Plan:
        Configure relay on local cable connection (Century Link). The
        idea 
        is
        to have the relay proofed operational the way I want it and then
        move
        
        it (torrc) to a droplet after it has been in operation for three
        days. Doing 
        this saves cost in downloading to the droplet.
    
Modem Zyxel C3000 was set to port forward on 9001, 9030, and 9050
IP 192.XXX.X.X
Turn off UpnP (plug and play) <relay fails with it on>
    
GUFW is set to allow the above ports – reload to allow changes
    
after much struggling/research to open ports 9001/9030
    
nc -zv 127.0.0.1 9001/9030
    
Connection to 127.0.0.1 9001 port [tcp/*] succeeded! <9030 also>
    
Alrighty then!
    
Tor –verify-config <many probs here, but cleared> No complaints
    
NOTE:
        I know tor.Nyx should not be run as root, I get that. Tor/Nyx 
        are
        running as root. I don’t know how to use debian-tor as usr. Nyx
        
        shows in it’s configuration as usr debian-tor. Su debian-tor
        produces 
        a rollover back to root usr prompt.
    
service tor start
    
Nyx
        – No complaints, running as default. After just two minutes of
        
        operation the relay was running at 2 MB/s with bursts up to 3
        MB/s.
        
        After the obligatory/frustrating twenty minute wait for
        or/dirport
        
        hand shaking I get: orport/dirport
        unreachable…. Adnauseum! 
        Changed IP address to one given by tor,
        still unreachable. Lastly, 
        I removed the 900l/9030 ports from the
        modem and installed 
        6969 as the orport. Changed GUFW, verified the
        changes took 
        place, changed ip to real world IP 63.xxx.xxx.xxx in
        torrc. Hand 
        shaking to the orport was almost immediate. Right now,
        the relay 
        after twenty
        hours of operation is tortusing along at 20 B/s. 
        Which to me is pure
        BS. 
    
    
Can someone give me some idea’s as to what I am doing wrong?
