Hello Tor community!

I have some identical new relays, but only one of them has a problem.
My intention was an IPv6 problem, so there ist IPV6 diabled at all.

Fingerprint:
3F1AE2170CAD31B5694BD9052A2A29E5793BDC1F
IP:  107.189.14.123

Ports open: 22, 80, 9001

Test from outside by scanner: ok
UFW firewall open ports set to: 22, 80, 9001

torrc: No IPv6 configuration enabled.

The same configuration about all relays.

With Nyx I can see built circuits, but the relay does not appear in the 
metrics, but other relays already show strong traffic.

Debian system updates are possible, the HTTP frontpage is displayed at 
the given IP address, DNS 'unbound' ok because updates are possible.
Unbound is set to 127.0.0.1 only.


Here some logs from Nyx (copy like displayed):

  11:18:41 [INFO] find_my_address(): Unable to find our IP address.

  11:18:41 [INFO] address_can_be_used(): Address '::1' is a private IP

  11:18:39 [INFO] update_consensus_router_descriptor_downloads(): 0 
router descriptors downloadable. 0 delayed; 6795 present (0 of those 
were in old_routers); 0 would_reject; 0 wouldnt_use; 0 in
    progress.


I can not find what is wrong, but I see "::" what is IPv6.
In Debian /etc/sysctl.conf IPv6 is disabled.

net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1


Can you help me? Please check the IP in the consensus. Blocked?

Olaf
