[tor-relays] VPS ports impassable

[Sebastian Bögl]

Hey,

usually this problem is due to a wrong set fqdn hostname and hosts file.

In /etc/hostname set the hostname: relay.example.com
and run the command "hostname relay.example.com"

In /etc/hosts change the current hostname
	127.0.0.1 current.example.com
to:
	127.0.0.1 relay.example.com

Though this is obvious run end edit with sudo and replace the example
with the real hostname.
