It says my .onion addres is reachable at bitnodes.io yet no inbound connections in GUI on peers. I only get outbound connections. Does it take a couple of hours before inbound connections can find me? The outbound connections I get it after 5 mins. Have only runned my node for 45 mins with Tor, and yes I'm fully synced with the blockchain.
If Bitnodes can connect to your node, that means that others can as well.
That time when you query your onion address in Bitnodes, their node momentarily added to your inbound connection for a few seconds, if you didn't noticed it.
Yes, it takes a few hours to get inbound connections and it depends if your current outbound peers have good connections as well.
Like mine for example which has
onlynet=onion (
so my outbound connections are all .onion) takes a few minutes (
even hours) to get one inbound connection.
