Inbounds:

"Servers configured to receive inbound connections only through Tor are called hidden services. Rather than revealing a server's IP address (and thus its network location), a hidden service is accessed through its onion address https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.onion. "

Outbound:

Trrafic going out from your server. To allow only tor to use it: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/BlockNonTorTrafficDebian

Exit:

Your server will be used as "public ip" for end user.

*Good evening ladies and gentleman*

I'm running a TOR Exit for a few days now ( https://globe.torproject.org/#/relay/06BA80D9E1143CFAD835442142A3FA5A1E4FD91...). I'm also using TOR ARM in order to monitor TOR's performance, log messages and connections. When I have a look at the connections page on TOR ARM I read about «Inbound», «Outbound» or «Exit» connections. I searched the web already. But I wasn't able to find a site that explains in simple words what's the difference between «Inbound», «Outbound» or «Exit» connections.

Is there anybody who is able to tell me what «Inbound», «Outbound» or «Exit» connections are?
