I’ve never had trouble with Sparrow wallet before... I’m trying to use the Tor Browser as a proxy, and connect to a public node like nostr:npub1tr4dstaptd2sp98h7hlysp8qle6mw7wmauhfkgz3rmxdd8ndprusnw2y5g or Bitaroo.

The browser is open, and I have toggled “use proxy” on, entered “localhost” as the Proxy URL, and set the port as 9150 (I’ve also tried 9050).

Tried restarting the browser and the wallet. Tried changing servers. Even changed my VPN in case Sparrow was scared of serving American users. All with no luck…

Did something change in Sparrow or Tor? The setup above has always worked perfectly before.

Weird. There was an error that said something like “illegal state” in the bottom right of the application when trying to connect via tor. I changed my VPN server from

Costa Rica to Cayman Islands, restarted Sparrow & Tor, and then it worked.

“State” doesn’t actually mean location, does it? Assuming a “state” error has to do with the software. But idk, and now it’s working.

Craig if you’re on nostr much and see this, I’m happy to provide more info as a bug report if possible. But not sure how I’d replicate it 🤔
