This year I've modified most of my exit relays to function as IPv6 in/out. The process was easy with the exception of two [0], [1]. I requested and received an IPv6 address, netmask and gateway from these ISPs. I then modified my /etc/network/interfaces file as follows leaving the IPv4 lines in tack:
iface eth0 IPv6 static
address 2a06:1700:0:1b::
netmask 64
gateway 2a06:1700:0:1b::1
ip addr shows the IPv6 address as global. I added a single line to torrc following the IPv4 line:
ORPort 9001
ORPort [2a06:1700:0:1b::1]:9001
After a restart, both relays ramped up to a volume of connections where I was comfortable that the changes were good. Visiting them 12 hours later I find connections in the few hundred and no flags. About half of the connections were from non-Tor servers. The Tor daemon was running and had a PID. Logs showed the relay operational and nothing peculiar. Tor metrics shows the relay as down. I've commented out the IPv6 ORPort line to get both of these exits going again. The procedure I outlined has worked four other times for me. So what gives? Can anyone steer me toward the problem?
And, finally, a quick question: Does NYX display incoming and outgoing IPv6 relay information? I assume ARM does not.
