Hey everyone,
I'm kinda new to this whole node thing. My node seems to be working fine with just a blank bitcoin.conf file, but I'm only getting IPv4 connections.
Once I try to set it up for the Tor network, my incoming connections drop to zero.
Here's what I've got in my bitcoin.conf. Can anyone point me in the right direction with the right commands?
server=1
listen=1
onion=127.0.0.1:9050
listenonion=1
proxy=127.0.0.1:9050
proxyrandomize=1
Thanks a ton!

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