Comment (by wagon):

 By the way: I don't know how it is handled in modern Nyx, but what is
 written in
 [[https://nyx.torproject.org/images/screenshots/connections.png|arm
 screenshot]] for `INBOUND` and `OUTBOUND` connections is also wrong. If
 some clever port/address redirection is not used at relay's side,
 `public_IP:9001` must be written instead of `localhost:9001` (similarly
 also for other ports). `localhost` is `127.0.0.1`. Tor accepts inbound
 traffic at its `public_IP`, and use `public_IP` as a source IP for
 outgoing TCP packets to other relays.
