For the past week I’ve been running a Tor relay using the Tor‑Relay plugin on my OpenSense. While the relay appears to be functioning, I’ve noticed a few irregularities:

1. Selective blocking: Some IP addresses that connect to me are being denied by default, whereas others with similar characteristics connect without any issue.
2. Low bandwidth usage: The relay isn’t consuming much bandwidth. I’m not sure whether this is normal while the relay is still learning its capacity or if something else is limiting traffic.
3. No connections on port 9030: So far, I haven’t seen any inbound connections to the directory port (9030).

For testing, the following IP is reachable via ICMP ;)

• 109.199.164.117 – Port 9001 (OR) / DIR 9030

Could you advise on why these behaviors are occurring and whether any configuration changes are needed?

Thanks for your help, and stay hydrated!
