Hi,

sorry for the late reply, I was busy working.

The only thing that stands out to me immediately is that you configured two separate ControlPort authentication methods:

HashedControlPassword XX:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX CookieAuthentication 1

You might want to comment out the first line.

Otherwise, everything else looks correct.

P.S:  Since you do not run a bridge, there is no need to un-comment the obfs4 related settings:

ServerTransportPlugin obfs4 exec /usr/bin/obfs4proxy ServerTransportListenAddr obfs4 0.0.0.0:9002

This will do nothing, unless you actually configure the relay to be a bridge.

Try to comment both HashedControlPassword and the obfs4 settings, and restart the relay.

nyx should now work - additionally, you might want to check the log using journalctl -u tor.

There should be a line stating that your ORPort is reachable from the outside, and that your server descriptor has been published.

If that is not the case, then I would conclude that your host / ISP is up to some "funny" business, and you might not be able to run a normal relay.

Since I can't find any relay with your specified nickname, I assume that it is still not working.

However, you could still run an obfs4 bridge, which should work fine in Russia - if you can do this, please do.. any relay or bridge not run by intelligence agencies or government helps!
