Why doesn't Tor browser block HTTP by default?
It's not enabled by default because it would block a significant fraction of the Internet for users. Blocking HTTP-only traffic will likely come in the future once Tor Browser is using a version of ...

How can I limit the numbers of connections a Tor Relay is able to make? (iptables)
This script works, but may need a bit of improvement like a trap command. I made it by myself.

It's not really clear why Tor doesn't start in your case, but from your log, it could mean:

The problem is due to missing Pluggable-Transports configuration.
