Well so here is the current torrc file:

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,

Gary
