tor connection?

Try peering to the node first? If it's not working we need to reach out to the node operator. They only have one active channel. Maybe there is a technical issue.

Ok I'll reach out to them, thanks.

Is there another way to connect to peers other than cli..is the a way to do it in the GUI

What you're showing in your post is the correct way to peer. Can you try to peer (connect) to another node with Tor?

Yea, I actually thought to try that and it worked. I just connected and opened to DarthPikachu, tor node.

In this case https://lightningnetwork.plus/nodes/03da3b1c4891a3c6e37038d629702778775c287f45f229636ccc038ed7f59a0e11 has a problem!

@LN+: There is a general class of problems related to an incorrect assumption that this site makes: namely, that Tor-only nodes can always connect outbound to clearnet-only nodes. Whether that is possible actually depends on the configuration of the Tor-only node. Many times I have had peers complain that they can't connect to me and get a "Dial Proxy Failed" error when they try. It has always been because their node had been configured to disallow outbound connections to clearnet nodes.

Feature request: Add an option in the LN+ Account Settings for "Can connect to clearnet nodes." Then, if the option is unset, refuse to allow joining Swaps or making Pool requests where an outbound connection to a clearnet node would be needed. (And also refuse to allow clearnet-only nodes to join Swaps or make Pool requests where they would need a Tor-only, no-clearnet node to make an outbound connection to them.)

Thank you BCash_Is_Trash, I will work on this! 👏
