 Tor Relay Guide doesn't provide any information about how to setup relay
 in OpenBSD. Is there any reason for this?

 Here's the step by step:

 **OpenBSD**

 1. Add these rules in pf file /etc/pf.conf

 {{{
 pass in log on egress proto tcp from any to any port { 9001 }
 pass out log on egress proto tcp from any to any port { 9001 }
 }}}

 2. Enable the new rules

 {{{
 pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf
 }}}

 3. Configure the repository

 {{{
 echo https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD >> /etc/installurl
 }}}

 4. Install the tor package

 {{{
 pkg_add tor
 }}}

 5. Put the configuration file /usr/local/etc/tor/torrc in place.

 {{{
 #change the nickname "myNiceRelay" to a name that you like
 Nickname myNiceRelay
 ORPort 9001
 ExitRelay 0
 SocksPort 0
 # Change the email address bellow and be aware that it will be published
 ContactInfo tor-operator at your-emailaddress-domain
 Log notice syslog
 }}}

 6. Start the tor daemon and make sure it starts at boot:

 {{{
 rcctl enable tor
 rcctl start tor
 }}}
