hello,
while attempting to set up IPv6 compatibility via Section 8 of Tor Project | Relay Post-install and good practices, I noticed an error:
Section 8 states the following: " The following command line will ping the IPv6 addresses of Tor directory authorities from your server:
ping6 -c2 2001:858:2:2:aabb:0:563b:1526 && ping6 -c2 2620:13:4000:6000::1000:118 && ping6 -c2 2001:67c:289c::9 && ping6 -c2 2001:678:558:1000::244 && ping6 -c2 2001:638:a000:4140::ffff:189 && echo OK.
when attempting this command on the machine that is running my relay, the command fails during the first ping6 -c2 2001:858:2:2:aabb:0:563b:1526.
I removed the that portion of the command and ping6 -c2 2620:13:4000:6000::1000:118 && ping6 -c2 2001:67c:289c::9 && ping6 -c2 2001:678:558:1000::244 && ping6 -c2 2001:638:a000:4140::ffff:189 && echo OK. outputs “OK.” with no issues.
just wanted to let you know that the Tor directory authority with IPv6 2001:858:2:2:aabb:0:563b:1526 seems to be down.
NOTE: I noticed January 2023 similar feedback, but that feedback seems to be for a different Tor directory authority (2607:8500:154::3), which now pings fine.
I hope that this helps. cheers
