Bitcoin Through Tor

Question

I've been running Bitcoin Core (28.1) successfully on my Mac (latest version) trough tor (latest version) but it wasn't accepting incoming connections. I did:

torc config file:

ControlPort 9051
CookieAuthentication 1
CookieAuthFileGroupReadable 1

bitcoin.config

server=1
txindex=1
bind=127.0.0.1
onlynet=onion
externalip=my.onion.address (tried with and without, doesnt make a difference)
(in gui i've ticked accept incoming connections and run through socks5 proxy)

I still have 10 outbound connections, but 1 inbound one, it says unroutable, and there is a local IP there (starts with 127). Also, bitnodes says I am unreachable (once said was reachable). In debug window I got that message about advertising tor with my onion address.

Can someone please clarify what that 1 inbound connections is and how to set up for incoming connections? Thanks!
