Re: [tor-relays] Question about relay speed + quick question about IPV6



Alright, thank you!

I'm just wondering why I have only a few connections (14 inbound, 1 outbound) right now. But I guess that's because the relay lost its stable and fast flag due to server move and several restarts and now needs some time to reestablish?

Thank you! Two last questions, though (hope it's okay): Do I need to put ExitPolicy reject6 *:* in my torrc or is this covered by ExitPolicy reject *:*?
ExitPolicy reject *:* applies to both IPv4 and IPv6.
And your relay won't exit on IPv4 unless you set ExitRelay to 1, and won't exit on IPv6 unless you set IPv6Exit and ExitRelay to 1.

Also why do I always have 4 or 8 circuits open? At least that's what tor-arm shows me.
Because tor preemptively builds circuits for you to use when you need them.
When your relay publishes a descriptor, it will make more circuits as needed to relay client traffic.

Thanks for everybody's input. I decided to move the relay keys to the
new server but I'm not entirely sure if I start another slow (500KB/s)
one or just seed some Linux distros or do something else helpful.

Also I do have a question about IPv6:
If I read right I just have to add
ORPort [IPv6]:Port
DirPort [IPv6]:Port

You only need the ORPort, the IPv6 DirPort isn't needed any more.
(It was used by a few of the 0.2.8 alpha series, but removed before the
stable release.)


is this correct?
Can I specify the same ports I use for IPv4 (443 and 80)?

Yes, this should work on most OSs, if it doesn't, please file a bug.


Also since I have a couple of IPv6 available but a non-exit relay is it
still necessary to set OutboundBindAddress?

OutboundBindAddress can be used twice, once with an IPv4 address and once
with an IPv6 address. Outbound traffic on a non-exit relay is all IPv4,
and it will use the routing table if you don't use OutboundBindAddress.

Unless you have multiple IPv4 addresses, it won't make any difference.
