Running a #RaspiBlitz with #tor & #electrum enabled. I'd like to use it with #SparrowWallet, but when I try to connect to the onion URL I get "SOCKS Server can not connect."

I have gone through docs for both ams do not see how to address tbis specific problem. Any help is welcome.

Double check server settings in Sparrow.

Thats where I am. Took the RaspiBlitz electrum onion address and pasted it with port identifier. When I test connection it goes through all hand shakes, but times with SOCK server failure.

I asked Claude Ai:

I'd be happy to help you with this issue. However, please note that I cannot directly open or interact with URLs, links, or videos. If you have any relevant text, code snippets, or error messages, feel free to paste them directly into our conversation, and I'll do my best to assist you.

Some potential troubleshooting steps we could try:

1. **Verify Tor connectivity**: Make sure that Tor is running and accessible on your RaspiBlitz. You can try connecting to a test onion service like `http://expyuzz4wssl6npor2ltk5wkdqmtj47lirhk4xt7tuoentrpff5wgid.onion` to confirm Tor is working correctly.

2. **Check RaspiBlitz Tor configuration**: Ensure that the Tor and Electrum configurations on your RaspiBlitz are set up correctly. You may need to adjust settings like the Tor control port or Electrum's Tor proxy settings.

3. **Verify Sparrow Wallet Tor settings**: Double-check that you have configured Sparrow Wallet to use the correct Tor proxy settings, including the correct onion address and port for your RaspiBlitz's Electrum server.

4. **Check firewall rules**: Make sure that your firewall rules on the RaspiBlitz and/or the device running Sparrow Wallet are not blocking the necessary Tor or Electrum connections.

5. **Review logs**: Check the relevant logs (e.g., Tor, Electrum, RaspiBlitz) for any error messages or clues that could help identify the issue.

If you can provide any specific error messages, configuration files, or log excerpts, that would be helpful in diagnosing the problem further.
