[tor-relays] Attempting to create a relay with Orbot

Starting from a force-stopped Orbot app, if I turn the "Enable your device
to be a non-exit relay" setting either on or off, then start Orbot,
check.torproject.org works and the logs are identical in both cases. They
say nothing about reachability. Does this imply that the setting is not
doing anything?

Log paste:
updating settings in Tor service
Updating torrc custom configuration...
Orbot is starting...
Connected to tor control port
Added control port event handler
<bootstrapping percentages>
NOTICE: Bootstrapped 100% (done): Done
WARN: Rejecting SOCKS request for anonymous connection to private address
[scrubbed].

The word "scrubbed" is actually in the log (I didn't manually scrub
anything). The warning shows up regardless of whether I try to turn
Relaying on or off. check.torproject.org works regardless.
