Guard relay not working as expeted

Hello, I setup this relay around 3 months ago, but still it’s not routing as expeted. It’s reachable from outside on port 9001 and I am not sure how to debug it, can someone help please?

This does not look right.

Seems like logs after 1 day of uptime are not much informative.
Try to find if logs contain anything unusual at the moment when relay was started.
