Title: Armory and TOR? Post by: japerry on October 07, 2014, 04:20:11 PM Hello Everyone!
I'm trying to set up Armory to run with the current Bitcoin-QT with the proxy set to run through TOR. If I start Armory while Bitcoin-QT is proxied through TOR, Armory can't connect. What do I need to do so that Armory can connect to either bitcoind or bitcoin-qt with the proxy set to TOR? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Title: Re: Armory and TOR?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! FYI - There's a few threads on this subforum already about this. I wont' repeat them but they should be easier to find. But when you do find them, I'll tell you something you can share with them: the latest release 0.92.3 adds options explicitly for using Armory with Tor. You can either use "--tor" from the command line (best option), or load Armory once and go into the settings and select the Tor-friendly option there. There was some issues with previous versions of Armory doing various checks outside the proxy. Make sure you're using the latest. Title: Re: Armory and TOR?

I'll look for the other threads and educate as needed. I think Armory is great and I'm glad to see such a wonderful wallet program available to all. Title: Re: Armory and TOR? Post by: japerry on October 07, 2014, 04:44:42 PM So are you saying that the latest version of Armory will start bitcoind in TOR mode? If I have the TOR client running on my computer and I start Armory it will start bitcoind in TOR mode? If that is true then I am truly impressed!
