had to reboot, that’s why. 
long answer 
: figured, since a Pi3 can muscle 3-4 relays, hell even an old spare Lynnfield like the one i have for running relays, should be able to do something more than that. so i went for a max 8 relays, and i’ll see how it goes…
But because Enkidu’s script , as great as it is, can be a bit finicky IF you dont know a bit more Linux than the average Windows refugee like me 
,when it is alrdy previously deployed, and then you start adding and changing stuff, i rebooted to clear my iptables.
speaking of iptables, this how i have them 3 days now, dont know if i’s good like that, so if anyone has a suggestion i’m all ears :
it’s Enkidu’s script + the Authorities and Snowflake servers.
It seems to be working fine, at least as DoS defense goes, my relays couldnt be happier.
