Configure relay on local cable connection (Century Link). The
idea <br>
is
to have the relay proofed operational the way I want it and then
move
<br>
it (torrc) to a droplet after it has been in operation for three
days. Doing <br>
this saves cost in downloading to the droplet.</font></p>

– No complaints, running as default. After just two minutes of
<br>
operation the relay was running at 2 MB/s with bursts up to 3
MB/s.
<br>
After the obligatory/frustrating twenty minute wait for
or/dirport
<br>
hand shaking I get:</font><font style="font-size: 16pt"
size="+2" face="Arial"> orport/dirport
unreachable…. Adnauseum! <br>
Changed IP address to one given by tor,
still unreachable. Lastly, <br>
I removed the 900l/9030 ports from the
modem and installed <br>
6969 as the orport. Changed GUFW, verified the
changes took <br>
place, changed ip to real world IP 63.xxx.xxx.xxx in
torrc. Hand <br>
shaking to the orport was almost immediate. Right now,
the relay <br>
after twenty
hours of operation is tortusing along at 20 B/s. <br>
Which to me is pure
BS. </font>
