What you're trying to do is illogical. Normally, your local system
resolves localhost to 127.0.0.1 which is the âloopbackâ address to talk
to itself. Over Tor this is meaningless, as your exit node isn't on
your local machine. If you want to test a Tor connection to your server
then you'll need to expose it to the Internet and use its external
address rather than localhost. Alternatively, set it up as a hidden
service and test using its .onion address.
