I am running a pruned bitcoin node that is running onlynet = onion.
Using the bitcoin-cli I get the list of IP addresses for incoming connections and I can see that there are ipv4 addresses in there. How does that really work? I'm guessing it is a 6 hop circuit because my bitcoin node is a hidden service. If that is the case, then the ipv4 address should not be visible.

I'm sure there is a gap in my understanding for incoming connections and I would really appreciate it if someone could clarify it.

If you want to listen only to onion incoming connections, then perhaps you should set listenonion=1 to bitcoin.conf (along with onlynet=onion). I'm not sure what's the problem, but I've set this to my node and I'm completely isolated from ipv4.

Thank you for your replies. This sure does help my understanding of connections for my tor node.
