[tor-relays] TOR: Inbound, Outbound, Exit connections

[Ralph Bolliger]

*Good evening ladies and gentleman*

I'm running a TOR Exit for a few days now (
https://globe.torproject.org/#/relay/06BA80D9E1143CFAD835442142A3FA5A1E4FD910).
I'm also using TOR ARM in order to monitor TOR's performance, log messages
and connections.
When I have a look at the connections page on TOR ARM I read about
«Inbound», «Outbound» or «Exit» connections. I searched the web already.
But I wasn't able to find a site that explains in simple words what's the
difference between «Inbound», «Outbound» or «Exit» connections.

Is there anybody who is able to tell me what «Inbound», «Outbound» or
«Exit» connections are?
