I have taken a look at my relay and noted activity like this a short
while ago.

105.812429380 202.91.162.47 → 95.216.198.252 TCP 54 22 → 18588 [RST,
ACK] Seq=1 Ack=1 Win=5840 Len=0
113.387329574 202.91.163.206 → 95.216.198.252 TCP 54 22 → 41567
[RST, ACK] Seq=1 Ack=1 Win=4128 Len=0

So - resets coming from a host I have not attempted to connect to.

I have informed hetzner and pointed them to the tor-project note at
https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/network-health/analysis/-/issues/85
given by Roger Dingledine.
