I've followed https://community.torproject.org/relay/setup/bridge/freebsd/ to install a bridge ( I've run bridges and relays before) on 15.1 aarch64, because my rpi4 was collecting some dust.
I've added ports redirections on my router and the logs indicates that my bridge is seeing traffic :

Sep 20 07:05:46.000 [notice] Heartbeat: Tor's uptime is 1 day 0:00 hours, with 0 circuits open. I've sent 9.21 MB and received 35.22 MB. I've received 204 connections on IPv4 and 0 on IPv6. I've made 49 connections with IPv4 and 0 with IPv6.

Sep 20 07:05:46.000 [notice] Heartbeat: Since last heartbeat message, I have seen 32 unique clients.

But tor metrics is seeing my bridge as red (unhealthy offline). This prompted me to check /var/log/messages and to stumble uppon this line

rpi4 kernel: Limiting tcp reset response from 1663 to 194 packets/sec

My search foo being what it is I'm not fiding anything related to this error, so trying my luck here before going to the FreeBSD forums.

Anyone knows what this is? Anyone knows how to 'fix' this?
