Topic: Satoshi client over Tor not working? (Read 858 times)
Hi, I have a server on my LAN running bitcoind, and port 8333 is forwarded from WAN to this machine. I leave this machine running 24/7 to support the network, and it has typically around 50 connections at any one time. I also run Bitcoin-qt on a number of desktops/laptops for submitting actual transactions. On these machines I sometimes run Tor and configure the Bitcoin-qt network options to use SOCKS proxy 127.0.0.1:9050. However, when I do a "bitcoind getpeerinfo" on the server, the other LAN machines show up in the list (192.168.x.x). My understanding of how the Tor proxy works is the only way my server could connect to a LAN machine would be on the WAN side via a Tor exit node. Am I missing something? Thanks for your help.
