Hey there,
to efficiently help you, could you please post your /etc/tor/torrc?
Otherwise, the relays that you see in Russia are likely on a host that does not enforce the ban of the Tor Project.
However, your nyx data is quite weird.
Did you run it as the Tor user?
Otherwise, make sure that your ControlPort is opened, and that you use CookieAuthentication.
Thank you,
-GH

Hello. For the past few days I've been trying to open a tor-relay on my old laptop running arch. The tor service starts fine but when I check nyx no traffic goes through me, both download and upload is 0. Nyx shows Unknown:portnumber. I doubt that the port is closed or somehow unavailable since arch's defaults are wide open. And for some reason my tor version (0.4.8.13) shows up as "unknown" as well. I thought the issue may lie in torproject's ban in Russia but somehow other people run relays just fine? (

Im quite new in all of this so bear with me.
Thanks
