[tor-bugs] #19990 [Core Tor/Tor]: EntryNodes is incompatible with IPv6-only bootstrap
#19990: EntryNodes is incompatible with IPv6-only bootstrap
------------------------------+--------------------------------
Reporter: teor | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: Medium | Milestone: Tor: 0.2.???
Component: Core Tor/Tor | Version: Tor: 0.2.8.1-alpha
Severity: Normal | Keywords: ipv6
Actual Points: | Parent ID:
Points: 2 | Reviewer:

------------------------------+--------------------------------
When UseMicrodescriptors is 1, tor clients which bootstrap over IPv6 have
to get descriptors from the fallback directories, because there are no
IPv6 addresses in the microdescriptor consensus.
When EntryNodes is set, it excludes all the fallback directories, meaning
that IPv6 clients can't bootstrap.
This can be tested with:
{{{
src/or/tor DataDirectory /tmp/tor.$$ SOCKSPort 0 EntryNodes x
ClientUseIPv4 0
}}}
