Hello Zenaan! I took me some days, but I finally got to try it and was able do to it exactly as said. $ ssh -C -L 9055:localhost:9051 user@tornode on a separate shell: $ arm -i 127.0.0.1:9055 Which authentication method did you enable on your torrc? I have enabled hashed control password, so after the second command above, I get asked for this password before being able to complete the connection. -- André N. Batista GNUPG/PGP KEY: 6722CF80
