- This release removes support for Tor version 2 hidden services in favor of Tor
v3 only, as the Tor network [dropped support for Tor
v2](https://blog.torproject.org/v2-deprecation-timeline) with the release of
Tor version 0.4.6. Henceforth, Bitcoin Core ignores Tor v2 addresses; it
neither rumors them over the network to other peers, nor stores them in memory
or to `peers.dat`. (#22050)

useful to see if the node knows enough addresses in a network to use options

The following directions assume you have a Tor proxy running on port 9050. Many distributions default to having a SOCKS proxy listening on port 9050, but others may not. In particular, the Tor Browser Bundle defaults to listening on port 9150. See [Tor Project FAQ:TBBSocksPort](https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#TBBSocksPort) for how to properly
configure Tor.
## Compatibility
- Starting with version 22.0, Bitcoin Core only supports Tor version 3 hidden
services (Tor v3). Tor v2 addresses are ignored by Bitcoin Core and neither
relayed nor stored.
- Tor removed v2 support beginning with version 0.4.6.
