Ipfs over Libp2p over Websockets over Tor

Issues

There is no official implementation for libp2p to use tor. It seems to work well, but we need to find optimal configuration. Below you can find issues we ran into and solutions to them. This should give you some level of understanding what kind of issues you can expect.

For some peers it takes very long time to connect to other peers

It turned out that limiting parallel dials in libp2p connectionManager (do not confuse with connectionsManager) solved the issue. Tor doesn't handle establishing/receiving many connections at the same time.
