I'm trying to run Bitcoin Core entirely over Tor. Everything with the outgoing connections is ok, but I don't get any incoming connections, even though I see
2019-11-01T10:26:18Z tor: ADD_ONION successful
2019-11-01T10:26:18Z tor: Got service ID 6yewk7gn3ifmvudz, advertising service 6yewk7gn3ifmvudz.onion:8333
in the logs. I also tried to check if the node is available with
https://bitnodes.earn.com/. It doesn't work with the .onion address. Any ideas?
I also noticed a weird thing: I got one inbound connection from localhost... how is this possible? I don't run any other nodes.

update: Actually I think incoming connections will always say 127.0.0.1 since I specified bind=127.0.0.1 when in fact they are over tor. Am I correct?
