Re: [tor-relays] Draft Fallback Directory List



Hey!

I do have IPv6 available, but I hadn't taken the time to actually enable it. I will look into it one of the next days and when enabled, I'll let you know about the IPv6 address.

Kind regards,

Does ipv6 connectivity matter at all for the purposes of being a
fallback directory mirror? I can see of course it's not required, but
I'm not sure if an ipv6 address would be used at all (as a directory
mirror). That is, if I added a v6 addr to a relay in that list, would
that help anything, or not yet?

It helps clients configured to use dual-stack IPv6:
ClientPreferIPv6ORPort 1

And clients configured to use IPv6 only:
ClientUseIPv4 0
UseMicrodescriptors 0

But as they are manual configs, not many clients use them yet.
We want to make dual-stack easier (even automatic) on clients, but we
need more IPv6 relays to preserve client privacy.

I assume that adding a v6 address does not violate the "keep the same
address/port/key for the next 2 years" requirement. Is that correct?

Yes, but you need to keep *both* addresses for 2 years after you add
IPv6. Let me know, and I'll add the IPv6 address to the fallback list.
