Command syntax for Linux systems: ### Windows Shortcut for Electrum
* To always connect to your node when clicking the Electrum-shortcut go to `C:\Program Files (x86)\Electrum` and look for `electrum-3.3.8.exe`. Right click and choose `create shortcut` - when asked for creation on the Desktop click `Yes`.
* Go to your Desktop and right click the Electrum shortcut and choose `Properties`. Look for `Target` and replace the string with the following:
* #### For an unencrypted TCP connection (only to be used inside a secure LAN) * **Local encrypted connection:**
`$ electrum --oneserver --server RASPIBLITZ_IP:50001:t` `"C:\Program Files (x86)\Electrum\electrum-3.3.8.exe" --oneserver --server 192.168.X.X:50002:s`
* #### To connect through SSL * **Tor connection:**
* Take note of the `TOR_ADRESS.onion` on the RaspiBlitz:
`$ sudo cat /mnt/hdd/tor/electrs/hostname`
* paste in the `Target`:
`"C:\Program Files (x86)\Electrum\electrum-3.3.8.exe" --oneserver --server TOR_ADRESS.onion:50002:s --proxy socks5:127.0.0.1:9150`
* Save the settings.
* Every time you open Electrum with that shortcut you will have your own custom node settings.
### Linux syntax to start Electrum:
* To connect through SSL:
`$ electrum --oneserver --server YOUR_DOMAIN:50002:s` `$ electrum --oneserver --server YOUR_DOMAIN:50002:s`
