Is there a good writeup/tutorial on how to setup zebrad + lightwalletd out there? I am especially interested in running everything via **tor**. The zebrad config is much different from zcashd From the docs, optional tor feature is mentioned under install. But no mention of tor for the zebrad.toml config. ---

This is a good guide [![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/zcash/original/3X/4/b/4b9d8e95786a87a7fd329264cfba0e083152adb3.jpeg "Using Zcash Zebra Node with Lightwalletd: TUTORIAL") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfH5jiX8pT0) Full support for ToR (Arti) is still pending > > > In the past the Zebra node had the capability of running behind the tor network,… it was an effort made by @teor2345 . We never actually made any tests or wrote anything about how to use it and what were their capabilities. Some time after we had to disable the support because of dependency issues (https://github.com/ZcashFoundation/zebra/issues/5492). > > This is a list of tasks where the plan is to re enable the support and go a step beyond what we had by detailing what it is possible when zebra runs with arti support: > > \- \[x\] #5492 ---

The overall setup is described here [Lightwalletd - The Zebra Book](https://zebra.zfnd.org/user/lightwalletd.html) But there is not explicit support for tor yet. ---

Tnx, great guide, just the version tag is outdated, got it running and syncing now. I tested out just a normal tor proxy setup using tor and iptables, so all the traffic from the server, including zebrad goes through tor. Hope to see tor get implemented soon to lightwalletd and zashi. The recommended setup with a letsencrypt just hurts my soul, considering its a privacy coin 😅
