Using Crypto Wallet With TOR

In the digital age, cryptocurrencies have become a significant part of our financial landscape. However, with the convenience of cryptocurrencies also comes a need for enhanced security and privacy. One powerful tool for achieving this is TOR, a network that can help you maintain anonymity while conducting crypto transactions.

First step is to select a crypto wallet which is compatible with TOR,

Selecting a TOR-Compatible Crypto Wallet

Not all crypto wallets are TOR-compatible. When choosing a wallet, look for one that supports TOR integration. Some popular options include:

• • Electrum: An open-source wallet that supports TOR out of the box.

• • Wasabi Wallet: A privacy-focused Bitcoin wallet that uses TOR by default.

• • Samourai Wallet: Another Bitcoin wallet designed with privacy in mind which allows TOR integration.

Second step, you need to download TOR Web Browser from  TOR Web Website http://torwebbrowser.com/. Than you need to configure it by connecting it to the VPN and TOR Browser.

Once your TOR browser is up and running, you can configure your crypto wallet to use it as well. Here is how you can configure your crypto wallet.

• • Open your crypto wallet and navigate to the settings or preferences section.

• • Look for an option related to network or proxy settings.

• • Enable the option to use a SOCKS5 proxy and enter “localhost” as the proxy address, and “9050” as the port (default TOR proxy settings).

• • Save your changes and restart your crypto wallet.

After doing that your crypto wallet is configured to route its traffic from the TOR Browser which makes you anonymous and add an extra layer of privacy to your system.

Lastly, to secure your crypto transactions you can do the following:

1. 1. Use strong, unique passwords.
   2. Keep your wallet software updated.
   3. Backup your wallet.
