TLS does not protect against metadata analysis in terms of knowing when does who communicate. They just don't know what is being communicated.

You'd use Tor if the server wasn't yours and you wanted to protect your privacy.Īctually everyone who can listen to the traffic inbetween (including the ISP) knows that you are communicating with the server. Unless I missed something, it doesn't make sense to me. Information won't be transparent, both your main & remote pc will communicate using encryption.

No one will know what you're doing if you connect to your electrum server through port 50002. Any further thoughts to help me better understand this issue? What is the difference b/w an "electrum server" and my full node? Why are the address for my node different on wasabi versus electrum? What does it mean to "install Tor?" Why did the tor proxy tab at 9050 disappear? and then I have to dl tor? Other Questions I am now struggling with:

I do not understand the difference b/w the TOR browswer and the TOR I was forced to download this morning. I'll be honest, I dont know the difference between and "electrum server" and a full node. Now that part is working again, but still constantly syncing. So I had to download this program called "homebrew" and then download TOR. Interestingly, that button for TOR PROXY had disappeared this morning, no idea why, but I couldnt connect at all. Then, under proxy I have selected TOR PROXY at 9050. I unchecked the "select server automatically" and pasted the data from my umbrel node (I don't want to paste here for privacy concerns), but I pasted that in the area where it says "server."

This indicates I am successfully connected to my node - or at least the umbrel site indicates so. I am running a full node using have been running it for over 6 months and using it with COLD CARD and ELECTRUM - the network circle in the bottom right has always been the color blue.
