I'm wondering about the benefit of running abridge on an IPv6 address.
Since the big announcement last December that v0.2.3.9 supports IPv6 addresses
for bridges, I've read a few comments to the affect that BridgDB doesn't
understand IPv6 addresses.
So... what is the state of publishing IPv6 br

I'm getting my feet wet with IPv6 bridges, so far without success. I
set up a test bridge (0.2.3.22-rc) on one network and plugged the
address:port into Vidalia (TBB x86_64-2.2.39-1) on another.
The bridge config looks like this in part (local IPv4 address hidden):
Address aa.bb.cc.dd

This seems to work. The view from Vidalia's Message Log:

[Notice] Bridge 'Unnamed' has both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address.
the system has
booted to a command line prompt.
Inserting a 5-second delay in the Tor script run at boot time "fixes"
the problem, making boot-time start-up of the IPv6 bridge reliable.
FYI.

I have a bridge that gets no traffic. I don't mean "hardly any" traffic; I
mean none.
The contents of bridge-stats are always empty except for the date, which
advances once per day. In the state file the last date, apart from daily
accounting entries, is a EntryGuardAddedBy entry from 09 Sep

In the Tor v0.2.2.x series it was said that it was pointless to set
NumCPUs to a value greater than 2. Due to poor scaling, I guess.
Is that still the case with v0.2.3.24+ ? Would NumCPUs value of 4 or 8
(on systems with that many CPU cores) actually provide any benefit over
a value of 2?
I recent days I have gotten 3 complaints from people who report hack attempts
from my exit node, at 82.221.99.229. One problem: this IP address is not in
use by me and never has been.
The RDNS for this address is "tor-exit.burratino.net" and there is the standard

Yes, about 25% of all Tor nodes worldwide are in the US; Germany is in 2nd
place with 17%.

My experience with ServerAstra is that they will null-route your IP
address on reports of abuse. No notification to me, their customer.
This put me in the position on several occasions of noticing that my VPS
