Hi,
I'm unable to start newly setup/configured guard/middle relay Tor version 0.4.2.5 after setup & configuration of Tor on an Ubuntu 18.04 VPS server.
I'm already running a couple of Guard relays on Ubuntu 18.04 with the same VPS provider who allows for Tor Guard/Middle relays.
I've followed a blueprint for setting up the Tor relay on Tor 0.4.2.5 which worked no problem on 6 other relays I've configured & operated without issue in the last month on Ubuntu 18.04 Tor version 0.4.1.6.
I've carefully reviewed the steps I've taken to ensure I haven't made any errors during the setup/configuration process.
The issue described here is accompanied by the arrival of 0.4.2.5 & this is, in fact, the first time I've tried to set up a Tor relay on 0.4.2.5. I've also included a screenshot that highlights the issues.
I realize there might very well be other possible reasons for these errors, so I keep an open mind & will be grateful for any support or advice.
Regards,
Toni
