Is the tor software successfully launched? Try simply launching the tor software just by opening a terminal window and typing “tor” in the Debian command line. This will start the tor software. If the bridge becomes successfully useable, you will see a message which will read “Self testing indicates your QRPort is reachable. Excellent. Publishing server descriptor” (I am not sure what the exact confirmation messages is for bridges but if the tor software manages to confirm your bridge is useable you should see a message that read something like that).
➢ Tail-f /var/log/tor/log Try navigating to /var/log/tor/. This is where tor will normally save the log files to. See if there is a tor log text file there. If you have not started your relay, tor might not have created the log file yet. Try starting the tor software then see if the file appears after that.
