[tor-relays] VPS ports impassable

[I]

Hej,

[WARNING - if you don't want to see another Tor relay get going stop reading now.]

After installing Tor on a VPS running Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS it reports

[warn] Your server (173.208.211.179:9030) has not managed to confirm that its DirPort is reachable. Please check your firewalls, ports, address,...

The VPS operator is trying his best but says the ports are open and is asking others.

In the meantime does anyone have anything to offer?
