Comment (by teor):
Looking at the logs, tor appears to allow binding SOCKSPort to [::], but
it warns you this is unsafe.
`Mar 01 12:15:24.754 [warn] You specified a public address '[::]:9150' for
SocksPort. Other people on the Internet might find your computer and use
it as an open proxy. Please don't allow this unless you have a good
reason.`
Can you connect to the SOCKSPort on any of your IP addresses?
Again looking at the logs, while tor allows you to bind ORPort to [::], it
won't post a descriptor with [::] as the IPv6 address, because clients and
other relays need to know one of your actual IPv6 addresses to connect to
you.
`Mar 01 12:17:06.000 [warn] Unable to use configured IPv6 address "[::]"
in a descriptor. Skipping it. Try specifying a globally reachable address
explicitly.`
Try using an IPv6 address which can be reached on the Internet instead of
`::` in your `ORPort [::]:4343` configuration line.
