Summary

Adds a focused Tor onion service section to the Running A Full Node guide for bounty #1712.

The guidance is intentionally P2P-only:

  • documents automatic onion service setup through Tor control authentication
  • documents manual torrc setup for Bitcoin's P2P port 8333
  • explains that RPC port 8332 must not be published as a Tor onion service
  • adds verification steps using getnetworkinfo and addnode ... onetry
  • links to Bitcoin Core's current Tor documentation for deeper configuration notes

Bounty

Addresses #1712.

BTC bounty payment address: 39Q34P8A7g375yqEr8buvNJkUbRgKfbKQZ

Testing

  • git diff --check -- en/full-node.md

Full local Jekyll build was not run because this workspace has Ruby 2.6.10 while the repository pins Ruby 2.5.8 in the Gemfile.
