 Your issue was probably that you tried to connect to Tor relays over clearnet? So you at least need to make sure that the connection to a Tor relay is routed through Tor. 

In my experience (using nostrudel and snort), I usually add the relay, then need to reload the page for it to actually connect (or at least show it's connected). Then the events usually pops up in the feed right away.

 Is it possible to route that specific tor connection over clearnet through tor? Something like a split 
 You can route clearnet URLs over Tor but not tor onion urls ovee clearnet essentially. 

Mobile apps and desktop apps could probably pack a tor daemon in the app to route any onion url over Tor automatically. IIRC, Amethyst did this? Is that correct @Vitor Pamplona? 
 No, Amethyst relies on the Tor proxy provided by Orbot. Routes throigh Tor allor nothing. I find websockets working over Tor surprisingly well. Once the connections are established with a few seconds delay the speed is acceptable. Amethyst is well usable over Tor of needed. 
 On the list, but we never found a stable Tor library to use inside Amethyst. Much less one that we can control the routes to avoid routing everything through the same nodes.

  On desktop, if you are using linux, you can configure system's proxy to route connections to port 9050 and add a nice rule to only do it for *.onion

On mobile, I remember talking with Victor about kmp-tor, but I wasn't sure how it behaves with WS (I'll test it for Robosats soon BTW 😬) did you check it out @Vitor Pamplona ?

Interesting topic setting different exit nodes on demand. Maybe you can do that with https://torproject.gitlab.io/torspec/control-spec/#redirectstream , and I know the new version for kmp-tor has planned to implement it 
 I didn't check lately, but yes the idea of setting a different route per account or per subscription is key for a more private browsing using Amethyst.

Otherwise, the server can just bundle a bunch of filters together and start tracking users even without a stableish IP behind it 
 How would you manage clearnet relay connections? I guess you'd lose the privacy of Tor if some connections goes over clearnet and some over Tor? 
 No clear net connections at all.  
 If it helps.. Routing to port 9050 has been recently implemented in 0xchat NOSTR client.

 Linda noticia, probando pero por ahora solo me funciona con Orbot. Ya actualice a la ultima versión, voy a dedicarle un poco mas de tiempo a ver que puede estar fallando.

 El poder del software libre, la descentralización, sistemas "permissionless", y los devs capaces de llevarlo a cabo 😅 (incentivos)
