There are no globally designated "temporary" or "permanent" address ranges. Temporary addresses are created by the OS in the same /64 subnet received from the upstream router as other IPs. See https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4941 (There are the ULA and Link-local ranges, but those are unrelated to the temporary/permanent question). -- With respect, Roman _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
