I sent a decent sum of bitcoin on over to my Electrum wallet on Tails, and I can't access it because Electrum refuses to connect to any server. I had it sitting on one server for several hours, and it just said "Synchronizing..." the whole time. Eventually I tried connecting to other servers manually but now it just says "Not Connected" and I'm not sure what to do at this point. Any help would be appreciated.

Hmm Strange, I think your firewall is not allowing electrum to communicate with the external servers, If you are using windows try to add the firewall rules to allow electrum to receive and send traffic. Here is a tutorial on how to add programs in your default firewall :

If you are using any antivirus please see their respective guides on how to add a program to their firewall.

Go to Electrum > Tools > Network and make sure your proxy is set to
  • SOCKS5 localhost 9050

If that doesnt work type this command into your console
  • ./electrum -s 56ckl5obj37gypcu.onion:50001:t -p socks5:localhost:9050
