The second IP is still in "Exit Addresses" with the new configuration ... Relay Search

torrc:

Address 209.141.39.157
OutboundBindAddress 209.141.39.157
ORPort 9001 IPv4Only

Thanks Marco.

First, I had to change my ORPort to 9001 with your proposed configuration because
using 443 caused an error => "Could not bind to 0.0.0.0:443: Address already in
use. Is Tor already running?"
Probably because my other Tor instance (hidden service) is using it.

Now I'm just waiting for the metrics to update to see if everything is as expected.

Finally, thanks for the help with IPv6 because I cannot get it to work. Somehow
when I try to check IPv6 availability ( Tor Project | Relay Post-install and good practices
), I get "ping6: connect: Network is unreachable". I don't have time to set it
up right now (I already spent hours last week) so I'll get back to you for that.

I don't understand that now either. I have at least 200 relays configured like
this. I don't understand that now either. I have at least 200 relays configured
like this with different IP's and subnets. I always set OutboundBindAddresses
for relays, bridges and HS.

Everything I can think of, it may take up to 24 hours for the 2nd IP to
disappear from tor metrics.
