It went fine. The problem was me.  I brought the bridge back up in the terminal and when I check the status in the Tor relay site it took almost an hour for it to show back online when I should have trusted what I read in the terminal when it said it was visible from the outside. So for future reference, after rebooting and restarting a bridge, wait awhile before expecting to see it showing as online in Tor Metrics.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>-------- Original Message --------<br>On Dec 30, 2019, 3:17 PM, Kenneth Freeman < Kencf0618@riseup.net> wrote:<blockquote class="protonmail_quote"><br><p dir="ltr"></p>

&gt; Hello:<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I had a power outage recently and I've restarted my bridge i.e. restarted the daemon and tor, and when I check the Relay Search<br>
&gt; section of Tor Metrics, it's taking a long time for my bridge to show<br>
as online again. Also, not sure if this matters, but I am<br>
&gt; running Linux Mint, and recently upgraded to the latest version, 19.3.<br>
Any ideas?</p>
