[tor-relays] "Your server (xxxx:443) has not managed to confirm that its ORPort is reachable."

[Dr Gerard Bulger]

Running from home is not a good idea as high risk for an exit and in many
countries it would get a visit from the police when your hidden users do bad
things.      Using 4G/5G many land-line and fibre networks might not work,
as most of these services are now behind CGNAT for IP4 addresses.  The world
has runout of those addresses so have to be shared.  No ports at your home
will then be reachable from the outside.  Paying or a fixed IP may fix that
and a fixed IP is needed for tor server.

If your router and service has IPv6, that will give you a range of fixed
IPs.  Then you can let any device on your network (using pinholes) have an
accessible port(s).  Alas, Tor still demands an open IP4port to work.

I'm running Ubuntu Linux, from home. It connect to the internet without
proxy. I'm from Vietnam. I didn't add DirPort to torrc. Can you help me to
fix this?
