Good.


| ClientUseIPv6 1

This configuration is only useful when applied on a client.

Not many clients connect over IPv6 yet. Relays never do, yet.

I don't know if 'arm' knows about IPv6.

There's no support for DirPort's on IPv6.

Seems correct.

Your IPv6 address should show up in Atlas [2], under "OR
Addresses". Does it?

Thanks for running a relay on IPv6!
