 Well so here is the current torrc file:
Nickname gbridge
ORPort 8080
SocksPort 0
BridgeRelay 1
PublishServerDescriptor bridge
BridgeDistribution email
ServerTransportPlugin obfs4 exec /usr/bin/obfs4proxy
ServerTransportListenAddr obfs4 0.0.0.0:8081
ExtOrPort auto
Log notice file /var/log/tor/notices.log
ExitPolicy reject *:*

Strangely, nothing whatsoever is being written to the notices.log file, upon checking it it is completely empty, nothing there. I wonder why that would happen and how else to tell what's going on? Tor is running as root so it's not a permission issue, and I also set up a port forwarding rule for the obfs4 port. Thanks.

Keifer,
Have you tried starting the Tor process manually (without the startup script)?
Example:

/opt/sbin/tor -f /tmp/torrc




Starting Tor manually is a great way of diagnosing torrc startup issues.




Keep at it. You're almost there.




Kind Regards,
