1. Can you reach the relay through another Tor client? For instance, on Linux and Windows:

$ curl -x socks5h://127.0.0.1:9150 -H "Content-type: text/json+nostr" -Lv RELAY_URL

(on windows, make that `curl.exe` instead.)

If you get a response, good! Onward. If you don't, make sure that:

- You have a hidden service configured in torrc.
- Your hidden service points to your relay.
- Is it using HTTP or HTTPS? Depending on what, it is either ws: or wss: respectively - the additional "s" means "secure". Think of it like copying the stray S from HTTPS.

2. Make sure your Nostr client uses tor.

Amethyst can do that on Android, and on other platforms, just use the Tor browser, or link your standard browser to use the Tor proxy. Only then can you also access tor relays, respectively.
