help needed to setup a bridge on amazon and relay on PC

I've been trying to setup a bridge on amazon cloud and relay node on PC but never succeeded in setting it up. I always get an error "Your server (IP:9001) has not managed to confirm that its ORPort is reachable". 1. My PC is behind netgear router and I had configured portforwarding (portforwarding seems to work but tor-relay fails complains about ORPort reachability). 2. Follow the steps https://cloud.torproject.org/#get_started and created an instance on amazon cloud but facing the ORPort reachability.

Hi, Thanks for the help. On amazon cloud I'm able to setup bridge on port 8080. Not sure why port 443 and 9001 did not work. ubuntu@ip-172-31-51-95:~$ tail -n10 /var/log/tor/log Dec 23 19:55:26.000 [notice] We now have enough directory information to build circuits.
