Hi !
I run Bitcoin Full Node trough Tor + Electrum with EPS + Trezor
While setting up Bitcoin core config file i have set  walletbroadcast= to 0  as it says in this tutorial https://github.com/chris-belcher/electrum-personal-server/blob/master/README.md
All works well, i receive transactions, but when i want to send a transaction from my Bitcoin core wallet (not electrum) my transaction doesn't go trough, i get a message " unconfirmed, not in memory pool".
I found out that if  i change walletbroadcast to 1 my transactions will go trough. I did so, transaction went thought, and even bitcoin core was still connected to only onion nodes.
In forums i was suggested to use these two methods described below, but im very new to this and dont know exactly how to do it, especially #2 method is very confusing to me.
#1 use the RPC functionality to broadcast the transaction with command: sendrawtransaction
#2 use a script like this: https://github.com/laanwj/bitcoin-submittx which seems to have been purposely designed for working with "walletbroadcast=0" configs.
Can someone please give me a step by step instruction on how to broadcast transactions trough those methods above when walletbroadcast= is set to 0, or what is the best practice in this case, maybe its just easier to change walletbroadcast= to 1 every time i want to send transaction, then to change back to 0? since changing it to 1 i still somehow connect to onion nodes.

The first time the EPS starts, it’ll import all configured addresses as watch-only into the Bitcoin node, and then exit. If your wallet contains old transactions, you’ll need to rescan the local copy of the blockchain for any transactions in your wallet.

Do this by dragging config.ini onto the batch script electrum-personal-server-rescan.bat. That should open a command prompt where you’ll be asked for a date to rescan from. Enter a date (in the format DD/MM/YYYY) from where you would like to start importing addresses (the further back, the longer time it will take) and hit return. You’ll get a suggestion of a block height to start from. Type y and hit return. Wait for the rescanning to finish (the server will exit once finished).

If you don’t rescan and open an old wallet, the balance will show 0 as it doesn’t know about any old transactions (you can always do a rescan later to see the transactions).

Now you can start the server “for real”.

Thank you very much HCP & nc50lc. I know understand it

in this tutorial it says https://github.com/chris-belcher/electrum-personal-server/blob/master/README.md

But I did as you suggested and set walletbroadcast= to 1, transaction went thought, and even bitcoin core was still connected to only onion nodes.
The Question is
1. If even with walletbroadcast=1 i manage to connect to onion nodes, then what was the point of setting it to walletbroadcast=0 in the first place?
2. Do i compromise privacy when walletbroadcast is set to 0?
3. Is there a way sending transaction from Bitcoin core wallet with walletbroadcast=0 or i need to change it back and forth every time i want to send a transaction from bitcoin wallet?
