</div>As I'm running only a bridge-relay now,, is it ok that your suggestions<br>
only show three tor-connections?<br>
<br>
# lsof -iTCP|grep debian-tor|grep 9001|wc -l<br>
3<br>
<br>
In comparison to my middleman before, it's like nothing...<br>
<br>
Thanks a lot Jonathan, for your answers!<br>

<br>#l lsof -iTCP|grep debian-tor|wc -l<br><br>and see if it turns up more connections. Three seems like a small number to me, but you'll probably have to wait for someone else to answer (consider posting that as a question in a new thread.)<br>
