Review IPV6 compatibility #1111

Closed massa-bot closed 2 years ago

In GitLab by @damip

Some people are reporting that Massa nodes are not accessible from IPV6.

Find where the problem lies and correct it.

Could the problem be related to the way routability are checked by MassaBot?

In GitLab by @damip

@mercury.planetes The nodes themselves seem to not be accessible from IPV6 at all. Probably a problem with the bind strings, because within the program, everything is IPV4/IPV6 agnostic

@sebf can you take a look at the massabot on IPV6 cases ?

In GitLab by @sebf

I would need a routable IPV6/nodepubkey to test

In GitLab by @damip

test done and bugs repaired: node + massabot now work with IPV6.

Still need to make sure the node bind on [::] functions on Mac and Windows as well.

Hey! I can check on mac - have one here. Hm... I also have windows hosts all over the world, so can try there too

In GitLab by @mercury.planetes

As I can see, wee need only test one can run massa-node on Mac and Windows with bind = [::]:31244 (and 31245)

1) tested on MacBook Air M1 - it works as expected 2) tested on Windows - no problems with configuration option bind = [::]:31244 (and 31245), works as expected
