No inbound connections on my bitcoin full node with TOR

0

Can someone connect to my running node? u3ob433qu3ebkmsu.onion:8333

I'm behind a CG-NAT so I've thought using TOR would solve my problem.

I had my node running for hours but no inbound connections.

grep debug.log -e inbound returns nothing.

$ bitcoin-cli getnetworkinfo

It generally takes a long time before the network "discovers" you're a good peer to connect to. It may be a few days before you get inbound connections.

I'm able to connect to you.

Nice. WIll leave it then for now and will come back in few days to see how it is. Btw, shouldn't I see "inbound" connections on my log? Because I still don't see it.anat0lius 2019-09-15T19:13:45.547

1Try getpeerinfo. Do you see a connection with "inbound" : true there?Pieter Wuille 2019-09-15T19:27:58.600

yes! there are manyanat0lius 2019-09-15T19:48:12.240
