Inside the Network section on my wallet, under the Proxy options, the option to "Use Tor Proxy at port 9050" constantly disappears and I am unable to connect to my node. Any idea why this is?
That particular "
Use Tor Proxy at port" setting appears if Tor is detected by Electrum, disappears once Electrum failed to detect Tor.
(
with a few seconds delay)
If it disappears consistently, your Tor daemon in the machine where Electrum is, may be having issues.
So you might have to troubleshoot Tor rather than Electrum.
Since you've mentioned that your Tor proxy running at port 9050, you must be using 'Tor daemon' instead of 'browser' unless you changed the port from 9150 to 9050.
If you're somehow using Tor Browser, opening and closing the browser window will reproduce that issue; appear and disappear respectively.
