BIP 151 is supposed to fix this but until then just use a VPN

Or Tor.

I've seen my real IP appear on blockchain.info, although most often it does not.  So now I use a VPN.  Wink

Thank you very much.

I red "Run bitcoin client with TOR is not a good idea" famous article.
Using Armory or other bitcoin clients with TOR to hide IP to nodes has security issue?
Thank you

To be honest, i have nothing to hide, so i've never even read the paper: http://arxiv.org/abs/1410.6079
However, the abstract does say there's an atack vector created for people who run their client over Tor.

Hi, I used Armory 0.93.3 without TOR.
All my transactions were registered with my home IP?
And if yes, where can I check they are regitestered and publicized with my home IP?

I didn't see my home IP in blockchain.info details of all my transactions. I always saw other IPs of other countries.
For privacy should I use Armory with TOR or not?
Thank you very much


The IP of the broadcaster isn't logged into the blockchain, so the only thing a node can record is who transmits a transaction to him. this is what blockchain.info does: it records the ip of the first node that notifys them of a new transaction.

The reason to use a wallet over TOR is to hide your IP for the node you broadcast your transaction to, so even this first node has no clue what your home ip is.
