Re: [tor-relays] Relay Guide - IPv6 Connectivity Testing

Considering there are potential critical failures when the IPv6 ORPort is configured, should the relay guide suggest the operator confirm they have IPv6 connectivity to all of the IPv6-enabled directory authorities[2] before enabling it ("Please ping6/telnet/nc to these hosts before enabling this.")?

thanks for this suggestion, I hope you like the change:

It would also be nice if the relay, itself, performed self-checks of this connectivity and printed a warning log if some failure-threshold is reached (and possibly disabling the IPv6 ORPort). But, in reality, this is a hack

I wouldn't call it a 'hack', I'd consider it a reliability feature.
