`
 andÂ`AF_INET6`Ârespectively? Should we leave implementation ofÂ`GETINFO
 address`Âas-is, in order to leave opportunity to retrieve published
 (guessed?) address available to controller?
