[tor-relays] Problems with firewall rules

[Petrusko]

Hey,

As said Moritz, you can verify the ORPort you set up in the torrc config
file, is opened in your router config, and forwarded to your Tor server
internal LAN IP.

+ When you start Tor service in your Debian, you will have some logs to
verify if it's ok, and may be the problem will be showned :
tail -f /var/log/tor/notices.log
--> ctrl-c to terminate the live log view.
--> if in your /etc/tor/torrc file, the logs are set up to :
Log notice file /var/log/tor/notices.log

+ Verify in the torrc file, may be your previous WAN IP has stay :
Address noname.example.com (your previous WAN IP address)
--> you can comment this with #, it's usually automatically working nice.
to:
#Address noname.example.com

Hope this helps.
