Hi, I apologize for top posting, but it’ll be the simplest way to convey the message. In April 2018 Google released an update that caused VPNs and Tor services to stop working on GCE and App Engine. It was a long planned network update. The following ticket refers:

Hi all, so I believe I found the problem. In my torrc file, there was a rogue line which read "PublishServerDescriptor" with nothing after it. I removed this line and restarted the relay, now it is saying "May 24 01:38:16.000 [notice] Self-testing indicates your ORPort is reachable from the

Hi all, so this is the tor log since the last restart. It includes the relay fingerprint. The tor version is (0.2.9.16-1). When I tried updating tor I got a message saying that was the newest version. The relay has an assigned static ip and port which are both allowed by the firewall. It seems
