<div>Hello all, I have a few newbie questions on some topics that I would like to clear up...</div><div><br></div>What is the proper way to stop/start/restart a relay? I’ve ‘corrupted’ a few relays during this process, for example a relay had a new fingerprint after restarting the machine. Actually my biggest problems thus far are all based around Tor behaving weird after a restart.<div><br></div><div>Also, after I make changes to the torrc file, is pressing ‘x’ in Nyx an acceptable way to enable the changes or is there a preferred method?</div><div><br></div><div>Last, if I’m running a bridge at home do I need to configure iptables / fail2ban or is my firewall sufficient? And specifically which ports need to be forwarded to my bridge? Just the ORPort or others as well?<caret></caret></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks!<br><div><br></div><div><br><div><br></div><div><br><div id="protonmail_mobile_signature_block"><div>Sent from ProtonMail Mobile</div></div></div></div></div>
