Solved the issue.
Having more time to troubleshoot the issue i noticed i also had a connection refused using port 9150 when i changed ports. so i guess this may be an issue with my nginx because i proxy apache through it so since nginx is used as a reverse proxy i unticked *Use tor to pull exchange rates*
After doing so the error mentioned in the post above this is gone.
However the same problem with exchange rates not showing in the front end was still there.
From here i had to take a look at the Exchange rates providers 1 by 1 and make sure api was correct for the one’s that needed it.
Turns out the only provider’s that work for me are
Coingecko
Coincap
Cryptocompare
(I don’t use fixer or neither have i tested it during this troubleshoot)
Using any of those 3 provider’s the rates now show as expected on the front end.
Not sure if anyone else had this issue however if anyone does hopes this helps.
