marco at w530:~$ man torrc | grep Metrics
       MetricsPort [address:]port [format]
           access policy with MetricsPortPolicy and consider using your 
operating systems firewall features for defense in depth.
           MetricsPortPolicy must be defined else every request will be 
rejected.
               MetricsPort 1.2.3.4:9035
               MetricsPortPolicy accept 5.6.7.8
       MetricsPortPolicy policy,policy,...
           Set an entrance policy for the MetricsPort, to limit who can access 
it. The policies have the same form as exit policies below, except that port 
specifiers are ignored. For multiple entries, this line can be used
           Please, keep in mind here that if the server collecting metrics on 
the MetricsPort is behind a NAT, then everything behind it can access it. This 
is similar for the case of allowing localhost, every users on the server

And David explained to me:

Check iptables or port forward on your router.
