How to run Bitcoin-Qt using Tor?

[Lionel]

Hey all,
i want to force Bitcoin Core to connect via Tor, are my settings correct?



My torrc-defaults file inside the Tor Browser Bundle forlder contains these lines:

Code:

SocksPort 9150 IPv6Traffic PreferIPv6 KeepAliveIsolateSOCKSAuth
ControlPort 9151

So i guess the port must be 9150 and not 9050, right?

Also, the Allow incoming connections option was selected by default but i have disabled it, is it safer to do so?
What are the implications and what's that option useful for?
