Hello, thanks for running a relay.

Have you reloaded the configuration after editing torrc? In Debian you
can do so with

    sudo systemctl reload tor

> Also uncommented the Nickname.

Nickname is the nickname for your relay, ContactInfo is administrative
contact information that can be used to contact you if your relay or
bridge is misconfigured or something eng else goes wrong. They
shouldn't be related.

Bonus: you may want to take a look at the contactinfo information
sharing specification[1].

From [2][3] I suppose you should have at least 1 Mbit/s for obfs4, or no
bandwidth requirements for snowflake.
