Im trying to connect my Bitcoin core full node through Tor but I have been waiting for 15 minutes and I still have 0 peers.

I clicked on the "Connect throught SOCKS5 proxy (default proxy)" checkbox and also clicked on the "Use separate SOCKS5 proxy to reach peers via Tor hidden services:"

then restarted the client with these boxes checked and a Tor Browser window opened (I think this was needed) but I cannot see any peers. Im doing something wrong?

The proxy settings are the default ones (127.0.0.1:9050)
