Re: [Help-gnunet] Getting started

[Christian Grothoff]

For the first warning, looks like your system was somehow receiving
traffic via an IPv6 address that your configuration does not specify.
Maybe your NAT even supports IPv6?  I don't think we ever tested with
IPv6-NAT, and the config likely doesn't even have an option for that.

For the second warning, that's odd as your configuration does specify
that IPv4 address explicitly, and so we should not generate that
warning. Which version are you running? This looks like a bug, but it
might be one fixed since 0.9.1...

Finally, if your peer does connect to the network despite these
warnings, they are not "critical". They tell us that there is a problem,
but it may not be fatal (if downloads from other peers work; loopback
will of course always work).
