[tor-relays] Why is my Tor bridge relay not getting any traffic?

[Tor Patatje]

You don't connect to your bridge, you connect to the tor network if you 
use the socks5. So yes, the check passes, because it's being sent over 
the tor network, not using your bridge but using tor's socks5 proxy.

Also in your config you have set the socks port to 9031, but in this 
line of code you connect to port 90. Probably a typo but just FYI.
