SSH over Tor to mynodebtc terminal shell

Using Tor Browser remotely to access mynodebtc's web GUI, and then Settings > Linux Terminal is broken. The ASCII is completely illegible.

This guide will explain how to access mynodebtc's terminal shell over SSH via Tor daemon (9050) or with Tor Browser proxy (9150).

I have SSH to mynode on OSX working with Tor Browser using these instructions 🤓 :

https://lorenzo.mile.si/ssh-through-tor-on-macos/948/

brew install nmap

Launch Tor Browser and wait for it to connect (port 9150)

ssh -o ProxyCommand="ncat --proxy-type socks5 --proxy 127.0.0.1:9150 %h %p" admin@mynodebtc_SSH_toraddress.onion -p 22022

(The SSH address is from http://mynode.local/tor)

This also works with OSX brew's tor daemon on port 9050 by running $ tor in a separate terminal tab with

ssh -o ProxyCommand="ncat --proxy-type socks5 --proxy 127.0.0.1:9050 %h %p" admin@mynodebtc_SSH_toraddress.onion -p 22022

For Linux users, you can install ncat with sudo apt install nmap

You need to allow additional permissions. Look at the address bar and click on the icon to the left of the 'onion' (looks like a picture, mountain and sun maybe?). Allow "Extract Canvas Data" and reload and it will look fine. I don't know the security implications, but since its your node I imagine it's fine.
