Comment (by traumschule):

 Ran into to this as well, let me know if you are interested in info logs.

 If it's a configuration error we should update [[TorRelayGuide]] what
 users should do about
 {{{Address '<LOCALHOST>' resolves to private IP address '192.168.###.###'.
 Tor servers that use the default DirAuthorities must have public IP
 addresses.}}}

 [[TorRelayGuide#PublicIPv4Address]] says
 >  Every relay needs a public IPv4 address - either directly on the host
 (preferred) or via NAT and port forwarding.
 This is not very instructive. Should we recommend to run a
 [[doc/PluggableTransports/obfs4proxy]] instead?
