The easiest option is to acivate Tor on the RaspiBlitz and on the computer used for Electrum and [configure a Tor Hidden Service for Electrs](Tor_Hidden_Service_for_Electrs.md)

## Configure a Tor Hidden Service for Electrs
Tor needs to be active on the RaspiBlitz to use this method.
No port forwarding or dynamicDNS required.
### On the RaspiBlitz terminal:
* Open the Tor configuration file:
`# nano /mnt/hdd/tor/torrc`
* Insert the lines:
```
# Hidden Service for Electrum Server
HiddenServiceDir /mnt/hdd/tor/electrs
HiddenServiceVersion 3
HiddenServicePort 50001 127.0.0.1:50001
```
* Restart Tor:
`# systemctl restart tor`
`# systemctl restart tor@default`
* Show the Tor address:
`# cat /mnt/hdd/tor/electrs/hostname`
## On a Linux PC:
* Start electrum with the Tor Browser open (proxy on port 9150):
`$ electrum --oneserver --server Tor_address.onion:50001:t --proxy socks5:127.0.0.1:9150`
* With Tor installed and running(proxy on port 9050):
`$ electrum --oneserver --server Tor_address.onion:50001:t --proxy socks5:127.0.0.1:9050`
