Hey Folks,

at the moment i run a normal full node but i would like to run a

hybrid full node, so broadcasting to clearnet and tor net at the same time.

--------

i found the following link:

"By default, anyone with access to your network can see when data is uploaded, making it easy to tell when you’re making BTC payments. You can make this much harder to trace by routing Bitcoin Core network traffic through Tor using ‘Onion Routing’.

To get started, head over here. Click on ‘Windows’ to download the ‘Expert Bundle’.

Right click the file and ‘Extract all’. Open the new directory, then the one named ‘Tor’. Double click on Tor.exe. If Windows Defender shows an alert, click ‘More Info’ then ‘Run anyway’.

Return to Bitcoin Core. Click ‘Settings’ then ‘Options’. Choose the ‘Network’ tab and tick the checkbox marked ‘Use separate SOCKS5 Proxy to reach peers via Tor hidden services’. Click ‘OK’, then ‘File’ > ‘Exit’.

From now on Bitcoin Core will connect to peers via Tor. This makes it much harder to trace payments, but will also massively slow down the time it takes to sync with the network."

So it works like that?

-Run TOR like described above
-Run Code
= Broadcasting clearnet and tornet at the same time?


Is anyone else doing that here Smiley ?



Thx
