Hi folks, to support World IPv6 Day I intend to limit torstatus.blutmagie.de connectivity to IPv6 on Wednesday next week. My plan is to remove the IPv4 A record from dns for 24h, leaving the AAAA record behind. The machine will keep its IPv4 address and the Apache web server remains bound to the IPv4 interface. I think this will do the trick. People who really rely on the Tor network status site might use their local hosts file for IPv4 address resolving.
Missing IPv4 probably will break tons of bots accessing the php main page, ip_list_exit.php, and ip_list_all.php from all kind of profit organizations (companies), law enforcement, governments, and military domains. I don't care about that. torstatus.blutmagie.de is working v4/v6 dual stacked without any known problems for six months. I'm aware that the site will be unreachable from the Tor network as a collateral damage. Are there any reasons this undertaking might be a bad idea? regards Olaf http://www.worldipv6day.org/ torstatus:~# dig @8.8.8.8 torstatus.blutmagie.de AAAA +short 2a02:3010:100:1::1:2483 _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
