Hello again. I'm found it weird that all resources says that "Distribution mechanism" should change after a few days and mine was still "none". So now I'm trying torix's suggestion and deleted the keys and all the /var/lib/tor/ directory, changed nickname and started it again.
The hashed fingerprint for my bridge is now: 3B5D1AE581EE4113610E094D5993D6299E64EDEF Its the same torrc file I shared before, just new nickname. This is the log of the last heartbeats is the following, minus timestamps (I will update after one week): /var/log/tor# cat notices.log.1 notices.log | grep Heart | grep -v Accounting [notice] Heartbeat: Tor's uptime is 6:00 hours, with 0 circuits open.

I also added a IPv4 iptables rule just to count the traffic: # iptables -vnL|grep TOR 74451 14M ACCEPT tcp -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 multiport dports 6661:6662 /* TOR R */ # Is this ammount of connections/clients normal for the first day of a bridge?
