Currently you can use Tor in two ways
- Connect SatSale to your Bitcoin node over a tor hidden service
- Host SatSale as a Tor onion
Bitcoin Node RPC Hidden Service
On your Bitcoin node machine install tor and in /etc/tor/torrc
:
HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/node_rpc/
HiddenServicePort 8332 127.0.0.1:8332
then
sudo systemctl restart tor
cat /var/lib/tor/node_rpc/hostname
to get the onion URL for your tor hidden service. Add this in config.toml
like tor_bitcoinrpc_host = "http://u7...bid.onion"
On your SatSale machine, install tor and in /etc/tor/torrc
(thanks @x_y:matrix.org):
SocksPort 127.0.0.1:9050 IsolateClientProtocol IsolateDestPort IsolateDestAddr ExtendedErrors IPv6Traffic PreferIPv6 KeepAliveIsolateSOCKSAuth
SocksPolicy accept 127.0.0.1
SocksPolicy reject *
Now start the tor proxy on your SatSale machine with sudo tor
and SatSale is now configured to connect to your node over tor.
On your SatSale machine, install tor and in /etc/tor/torrc
:
HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/satsale/
HiddenServiceVersion 3
HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:8000
then
sudo systemctl restart tor
cat /var/lib/tor/satsale/hostname
to get your onion URL. Go visit!
Note that this will only work in some Tor browsers, and often not in the official Tor Browser unless you fully enable javascript etc.
