You should not need to port forward anything.
You might consider using a simple front end to iptables like UFW, Uncomplicated Firewall. Simple easy and gets the job done.
It is odd that tor complained that your IP address changed. It should not do that. I would assume a VPS would have a static ip address.
The ip addresses are
IP: 142.4.217.95
Decimal: 2382682463
Hostname: ca3.pulseservers.com
ASN: 16276
ISP: OVH Hosting

where the problem lies.. do I need to forward something?
