Would like to make a suggestion regarding Tor configuration.
It's just a bit for improved privacy which is to uncomment the following line in /etc/tor/torrc

Code:
ExitPolicy reject *:*

This will prevent your node to be an exit node in the Tor network. Being an exit node allows for 3rd parties to get certain info from your node.
Read more here, if interested:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_(network)

Or also here:

Thanks, but I did include it exactly because of this already!
[6] Add the following contents, preferably in the right section (somewhere where there's HiddenServiceDir stuff commented out).
Code:
HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/electrs_hidden_service/
HiddenServiceVersion 3
HiddenServicePort 50001 127.0.0.1:50001

ExitPolicy reject *:* # no exits allowed

I guess I missed it! Good job!
