Hello together,
since days I try to connect the Electrum desktop wallet (macos) via tor with the umbrel node (according the umbrel-tutorial in the section “Connect wallet”). Tor is running successfully as a background service and is listening on port localhost:9050.
Umbrel runs on a raspPi4 with SSD over wifi. The BTC-Chain is synced since around 2 weeks.
Would be great if any being here would have the patience to help me to bring up this node successfully… Thank you!
Tor is a bit silly lately.
There’s a patch 4.7.7 but you will need to update your UmbrelOS. Better wait for umbrel guys to update it, if you do not know how to do it.
Another trick is to use local IP of your node to connect to your electrum server.
But for that also you need to open the port 50001 in umbrel ufw.
And that’s it, you can connect on local IP:50001 with your electrum app. No more Tor.
Another trick is to use Tailscale, in special when you are out of your LAN. Works nice. Private VPN.
Ok sorry….this came from lacy mind.
I had to install it first “sudo apt install ufw”
So I changed the rules as you suggested and edited the “network —> server” entry in electrum with 192.168.0.110:50001” and let the “proxy” checkboxes unchecked….
Hello DarthCoin,
this command is not working properly on my Umbrel (0.5.1)
umbrel@umbrel:~ $ sudo apt-get install ufw -y

The problem seems to be “failureresolving ‘deb.debian.org’”
Otherwise my Node seems to run fine.
Btw. the output is the same when I use
sudo apt install ufw
or
sudo apt-get install ufw
Update: I had a hunch that it might be caused by a faulty DNS entry in dhcp.conf.
It was set to
static domain_name_servers=192.168.x.1 (my router)
I set it to the first one of the DNS servers configured in my router.
Now I could install and enable ufw
But now all my channels are offline!
I run this set of commands:
