Title: How to view the wallet's IP address? (Trying to use proxy) Post by: NoahWL1 on January 20, 2016, 10:08:13 PM I'm trying to use a proxy with my wallet that requires authentication. I couldn't find a whole lot on this, but I was able to get the wallet to launch and connect to the network with the option "-proxy=proxyusername:proxypassword@proxyaddress.com:23". However, I'm not sure if it's working or not. How can I check the address my wallet is using, to check if it is using the proxy? Is there a console command or other way I can view it? Thanks.

Open Help > Debug Window and go to the peers tab. Click on one of the peers and in the area on the right of the window, it should show info about that peer. At the top it will say something likeCode: 37.187.151.83:8333 (node id: 5) Title: Re: How to view the wallet's IP address?

You don't need to do things like that. I suggest you to use Tor, VPN or public wifi for hiding your ip. You could google how to set up them. There is no need to configure the bitcoin wallets you are using. I got one tutorial for you! https://bitcoinhelp.net/know/more/using-bitcoin-anonymously |
