#6772: Fall back to alternative OR or Dir port if the current fails -------------------------------------------------+------------------------- Reporter: ln5 | Owner: (none) Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Medium | Milestone: Tor: | unspecified Component: Core Tor/Tor | Version: Severity: Normal | Resolution: Keywords: ipv6 tor-client tor-hs single-onion | Actual Points: robustness address-handling | Parent ID: #17835 | Points: 1 Reviewer: | Sponsor: | SponsorV-can -------------------------------------------------+------------------------- Changes (by teor):
* keywords: ipv6 tor-client robustness address-handling => ipv6 tor-client tor-hs single-onion robustness address-handling * priority: Low => Medium * points: => 1 * sponsor: => SponsorV-can * parent: #17811 => #17835 Comment: Existing client guard code already implements this feature by trying another guard if one fails. #24403 will make relays retry IPv4 and IPv6 when an EXTEND has both addresses. #17835 should do the same for client connections to entry nodes. (If a specific entry node is required (single onion services only?), we should choose an available address at random. If not, we should do what the existing guard code does, and choose another entry node at random - because we are more likely to succeed than a retry.) -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/6772#comment:9> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
