The Tor network is not very reliable, as it often experiences intermittent errors that can persist for weeks.

For some reason, the current implementation of Eclair does not allow for the establishment of outbound connections to clearnet addresses over Tor when

eclair.socks5.enabled = true
eclair.socks5.use-for-tor = true
eclair.socks5.use-for-ipv6 = true
eclair.socks5.use-for-ipv6 = true

As a result, unnecessary force closures occur when the connection to an onion address drops due to a Tor issue. When Eclair attempts to reconnect and fails repeatedly, it does not fall back to connecting to an available clearnet address over Tor, which could provide a more stable connection.

Additionally, I've encountered another issue that may be unrelated. When

eclair.socks5.enabled = true
eclair.socks5.use-for-tor = true
eclair.socks5.use-for-ipv6 = false
eclair.socks5.use-for-ipv6 = false

connections to onion addresses are not established at all. It appears that use-for-tor configuration parameters is not being honored, which is not the intended behavior when I initially introduced it.
