We should create a flag representing the presence of an IPv6 addresses in the full consensus. (The microdesc consensus doesn't have IPv6 addresses, so it is no good here, see #20916). > A flag from the directory authorities would solve this issue (assuming Onionoo would then pass it through to Atlas). One solution to #20916 does involve adding a (No)IPv6 address flag to the microdesc consensus. But we might end up adding IPv6 addresses instead, because that makes bootstrap easier. In the meantime, OnionOO can check for the presence of an IPv6 address in the full consensus. > > > Additionally, IPv6 addresses are already shown under the OR Addresses field.

We can fix that. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/10401#comment:8> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
