![]() ![]() It is difficult to be completely anonymous since the sender and the receiver know, however, you can obfuscate your transaction origin so that your data cannot be traced by IP address without breaching the Tor network. See Appendix 1 - Monitoring Tor for nyx and access to full Tor configuration options. Tor can be configured to only connect out using port 80/443 if that helps. If you are behind a restrictive firewall it may be necessary to configure outbound connections to allow Tor to connect out to other Tor nodes. It is not necessary to configure port forwarding on your modem/router for Tor to operate. In the debug.log, connections to onion peers will only look like the following but still show up in the peers tab of the debug window on bitcoin-qt: 06:34:07 receive version message: /Satoshi:0.15.1/: version 70015, blocks=508469, us=:0, peer=7 ![]() The advertising service information is your onion service address. Run the following command: ps -eo user,group,comm |egrep 'tor' |awk '.onion:8333 You need to figure out what group tor is using. Open the torrc file to edit: xhost +local: # skip if earlier than v29 only needed for WaylandĪdd these lines to your torrc (or ensure that they are uncommented): ControlPort 9051 Start the tor daemon and make sure it starts at boot: sudo systemctl enable torįigure out where your torrc file is ( /etc/tor/torrc is one possibility). Install the tor package: sudo dnf install tor You will still need to use all of the following steps in this guide. NOTE: You do not need to configure your Tor client as a relay or exit node for Tor to operate, so you can skip the step for 'Put the configuration file /etc/tor/torrc place:' in that guide. There are some instructions for setting up Tor on Windows here.įurther instructions for other *nix based systems are available here. The configuration is the same on Windows, but the instructions are different. Fedora is a modern operating system that will run on most standard modern hardware. ![]() These instructions work on Fedora 23>29 and assume a default setup of Bitcoin Core v0.15.1 and Tor v0.2.7.1 or newer ( and have been tested to work with Bitcoin Core v0.16.0 on Fedora 27 with Tor v0.3.1.9). With the standard 'off-the-grid' Tor setup, your Bitcoin traffic will be routed through the anonymous Tor network before reaching the public internet and other Bitcoin nodes on and off the Tor network to be effectively untraceable. With the full privacy setup, transactions will of course still be broadcast but will only be broadcast actually onto the public internet by other Bitcoin nodes. Using these steps you can be anonymous in only five minutes. ![]() Little configuration is required to be 'off the grid' and, just a tiny bit more to be completely anonymous if that is important to you, with none of your Bitcoin traffic reaching out onto the public internet. When Tor is correctly setup on your system, Bitcoin Core automatically identifies Tor and creates an anonymous service. This is not a thorough schooling on Tor and only shows how to configure it to work together with Bitcoin Core. ![]()
