Hi - I'm in the process of setting up my Bitcoin Core node and would then like to connect my BlueWallet to Bitcoin Core. Where do I find the correct IP address and secure port? Thanks in advance for any help!

You need to install Electrum server; my guide for doing that on openSUSE is
here. It also explains which Onion address (better than IP; built-in encryption, tunneling, static) and port to use.
You basically get it from
/var/lib/tor/<hidden_service_name>/hostname; then you can use
http://<whateveritspitout>.onion:50001 in your SPV wallet.
Do be aware that if you use push notifications in BlueWallet, your transaction info will still be sent to the devs' servers, who then push notifications about confirmations and such, to Google / Apple servers, which finally deliver the notification to your phone. Kind of defeats the purpose to use a private Electrum server.
Unless you host the push notification service yourself, too; it's called
Ground Control, but I haven't tried it as I don't use this wallet.
