If your relays are misconfigured you received an email from bad-relays.
Check mails & tor logs.

To help you, please post relay fingerprints. (¹I've done it now)
Share tor configs and logs on pastebin.

First I would check DNS resolution:

If you set up many relays at the same time, it is always a good idea to
announce it in this list beforehand. Especially if you do this @ provider that
have been known for malicious relays in the past. Because you can set up exits
there easily and relatively anonymously.

BTW:
At Frantech, all VMs are dual stack. It would be nice if you could configure IPv6.
Frantech is overcrowded and should be avoided if possible. Building 16 new exits
there is generally a bad idea.


One alternative:
Sorry for the advertising, recently a Tor friendly hoster contacted several
Tor operators.


"We noticed that you are hosting TOR nodes, and if you are considering
expanding the network with additional exit nodes, MAXKO Hosting provides a
secure and stable infrastructure that fully supports exit traffic.
