# Tor hidden service

Install Tor on your server and client machines (assuming Ubuntu/Debian):

```
$ sudo apt install tor
```

Add the following config to `/etc/tor/torrc`:
```
HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/
HiddenServiceVersion 3
HiddenServicePort 50001 127.0.0.1:50001
```

Restart the service:
```
$ sudo systemctl restart tor
```

Note: your server's onion address is stored under:
```
$ sudo cat /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/hostname
<your-onion-address>.onion
```

On your client machine, run the following command (assuming Tor proxy service runs on port 9050):
```
$ electrum --oneserver --server <your-onion-address>.onion:50001:t --proxy socks5:127.0.0.1:9050
```
