Hi,

I’m trying to use arti\_client API to connect to my Onion hidden service but I can’t create a TorClientConfig object with allow\_onion\_addrs set to TRUE. If I try to build a TorClientConfig with the following code:

> let config = TorClientConfig::builder().address\_filter().allow\_onion\_addrs(true).build();

I get ClientAddrConfig instead of a TorClientConfig.

Is this the right behaviour? How can I create a TorClientConfig with allow\_onion\_addrs set to TRUE?

Best regards,  
Sérgio Carvalho

Hi!

The `address_filter()` function returns a `&mut` reference to a sub-builder of type `ClientAddrConfigBuilder`. (That sub-builder is a member of the `TorClientConfigBuilder`.)

I think what you want to do here is more like:

```auto
let mut cfg_builder = TorClientConfig::builder();
cfg_builder.address_filter().allow_onion_addrs(true);
let config = cfg_builder.build();

```

Hope this helps!

You right! My bad!

Thanks for the help!
