[tor-relays] Relay usage dropped 9x when enabling UFW. What UFW rules do other relay operators enact?

Hello all,

I'm running relay 292FCACE773DC259B799914A23BE65A6A6178E8F and have noticed 
traffic drops when enabling UFW.
Around 2024-01-15, I enabled UFW on this server. I noticed a 9x drop in traffic 
(10.88M -> 1.708M), and coughed it up to relay weirdness. This is about when my 
relays Guard status would randomly drop every few weeks.
I finally got fed up with this huge drop in traffic on 2024-06-11 and was about 
to reinstall my server OS. This is when I decided to disable UFW and found that 
my traffic went back over a few days (2.215M -> 8.948M). 


Here are my tor-related UFW rules;
     To                         Action      From
     --                         ------      ----
[ 3] 9001                       ALLOW IN    Anywhere
[11] 9001 (v6)                  ALLOW IN    Anywhere (v6)

I'm really confused how UFW firewalled most, but not all, of my relays traffic.
What UFW rules do other relay operators enact?

Thanks,
Likogan
