See : [https://github.com/zcash/zcash/blob/master/doc/tor.md](https://github.com/zcash/zcash/blob/master/doc/tor.md)

Note : Use proxy=127.0.0.1:9150 instead to connect Zcash via the TBB (Tor Browser Bundle). However, for your privacy and security it is best to run Zcash via the Tor Expert Bundle.

**EDIT** : Consider adding **dnsseed=0** for optimal privacy for **Tor 1** and **Zcash 1** - Proxified Zcash (example - see below thread).

" -dnsseed - Query for peer addresses via DNS lookup, if low on addresses (default: 1 unless -connect/-noconnect) "

Also consider **onlynet=onion** which will enforce using only the specified [addnode=.onion](http://addnode=.onion) addresses from your zcash.conf .
