Hey everyone, I just started running a node but I'm hitting a wall here. Everything seems fine with the empty bitcoin.conf, but I only get IPv4 connections. As soon as I try to set up Tor, my incoming connections drop to zero. Here’s what I put in the bitcoin.conf: server=1 listen=1 onion=127.0.0.1:9050 listenonion=1 proxy=127.0.0.1:9050 proxyrandomize=1 Any tips? Thanks!

Have you tried checking if Tor is working at all? Open up some.onion sites with the Tor Browser. That might help you figure things out.

Cool, I made some progress. I found two SOCKS5 options in my settings. The second one makes a separate SOCKS5 connection, and it lets IPv4/6 incoming connections happen. But I'm wondering, does this setup actually allow incoming Tor connections? Also, is it risky if I’m connected to both Tor and IPv4?

Thanks, I've made progress in that there are two SOCKS5 options in the settings, the second option creates a separate SOCKS5 connection, and still allows IPv4/6 incoming. However, does this allows for incoming Tor connections? But also, is it a security issue for those connecting on Tor if am also connecting to IPv4/6?
