Hello,

I wanted to do my part in helping the TOR network grow, so I've started a tor relay on a debian system. After running for a while and monitoring on Nyx, and checking Relay Search I've notice my link says "Offline". Just wanted to know if there is a way to confirm working status, apologies in advance as I'm quite new to this.

Also configured Port Forwarding on my router for 9001 and 9030 to the private IPv4 address on the tor relay.

Confirmed with my ISP no ports are being blocked.

When I first started I had the confirmation MSG that DirPort could be reached, and have active incoming and outing connections. Now currently only have several outgoing connections.

Was at one stage appearing "Online" on Relay Search, now "Offline"

Currently have: [NOTICE] No circuits are opened. Relaxed timeout for circuit *** (a Testing circuit 3-hop circuit in state doing handshakes with channel state open) to 60000ms. However, it appears the circuit has timed out anyway. [1 similar message(s)

Have not configured 9001 and 9030 to open in linux, are they by default?

Thanks in advance for any help and knowledge, looking forward to helping.
