I wanted to get details on the contents of the addr messages from a IP node to a TOR node and vice versa. I was able to connect by installing tor and then restarting bitcoin core. It automatically creates a hidden service for me without having to change the config file.
Well thats ok, But i am trying to understand Why Tor node is required ( For Privacy
)There are many oppressive governments that do this (also if you publish something online they don't like, or if you criticize them) so having Tor is a huge blessing since it doesn't allow them to track you like this anymore.
