Re: [tor-relays] exit policy and IPv6

Thanks teor,

Your relay's IPv6 Exit policy is:
reject 1-65535
Which is the port summary for:
reject *6:*

IPv6 is now enabled on the exit relay and its exit policy updated.

I set the maximum open descriptors to 10,000 with

ulimit -n 10000

Are there any other system limits I should consider ?

Thanks nusenu,

The relay is configured with the exit reduced policy.
The ORPort is 443 and the DirPort is 80.

Since exit policy uses "*" as the IP address, IPv6 should be
allowed.

You need to set IPv6Exit 1 to exit via IPv6.
(The default is 0.)
https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en

If you want your relay to accept client connections via IPv6,
you also need to set:

ORPort [Your IPv6 Address]:Port

For example:

ORPort [2001:610:510:115:192:42:115:102]:9004

You need to add the IPv6 ORPort to your existing IPv4 ORPort,
which looks like:

Address 192.42.115.102
ORPort 192.42.115.102:9004

Does "nyx" does nyx deal with IPv6 ?
nyx is a relay monitor.
It will tell you if your relay uses IPv6.
But it doesn't configure your relay for you.

Possibly. But it's more likely a problem with your upnp or router connection limits.

Our experience is that upnp is unreliable. You're better to configure a port mapping
manually on your router.

Tor relays need about 7000 connections to work, more for exits. Many home routers
work badly when they have over 1000 connections.

I thought nyx was for more recent versions of TOR. I had been using ARM to monitor it.
nyx works with all supported versions of Tor (0.2.9 and later).

arm is no longer supported.
