You might also want to try using the "Write logs to file" option in "Tools -> Preferences -> General":



The log files will be generated in the "%AppData%\Electrum\logs" folder. Hopefully, it will show the error causing Electrum to be unable to connect to your TOR proxy.

Can you screenshot the proxy settings in electrum? It looks right on the guide afaik.

You could try doing netstat -rn in the command line once you've run electrum to check the state of the port.

Eg try
Code:
netstat -rn | grep="9050"

Feel free to not trust a random person on the Internet and look at what that code does via a search engine or your Linux build help docs.

Greetings all,

This is my first time in this forum, as I have tried everything else before capitulating to posting in a public forum. It is my hope that by posting this, I will not only be able to solve my problem, but maybe help somebody else that might be experiencing similar difficulties.

I have been following the guide by @stadicus (https://stadicus.github.io/RaspiBolt/ ), and I am at the electrum section. For some reason, I can not get it to connect via proxy. I have followed the guide exactly, and think I have executed every required step. I have done everything from changing the server and proxy settings to going into the command line and console and manually inputting code. I have even manually changed the config files in %appdata%. I have tried the latest version 4.0.3, and even downgraded the version to the one in the guide as a last ditch attempt. Still, nothing.  This is obviously a crucial step, as connecting via Tor and using a proxy is your protection from compromising yourself. It is an absolutely critical, non-negotiable step if you do not want to risk getting exposed.

If anybody can provide some assistance or point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated! This is one of the last hurdles (hopefully) in my project, so I would like to figure this out ASAP. If you need me to provide any more information, please, let me know!

Thanks in advance,
Corayee
