Thank you for the feedback! OK so, after reading this, I think the user
just wasn't waiting long enough for the connection to complete. It's a
TCP service so that's not a problem and we had it configured for Tor
over 9050. The only thing that didn't happen was issuing a NEWNYM
command. But would that have stopped the connection from happening?

Also, a quick question about the encryption service. I'm offering
SSL/TLS connections to the service. Is that what you mean or are you
talking encrypting something else still?

Thanks,
Anthony
