    Tor already ignores private IPv4 addresses in directory headers. We propose
    to also ignore private IPv6 addresses in directory headers. If all IPv4 and
    IPv6 addresses in directory headers are private, address resolution should

    Whenever address resolution fails, tor should warn the operator to set the
    Address torrc option for IPv4 and IPv6. (If IPv4 is available, and only
