It wasn't designed to work with tor only. It's not an .onion address. It
does work with tor, as any site would. I can also access it through my
phone, and my VPN is connecting from someplace like Idaho or something on
that device. I don't remember exactly where I have it pointing. My
nephew in Va. also can access it, and has joined my bbs... That's weird.
But yeah, you're right. I just ran nmap on the hostname and it says it's
not there. But tor and my vpn in idaho (or wherever) connects with no
problem. Hmmm...

Apparently, you are all right. I don't understand why my VPN and tor are
still telling me the site is up, though. And nmap also agrees with y'all.
It's looking for the yaml file (all of a sudden at somplace like
/C:/windowscrap/andmorewindowscrap). Apparently the system upgraded it and
the call for version 295 wasn't changed in the ngrok.service file (the
latest in my snap dir is 315, and 295 is non-existent). I fixed the
service file, now I've got to find the yaml file. Thank God for "find"
because I can't remember where it is... lol...
I've got tinkering to do. Fixed the .yml path... still won't run. I
still don't understand why tor and my phone can find it through those
vpns... ?
