Tor
First ensure that you have installed torsocks
(sudo apt install tor
) and have tor
running in the background. You can now enable tor=True
in the config to connect to remote public nodes over tor.
xmrSale over tor
Currently you can use Tor in two ways 1) Connect xmrSale to your Monero node over a tor hidden service (if you're connecting to a remote node, may be preferable to SSH tunneling). 2) Host xmrSale as a Tor onion site
Monero Node RPC Hidden Service
On your Monero node install tor and in /etc/tor/torrc
:
HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/node_rpc/
HiddenServicePort NODE_RPC_PORT 127.0.0.1:NODE_RPC_PORT
HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/wallet_rpc/
HiddenServicePort WALLET_RPC_PORT 127.0.0.1:WALLET_RPC_PORT
with the appropriate NODE_RPC_PORT () and WALLET_RPC_PORT () 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.py
like tor_bitcoinrpc_host = "http://u7...bid.onion"
On your xmrSale 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 xmrSale machine with sudo tor
and xmrSale is now configured to connect to your node at localhost over tor.
xmrSale Tor .Onion
It's possible to run xmrSale on an onion site. However, currently this will only work in some Tor browsers, and likely not in the official Tor Browser unless you fully enable javascript which is a bad idea. This is something we would like to change in the future.
On your xmrSale machine, install tor and in /etc/tor/torrc
:
HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/xmrsale/
HiddenServiceVersion 3
HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:8000
then
sudo systemctl restart tor
cat /var/lib/tor/xmrsale/hostname
to get your onion URL. Go visit!
