[tor-relays] Trying to set up a relay at home, but get no connections

[Gunnar Wolf]

Hello,

I have set up a VM at my home server (via fiber DSL) to work as a Tor
relay. I have set up port forwarding for ORport and DirPort (defaults,
9001 and 9030). The logs don't give me any useful information — or,
possibly, I fail to grok anything useful ;-)

The following happens every couple of hours:
