Tor Services not working with higher number ports
Previously, I had set my my ssh port to 12222 instead of port 22 so that it would be a little harder to find and that worked OK. This week I started adding this port to my onion service so that I could log into ssh via tor and I continuously received this kind of error: Ncat: Error: Connection refused. ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host I worked on this for two days and this morning I decided to change sshd back to the standard port 22 and updated torrc accordingly and voilà it works. My question is, is this a bug or a known limitation of the tor software? Best Regards, Jason

This usually works, and sounds like you mixed up the port numbers involved here. If your line is HiddenServicePort 22 127.0.0.1:12222 then your sshd needs to listen on port 12222, and the ncat as the ssh proxy command must be pointed to your.onion:22. Andreas -- "Totally trivial.
