Hi all,
I've set up my electrum wallet a while ago, but when I started it up today there was no network connection (i.e. a red orb in the bottom right corner). This error occurred for me first today on the standalone version of 2.8.2. after this build failed to connect to the network I downloaded the latest version (2.9.0 full install, not standalone) and loaded my wallet into it.
This, however, still didn't relieve my connection issues. I have tried to edit "Network options" by using SSL, SOCKS5, Localhost and ports 9050 and 9150. And have restarted the software multiple times.
Unfortunately, nothing seems to fix my issue, and googling around for half an hour hasn't yielded any positive results so far either.
Can anyone help me out and tell me how to get my electrum wallet to connect to the network?
Thanks in advance!
Similar to w00ty21 I followed the instructions of electrum documentation to connect my electrum wallet (version 2.9.3) via TOR network using port 9150, SOCKS5 - i.e. starting electrum like: “C:Program Files (x86)Electrumelectrum.exe” -s electrums3lojbuj.onion:50001:t -p socks5:localhost:9150.
However, connection takes long with repeated drop outs and when I get a connection, the network connection button is blue instead of green
Since I am a beginner, maybe someone can answer the following questions I have:
1) What is the meaning of a blue connection button in the electrum network window ?
2) How do I connect my electrum wallet in case of using Win10 -> VPN -> TOR, using an onion server for electrum ?
