How many incoming and outgoing connections do you have? How do you know that you are not relaying any transactions?

Number of connections 8 (In:0 / Out:8)

I know this by searching for my IP on Blockchain.info(crap i know)

You need to portforward TCP 8333 on your router. It takes sometime for it other nodes to find you.

Use 21.bitnodes.io, scroll to the bottom to check. That is far more accurate.

Where blockchain.info says "Relayed by" is only for the node that Relayed the transaction to BC.i. It is not the node where the transaction originated nor all the node that have relayed that transaction. That you are not listed there does not mean anything.
