 check.torproject.org currently resolves to an IPv6 address on top of its
 IPv4:

 {{{
 check.torproject.org is an alias for sergii.torproject.org.
 sergii.torproject.org has address 38.229.70.31
 sergii.torproject.org has IPv6 address 2620:0:6b0:b:250:56ff:fe99:61
 }}}

 Unfortunately, the code behind https://check.torproject.org/ does not seem
 to handle IPv6 connections properly as it currently says:

 {{{
 Sorry, your query failed or an unexpected response was received.

 A temporary service outage prevents us from determining if your source IP
 address is a Tor node.

 Additional information:
 Your IP address appears to be: 2001:9...
 }}}

 No harm done, as the negative answer is correct, but it does not look like
 an optimal answer.
