[tor-relays] New relay has a problem - Additional info about net config

[Fran]

Hey Olaf,

I'd try the following:

- restart tor
- restart whole server
- try setting:

Address  107.189.14.123

in torrc.

I have no experience with nyx and if it displays logs from tor or if
some unicorns are in between, so maybe take a look if the logs written 
by tor itself differ from the nyx ones.

The "Address '::1'" is surprising when not having IPv6 enabled at all 
(which is also supported by the "ip a" output).

Best,
  fran
