[tor-relays] Bridge Distribution Mechanism none

[Ross Camm]

I have been up and running with my Tor Bridge for a number of months now, yet Tor Metrics reports that the Bridge Distribution Mechanism for my server is stuck on 'none'.
 
Consequently I see no incoming connections to my Bridge.
 
I have tried altering the following
 
 
BridgeRelay 1
PublishServerDescriptor bridge
BridgeDistribution moat 
 
with no success.
The mechanism is always none....and I have left the changes for a week to see if Metrics updates to no avail.
 
I have a static IPv4 address and functional IPv6 and have confirmed my ports are publicly accessible for both protocols
 
Self-testing indicates your ORPort [XXXX:XXXX:XXXX::XXX]:993 is reachable from the outside. Excellent.
Self-testing indicates your ORPort XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:993 is reachable from the outside. Excellent. Publishing server descriptor.
 
I am running raspberry pi os buster which had an obsolete Tor version.
I subsequently upgraded and stay up to date with the latest bullseye version via bullseye backports,
 
Currently Tor 0.4.6.10-1~bpo10+1
 
Any ideas of why my servers Bridge Distribution Mechanism is always reported and behaving as none  ?
 
Thanks in advance ;)
