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.

By "in the settings", do you actually mean option on Bitcoin Core GUI (see below image)?

However, does this allows for incoming Tor connections?

IIRC "Use seperate SOCKS5 proxy ..." equal to onion=... And based on what guide i mentioned earlier, the answer is no since onion service isn't created yet (either manual or automatic).

But also, is it a security issue for those connecting on Tor if am also connecting to IPv4/6?

AFAIK no, although anonymity concern exist where theoretically it's possible to know node with IP X and node with onion link Y actually belong to same node.

Yes I can access .onion sites

with the above config I can have outgoing peers on the .onion network. But no incoming on either Tor or IPv4.

Recommend to test it by trying to access .onion websites with the Tor Browser to ensure that Tor itself is working first.

Hi All,

I'm pretty new to running a node. The node appears to be running fine with a blank bitcoin.conf (but all connections are only IPv4).

As soon as I include the Tor network my incoming connections go to zero.

I am putting this in my bitcoin.conf, could anyone help me with the correct commands?

server=1
listen=1
onion=127.0.0.1:9050
listenonion=1
proxy=127.0.0.1:9050
proxyrandomize=1

Thanks

S
