nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 can the built-in node be run over Tor (via Orbot SOCKS5 proxy)?
Discussion
Yessir!
To be sure, this is without using the Orbot VPN feature?
(That's nice to have, but if you're already using a VPN, there is only one "slot" - either the VPN (wireguard, etc) or Orbot)
I am asking to make sure because I had a look a couple of days ago and could not find the option (SOCKS5 proxy).
Could you point me in the right direction? Thanks!
Ah, haven’t tested that. Works w VPN mode for sure though
Studying this further, it seems that it is only possible to connect over Tor by connecting Zeus to a node (not on the device).
There is no option for the local lnd to run over Tor.
Consider it a feature request :) It would be great if the local node can run over Tor, and if the user has the option to set it up to work over Tor before any connection from the wallet and any node setup is made.
No need to embed a Tor binary or anything with the app, it can just try to connect to 127.0.0.1:9050 where Orbot listens.
Not sure if there is some sort of API to drive Orbot on Android that would be more elegant, but I can assure you connecting to a SOCKS5 proxy at that address will work.
