My BlueWallet on my phone is failing to connect to my Umbrel. My node is 100% synced and all my other wallets on my laptop connect to it. Any ideas why this issue popped up all of a sudden? Was working fine yesterday. Even tried deleting the node info out of BlueWallet and reconnecting, but still nothing. Any ideas what the issue could be? ---

Tor. Is nothing wrong with your node or BW app. Is just Tor that sometimes is not working. Try using BW + orbot (not the integrated Tor in BW) ---

I was thinking that might be the case. I’m on iOS so no other way to access tor there far as I’m aware. ---

We are in 2021 and I still do not understand why people still use that useless iShit? Get a damn decent android phone and throw away that dumb ishit. ---

Just did a restart on my Umbrel and now Sparrow and Blue are connecting again as normal. Good to go. So, if anyone’s Umbrel is running fine/synced but wallets aren’t connecting, there’s an option to try. ---

Are you running the most current version? Also, have you tried the “Restart” option on the settings page to reboot it? I would make sure to use the most updated version of everything, wallets included, and try a restart on the node. ---

In this guide, I explained step by step how to connect a BW mobile app to Umbrel node. There are 2 ways and I see that people still don’t get it. > [@Umbrel + BlueWallet + LNDHub](http://community.umbrel.com/t/umbrel-bluewallet-lndhub/497/): > > Description This is a major step forward for all node operators. Why? Because is one more step for a node in becoming a “Bitcoin Sovereign Bank”, being a HUB for your family, friends and all those who do not/can’t have a node for themselves. Practically you can “rent” them space and liquidity from your node. More details about [LNDhub here](https://bluewallet.io/lndhub/) and also here is [the announcement from Bluewallet team](https://bluewallet.io/BlueWallet-brings-zero-configuration-Lightning-payments-to-iOS-and-Android-30137a69f071/). There’s a very important aspect in Bitcoin world and few understand it: custodial wallets (your fun… ---

Thanks I had the same issue. I didn’t know Orbot would help.
