Is it possible to connect my Electrum wallet to Umbrel Electrs over local network or over Tailscale? How to?

24

Yes, it is possible to connect to electrum wallet via local network.
You will need your node’s local IP for the server field if umbrel.local doesn’t work e.g. :50001:t → 192.168.1.71:50001:t, then you can uncheck the proxy fields in the next tab.

Thank you. Seems I was missing the :t (thought that was only for Tor). This guide could be improved for sure.

this worked for me getting Electrum wallet to connect with Electrs by inserting Electrs tor address *******************************.onion:50001:t into Electrum wallet network instead of using blabla.onion:50001:t

Good LORD thank you so much.

Adding a few tiny details for people that are new like me. You have to copy the Onion address and then add :50001:t to the end so that it’s something like XYZ.onion:50001:t (there isn’t a .onion address which already has that at the end). Also, you enter that address on the “Overview” tab under “server”.

I have gone through all of these posts and replies, and still cannot connect my Electrum Desktop app to my Electrum Server running on Umbrel. :frowning:

Is there a more recent set of instructions? I saw discussion about Tor browser (not sure what that is – I’m a newbie), but some posts said you don’t need it.

Please clarify.

Is anyone else able to connect their Electrum wallet to Umbrel Electrum Server? If not, kind of defeats the purpose of buying an Umbrel – the main reason I purchased it was so I can get better privacy for my wallet.

Hello,
Indeed you need to run Tor Browser (you can download it and simply run it) in parallel of Electrum wallet.

Dm me if you need more help

OK, I got it working without Tor. I was using the address umbrel.local instead of my Umbrel’s local address (i.e. its IP address on my home network). Did not need to set anything on the proxy tab either.

So the address I entered into the Server field of the Overview tab on Electrum’s Network dialog was something like this: 192.168.1.123:50001:t. I would also recommend making this a local static IP address so it doesn’t change when you reboot your router.

Hope this helps.

Your instructions finally got me connected. Thank You!!
