I don't think it's much of a problem: I myself only have one TOR peer despite having over 120 inbound/outbound connections.

There's probably something wrong, because I'm running a full node with onlynet=onion, and have about 12 inbound/outbound connections.

My node is hosted on a fast network, so it's probably the case that more IPv4 nodes are connecting to me than Tor nodes. Seeing as Core will run about 110 inbound peers max to a node (the other 10 are outbound peers), I'm not really surprised at only having one or two tor peers.

I think if you don't get many inbound only connections it means that somewhere is able to handle them faster?

I don't think that's common on the onion network. Speed is somewhat the same to every node you connect.

120 connections, that's huge, I reach at the best 30. Okay, good to know, thx!

I found the first link, too. I will look on all of them to see what I can do to solve it. Thanks mates for your answers!

It looks like you've communicated with them anyway so you might be sending and receiving information on things like the mempool to/from them (I'd say blocks but it doesn't look like a block has been received yet unless they are that small).

Hello guys. I decided to run full node over Tor and after many tryings I succeeded to do that.
But I get only 1 inbound connection, and rarely 2. I guess that's a problem, it's too low.
Here are my config: https://prnt.sc/gE51xIc-2uRu
Does anyone know if that's okay or what should I change? PS: I use only Tor (not the browser); on bitnodes, my onion address is green.
