Hi,

I'm trying to get an .auth_private client authorization file working with v17.8.0-RC3. I'm on /e/OS 3.7.3 (Android 14).

What I know works

• I can access ordinary hosts via Tor - testing with Termux and curl, I can see that the IP address when using curl --socks5 127.0.0.1:9050 I get a different "unknown" IP address from ip.me than if I don't use the --socks5 proxy. Without, it gives me my local ISP connection's IP address.
• I can access onion sites via Tor - testing with Termux: curl --socks5-hostname 127.0.0.1:9050 https://duckduckgogg42xjoc72x3sjasowoarfbgcmvfimaftt6twagswzczad.onion/
• I can also get a connection to the same hosts using ncat -v --proxy-type socks5 --proxy 127.0.0.1:9050
• When using the .auth_private file on a Linux desktop - I can access the hidden service fine.

What breaks

I have imported the same .auth_private file I used on the Linux desktop above into Orbot. When connecting to the hidden onion service, I get this error when using the same ncat command above - just changing the onion address and port:

Ncat: Error: general SOCKS server failure.

I have double checked that the onion address is 100% correct.

In the Orbot logs, it says:

NOTICE: Fail to decrypt descriptor for requested onion address. It is likely requiring client authorization.

What am I doing wrong?
