It seems indeed there is something wrong with OVH support of IPv6. I
tried few times to test IPv6 on https://bridges.torproject.org/scan/
and just by the time of writing this email, I got both positive and
negative results. It is very random because I'm seeing IPv6 connections
in nyx.

The IP 2001:41d0:fecf:8900:5ee2:8cff:fe99:f106 corresponds to the router
provided by OVH (it is a very crappy one a Zyxel VMG8823-B50B where the
interface is so buggy). I'll contact them to solve this issue.

In the mean time, I'll remove IPv6 from torrc.

Thank you all for your answers!
Cheers,
