Thank you - this is the exact sort of answer I hoped for. Just need to figure out how to edit bitcoin.conf file and how to find my Tor actual.onion address.
Will try to do this later today.

The config file is in your home directory: ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf and your onion address should be revealed by the command 'bitcoin-cli getnetworkinfo'.

bitcoin-cli getnetworkinfo
reports
'error: timeout on transcient error: Could not connect to server 127.0.0.1.8332
Make sure the bitcoind server is running and that you are connecting to the correct RPC port.'

Thanks but how do I edit the config file? Do I need a special application to do that?

You need a text editor. I like using a console based editor, like Vim, but you probably prefer a GUI one. Gedit was a popular one a few years ago, when I used the Gnome desktop environment. Any 'editor', 'notepad' or similar program you find on your 'tools' or 'office' menu or similar should do. It's just a text file.

Ok thanks again- will try Gedit.

PS just enabled RPC port in oprions and restarting- maybe can help connection re error above.
