!!! success "The end goal"
|
||||||
|
You will publicly offer the following services, where xxx.yyy.zzz.vvv is your server IP address.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* xxx.yyy.zzz.vvv:18080 - clearnet P2P service (for other nodes)
|
||||||
|
* xxx.yyy.zzz.vvv:18089 - clearnet RPC service (for wallets)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Why run this specific setup?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You will be able to connect your desktop and mobile Monero wallets to your own trusted Monero node,
|
||||||
|
in a secure and private way over Tor.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Running as a systemd service** will allow your node to always remain synced, as opposed to intermittently running node.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Public RPC service** - The `public-node` config option will broadcast your RPC port to your peers, providing a service for anyone to use your node to connect their wallets to the Monero network.
|
||||||
|
This is useful to users who don't run their own nodes. You may enable it by removing the `#` from `#public-node` in the config.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
??? warning "Public RPC may be resource intensive"
|
||||||
|
Providing Public RPC via the flag `public-node=1` may use a sizeable amount of resources on your PC.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Assumptions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You possess:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Basic understanding of Linux administration
|
||||||
|
- Root access to a Linux server
|
||||||
|
- _Recommended_ 4 GB+ RAM
|
||||||
|
- _Recommended_ available SSD storage of
|
||||||
|
- **{{ multiply(lmdb_size_full, 2.5) }} GB+** for the full node
|
||||||
|
- **{{ multiply(lmdb_size_pruned, 2.5) }} GB+** for the pruned
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
!!! note "Current blockchain size as of {{ lmdb_size_updated }}"
|
||||||
|
The current blockchain sizes are approximately:
|
||||||
|
Full node: **{{ lmdb_size_full }} GB**
|
||||||
|
Pruned node: **{{ lmdb_size_pruned }} GB**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Some commands assume Ubuntu but you will easily translate them to your distribution.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Install Monero
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Create `monero` user and group:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
``` Bash
|
||||||
|
useradd --system monero
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. Create monero **config**, **data** and **log** directories:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
``` Bash
|
||||||
|
mkdir -p /etc/monero # config
|
||||||
|
mkdir -p /var/lib/monero # blockchain
|
||||||
|
mkdir -p /var/log/monero # logs
|
||||||
|
chown monero:monero /etc/monero
|
||||||
|
chown monero:monero /var/lib/monero
|
||||||
|
chown monero:monero /var/log/monero
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Feel free to adjust above to your preferred conventions, just remember to adjust the paths in the `systemd` and `monerod` config files accordingly.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. [Download](../interacting/download-monero-binaries.md) and [verify](../interacting/verify-monero-binaries.md) the archive.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4. Extract the binaries (adjust filename if necessary):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
``` Bash
|
||||||
|
tar -xvf monero-linux-x64-{{ cli_vers }}.tar.bz2
|
||||||
|
rm monero-linux-x64-{{ cli_vers }}.tar.bz2
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
5. Move binaries to /usr/local/bin/:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
``` Bash
|
||||||
|
mv monero-x86_64-linux-gnu-{{ cli_vers }}/* /usr/local/bin/.
|
||||||
|
chown monero:monero /usr/local/bin/monero*
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Monerod Config
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
6. Create `/etc/monero/monerod.conf` as shown below:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
{% include 'monerod_template' %}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Systemd
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
7. Create `/etc/systemd/system/monerod.service` as shown below.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
``` INI
|
||||||
|
# /etc/systemd/system/monerod.service
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[Unit]
|
||||||
|
Description=Monero Daemon
|
||||||
|
After=network-online.target
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/monerod --detach --config-file /etc/monero/monerod.conf --pidfile /run/monero/monerod.pid
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
StandardError=journal
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[Install]
|
||||||
|
WantedBy=multi-user.target
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
8. Enable the monerod service:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
``` Bash
|
||||||
|
systemctl daemon-reload
|
||||||
|
systemctl enable monerod
|
||||||
|
systemctl restart monerod
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
9. Verify it is up:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
``` Bash
|
||||||
|
systemctl status monerod
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
9. Verify it is working as intended:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
``` Bash
|
||||||
|
tail -n100 /var/log/monero/monero.log
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Open firewall ports
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you use a firewall (and you should), open `18080` and `18089` ports for incoming TCP connections.
|
||||||
|
These are for the incoming **clearnet** connections, P2P and RPC respectively.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You **do not** need to open any ports for Tor.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For example, for popular ufw firewall, that would be:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
``` Bash
|
||||||
|
ufw allow 18080/tcp
|
||||||
|
ufw allow 18089/tcp
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To verify, use `ufw status`. The output should be similar to the following (the `22` being default SSH port, unrelated to Monero):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
To Action From
|
||||||
|
-- ------ ----
|
||||||
|
22/tcp LIMIT Anywhere
|
||||||
|
18080/tcp ALLOW Anywhere
|
||||||
|
18089/tcp ALLOW Anywhere
|
||||||
|
22/tcp (v6) LIMIT Anywhere (v6)
|
||||||
|
18080/tcp (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6)
|
||||||
|
18089/tcp (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6)
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|

||||||

### Testing
|

|
|
||||||
|
??? "Testing"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**On server**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
List all services listening on ports and make sure it is what you expect:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
``` Bash
|
||||||
|
sudo netstat -lntpu
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The output should include these (in any order); obviously the PID values will differ.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name
|
||||||
|
...
|
||||||
|
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:18080 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 259255/monerod
|
||||||
|
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:18089 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 259255/monerod
|
||||||
|
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:18084 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 259255/monerod
|
||||||
|
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:9050 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 258786/tor
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**On client machine**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Finally, we want to test connections from your client machine.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Install `tor` and `torsocks` on your laptop, you will want them anyway for Monero wallet.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Just for testing, you will also need `nmap` and `proxychains`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Test **clearnet P2P** connection:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`nmap -Pn -p 18080 YOUR_IP_ADDRESS_HERE`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Test **clearnet RPC** connection:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
``` Bash
|
||||||
|
curl --digest -X POST http://YOUR_IP_ADDRESS_HERE:18089/json_rpc -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"0","method":"get_info"}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json'
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Test **onion P2P** connection (skip if you don't have proxychains):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
``` Bash
|
||||||
|
proxychains nmap -Pn -p 18084 YOUR_ONION_ADDRESS_HERE.onion
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Test **onion RPC** connection:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
``` Bash
|
||||||
|
curl -x socks5h://127.0.0.1:9050 --digest -X POST http://YOUR_ONION_ADDRESS_HERE.onion:18089/json_rpc -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"0","method":"get_info"}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json'`
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

You will be able to connect your desktop and mobile Monero wallets to your own trusted Monero node,
|
||||||
|
in a secure and private way over Tor or I2P.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Tor and I2P hidden services for wallet interface** are useful for wallet users because it bypasses [NAT](https://tailscale.com/blog/how-nat-traversal-works) and also works to mitigate MITM risks (which are very real). Hidden service connections are end-to-end encrypted and private by default.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Onion and I2P for P2P network** is useful for other nodes as it allows them to relay transactions to your node (using `--tx-proxy` option).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Node Configuration
|
||||||
|
=== "Tor"
|
||||||
|
{% include 'tor_template' %}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
=== "I2P"
|
||||||
|
{% include 'i2pd_template' %}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
!!! note "(Optional) Publish the node on [monero.fail](https://monero.fail)"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Wallet Setup
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To connect Monero nodes, you have to configure the wallet software:
|
||||||
|
=== "Tor"
|
||||||
|
=== "Monero GUI"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Navigate to: `Settings -> Interface -> Socks5 proxy` and set the values to `IP Address = 127.0.0.1` and `Port = 9050`
|
||||||
|
2. Navigate to: `Settings -> Node -> Add remote node` and set the values to `Address = http://yourlongv3onionaddress.onion` and `Port = 18089`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[:link: _Monero GUI_](../interacting/monero-wallet-gui-reference.md)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
=== "Monero CLI"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Add the flags `--proxy=127.0.0.1:9050 --daemon-address=http://yourlongv3onionaddress.onion:18089 --trusted-daemon`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[:link: _Monero CLI_](../interacting/monero-wallet-cli-reference.md)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
=== "I2P"
|
||||||
|
=== "Monero GUI"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Navigate to: `Settings -> Interface -> Socks5 proxy` and set the values to `IP Address = 127.0.0.1` and `Port = 4447`
|
||||||
|
2. Navigate to: `Settings -> Node -> Add remote node` and set the values to `Address = http://yourlongb32i2paddress.b32.i2p` and `Port = 18089`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[:link: _Monero GUI_](../interacting/monero-wallet-gui-reference.md)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
=== "Monero CLI"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Add the flags `--proxy=127.0.0.1:4447 --daemon-address=http://yourlongb32i2paddress.b32.i2p:18089 --trusted-daemon`

# Running Monero Open Node + Tor Onion
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
!!! success "The end goal"
|
|
||||||
You will publicly offer the following services, where xxx.yyy.zzz.vvv is your server IP address.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* xxx.yyy.zzz.vvv:18080 - clearnet P2P service (for other nodes)
|
|
||||||
* xxx.yyy.zzz.vvv:18089 - clearnet RPC service (for wallets)
|
|
||||||
* yourlongv3onionaddress.onion:18084 - onion P2P service (for other onion nodes)
|
|
||||||
* yourlongv3onionaddress.onion:18089 - onion RPC service (for wallets connecting over Tor)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
??? info "P2P ports"
|
|
||||||
Q: Why different P2P ports for clearnet and onion?
|
|
||||||
A: The data served by the Onion differs from clearnet P2P. A different port is required
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
??? warning "May be resource intensive"
|
|
||||||
Providing a Public RPC may use a sizeable amount of resources on your PC.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you have concerns about data/bandwidth, CPU or RAM usage, you may disable the `public-node` setting by commenting [#] or deleting the line from the [config](#config)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Why run this specific setup?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You will be able to connect your desktop and mobile Monero wallets to your own trusted Monero node,
|
|
||||||
in a secure and private way over Tor.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Running as a systemd service** will allow your node to always remain synced, as opposed to intermittently running node.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Serving blocks and transactions** in Monero P2P network helps new users to bootstrap and sync up their nodes.
|
|
||||||
It also strenghtens Monero P2P network against DDoS attacks and network partitioning.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Open wallet inteface** - The `public-node` config option allows anyone to connect their wallets to Monero network through your node.
|
|
||||||
This is useful to users who don't run their own nodes.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Tor onion for wallet interface** is useful for wallet users connecting over Tor because it mitigates Clearnet and Tor exit node MiTM risks (which are very real). By connecting wallet to an onion service, no MiTM attack is realistic because onion connections are end-to-end encrypted.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Tor onion for P2P network** is useful for other full node users as it allows them to broadcast transactions over Tor (using `--tx-proxy` option).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Assumptions
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You possess:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Basic understanding of Linux administration
|
|
||||||
- Root access to a Linux server
|
|
||||||
- _Recommended_ 4 GB+ RAM
|
|
||||||
- _Recommended_ available SSD storage of
|
|
||||||
- **{{ multiply(lmdb_size_full, 2.5) }} GB+** for the full node
|
|
||||||
- **{{ multiply(lmdb_size_pruned, 2.5) }} GB+** for the pruned.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
!!! note "Current blockchain size as of {{ lmdb_size_updated }}"
|
|
||||||
The current blockchain sizes are approximately:
|
|
||||||
Full node: **{{ lmdb_size_full }} GB**
|
|
||||||
Pruned node: **{{ lmdb_size_pruned }} GB**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Some commands assume Ubuntu but you will easily translate them to your distribution.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Install Tor
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. [Install Tor](https://support.torproject.org/apt)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
2. Elevate to root:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
``` Bash
|
|
||||||
sudo su -
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
3. Add the following lines to `/etc/tor/torrc`:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
``` ApacheConf
|
|
||||||
HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/monerod
|
|
||||||
HiddenServicePort 18089 127.0.0.1:18089 # interface for wallet ("RPC")
|
|
||||||
HiddenServicePort 18084 127.0.0.1:18084 # interface for P2P network
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
4. Enable tor service:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
``` Bash
|
|
||||||
systemctl enable tor
|
|
||||||
systemctl restart tor
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
5. Verify the Tor is running:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
``` Bash
|
|
||||||
systemctl status tor@default
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
6. View/Copy your new Onion Address:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
``` Bash
|
|
||||||
cat /var/lib/tor/monerod/hostname
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
??? info "Backup Onion keys"
|
|
||||||
You may want to backup your keys folder (`/var/lib/tor/monerod`) to secure control over your onion address.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
??? info "How Tor onion services work?"
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A fresh onion address and corresponding key pair were created for you in /var/lib/tor/monero/.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This happens on restart whenever you add a new `HiddenServiceDir` to the `/etc/tor/torrc` config file.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The tor daemon will forward traffic from a virtual onion port to an actual localhost port, where some service is listening (in our case, this will be `monerod`).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A single onion address can offer multiple services at various virtual ports.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Install Monero
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Create `monero` user and group:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
``` Bash
|
|
||||||
useradd --system monero
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
2. Create monero **config**, **data** and **log** directories:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
``` Bash
|
|
||||||
mkdir -p /etc/monero # config
|
|
||||||
mkdir -p /var/lib/monero # blockchain
|
|
||||||
mkdir -p /var/log/monero # logs
|
|
||||||
chown monero:monero /etc/monero
|
|
||||||
chown monero:monero /var/lib/monero
|
|
||||||
chown monero:monero /var/log/monero
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Feel free to adjust above to your preferred conventions, just remember to adjust the paths in the `systemd` and `monerod` config files accordingly.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
3. [Download](../interacting/download-monero-binaries.md) and [verify](../interacting/verify-monero-binaries.md) the archive.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
4. Extract the binaries (adjust filename if necessary):
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
``` Bash
|
|
||||||
tar -xvf monero-linux-x64-{{ cli_vers }}.tar.bz2
|
|
||||||
rm monero-linux-x64-{{ cli_vers }}.tar.bz2
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
5. Move binaries to /usr/local/bin/:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
``` Bash
|
|
||||||
mv monero-x86_64-linux-gnu-{{ cli_vers }}/* /usr/local/bin/.
|
|
||||||
chown monero:monero /usr/local/bin/monero*
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### **Monerod Config**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
6. Create `/etc/monero/monerod.conf` as shown below and **replace `PASTE_YOUR_ONION_HOSTNAME` with your Onion address**.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
``` YAML
|
|

```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Systemd
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
7. Create `/etc/systemd/system/monerod.service` as shown below.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
``` INI
|
|
||||||
# /etc/systemd/system/monerod.service
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
[Unit]
|
|
||||||
Description=Monero Daemon
|
|
||||||
After=network-online.target
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
[Service]
|
|
||||||
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/monerod --detach --config-file /etc/monero/monerod.conf --pidfile /run/monero/monerod.pid
|
|
||||||
ExecStartPost=/bin/sleep 0.1
|
|
||||||
PIDFile=/run/monero/monerod.pid
|
|
||||||
Type=forking
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Restart=on-failure
|
|
||||||
RestartSec=30
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
User=monero
|
|
||||||
Group=monero
|
|
||||||
RuntimeDirectory=monero
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
StandardOutput=journal
|
|
||||||
StandardError=journal
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
[Install]
|
|
||||||
WantedBy=multi-user.target
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
8. Enable the monerod service:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
``` Bash
|
|
||||||
systemctl daemon-reload
|
|
||||||
systemctl enable monerod
|
|
||||||
systemctl restart monerod
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
9. Verify it is up:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
``` Bash
|
|
||||||
systemctl status monerod
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
9. Verify it is working as intended:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
``` Bash
|
|
||||||
tail -n100 /var/log/monero/monero.log
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Open firewall ports
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you use a firewall (and you should), open `18080` and `18089` ports for incoming TCP connections.
|
|
||||||
These are for the incoming **clearnet** connections, P2P and RPC respectively.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You **do not** need to open any ports for Tor.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For example, for popular ufw firewall, that would be:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
``` Bash
|
|
||||||
ufw allow 18080/tcp
|
|
||||||
ufw allow 18089/tcp
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To verify, use `ufw status`. The output should be similar to the following (the `22` being default SSH port, unrelated to Monero):
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
To Action From
|
|
||||||
-- ------ ----
|
|
||||||
22/tcp LIMIT Anywhere
|
|
||||||
18080/tcp ALLOW Anywhere
|
|
||||||
18089/tcp ALLOW Anywhere
|
|
||||||
22/tcp (v6) LIMIT Anywhere (v6)
|
|
||||||
18080/tcp (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6)
|
|
||||||
18089/tcp (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6)
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Testing
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### On server
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
List all services listening on ports and make sure it is what you expect:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
``` Bash
|
|
||||||
sudo netstat -lntpu
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The output should include these (in any order); obviously the PID values will differ.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name
|
|
||||||
...
|
|
||||||
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:18080 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 259255/monerod
|
|
||||||
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:18089 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 259255/monerod
|
|
||||||
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:18084 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 259255/monerod
|
|
||||||
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:9050 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 258786/tor
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### On client machine
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Finally, we want to test connections from your client machine.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Install `tor` and `torsocks` on your laptop, you will want them anyway for Monero wallet.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Just for testing, you will also need `nmap` and `proxychains`.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Test **clearnet P2P** connection:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
`nmap -Pn -p 18080 YOUR_IP_ADDRESS_HERE`
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Test **clearnet RPC** connection:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
`curl --digest -X POST http://YOUR_IP_ADDRESS_HERE:18089/json_rpc -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"0","method":"get_info"}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json'`
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Test **onion P2P** connection (skip if you don't have proxychains):
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
`proxychains nmap -Pn -p 18084 YOUR_ONION_ADDRESS_HERE.onion`
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

!!! success "The end goal"
|
||||||
|
To enable the following services:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* yourlongb32i2paddress.b32.i2p:18085 - i2p P2P service (for other i2p nodes)
|
||||||
|
* yourlongb32i2paddress.b32.i2p:18089 - i2p RPC service (for wallets connecting over i2p)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**I2P service for P2P network** is useful for other full node users as it allows them to broadcast transactions over I2P (using `--tx-proxy` option).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**I2P service for wallet interface** is useful for wallet users connecting over I2P because it mitigates Clearnet and Tor exit node MiTM risks (which are very real). By connecting wallet to an I2P service, no MiTM attack is realistic because I2P connections are end-to-end encrypted.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
??? question "Why different P2P ports for clearnet and i2p?"
|
||||||
|
A: The data served by the i2p p2p port differs from clearnet P2P. A different port is required
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Elevate to root:
|
||||||
|
``` Bash
|
||||||
|
sudo su -
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
2. Install i2pd:
|
||||||
|
``` Bash
|
||||||
|
apt install apt-transport-https
|
||||||
|
wget -q -O - https://repo.i2pd.xyz/.help/add_repo | bash -s -
|
||||||
|
apt update
|
||||||
|
apt install i2pd
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
3. Create a server tunnel for the Monero P2P and RPC ports:
|
||||||
|
``` ini
|
||||||
|
cat << EOF > /etc/i2pd/tunnels.conf.d/monero-mainnet.conf
|
||||||
|
[monero-node]
|
||||||
|
type = server
|
||||||
|
host = 127.0.0.1
|
||||||
|
# Anonymous inbound port
|
||||||
|
port = 18085
|
||||||
|
inport = 0
|
||||||
|
keys = monero-mainnet.dat
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[monero-rpc]
|
||||||
|
type = server
|
||||||
|
host = 127.0.0.1
|
||||||
|
# Restricted RPC port
|
||||||
|
port = 18089
|
||||||
|
keys = monero-mainnet.dat
|
||||||
|
EOF
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
4. Restart i2pd:
|
||||||
|
``` Bash
|
||||||
|
systemctl restart i2pd
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
5. Find the new b32 address of the node:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
=== "Terminal"
|
||||||
|
``` Bash
|
||||||
|
curl -s http://127.0.0.1:7070/?page=i2p_tunnels | grep -Eo "[a-zA-Z0-9./?=_%:-]*" | grep "18085"`
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
=== "Web console"
|
||||||
|
Go to the web console at 127.0.0.1:7070 -> [I2P tunnels page](http://127.0.0.1:7070/?page=i2p_tunnels).
|
||||||
|
Look for Server tunnels and you will see an address like **_`yourlongb32i2paddress.b32.i2p`_** next to **`monero-node`**.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
6. Copy the result into your Monero [**config file** :link:{ title="Monerod Config" }]{{ config }}, enabling these options:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
``` ini
|
||||||
|
anonymous-inbound=yourlongb32i2paddress.b32.i2p,127.0.0.1:18085
|
||||||
|
tx-proxy=i2p,127.0.0.1:4447,disable_noise
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Replace `yourlongb32i2paddress.b32.i2p` with your b32 address.
|
||||||
|
7. The node is now available on i2p. You can check that the service is working by using curl:
|
||||||
|
``` Bash
|
||||||
|
curl -x socks5h://127.0.0.1:4447 http://yourlongb32i2paddress.b32.i2p:18089/get_info
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
!!! note "(Optional) Register short and memorable .i2p domain on [reg.i2p](http://reg.i2p)"

|
A: The data served by the Onion p2p port differs from clearnet P2P. A different port is required.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Elevate to root:
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
sudo su -
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
2. [:link: Install Tor](https://support.torproject.org/apt/#apt_tor-deb-repo)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. Add the following lines to `/etc/tor/torrc`:
|
||||||
|
``` ApacheConf
|
||||||
|
HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/monerod
|
||||||
|
HiddenServicePort 18089 127.0.0.1:18089 # interface for wallet ("RPC")
|
||||||
|
HiddenServicePort 18084 127.0.0.1:18084 # interface for P2P network
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
4. Enable Tor service:
|
||||||
|
``` Bash
|
||||||
|
systemctl enable tor
|
||||||
|
systemctl restart tor
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
5. View/Copy your new Onion Address:
|
||||||
|
``` Bash
|
||||||
|
cat /var/lib/tor/monerod/hostname
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
7. The node is now available on Tor. You can check that the service is working by using curl:
|
||||||
|
``` Bash
|
||||||
|
curl -x socks5h://127.0.0.1:9050 http://yourlongv3onionaddress.onion:18089/get_info
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
??? info "Backup Onion keys"
|
||||||
|
You may want to backup your keys folder (`/var/lib/tor/monerod`) to secure control over your onion address.
|
||||||
|
??? info "How Tor onion services work?"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A fresh onion address and corresponding key pair were created for you in /var/lib/tor/monero/.
|
||||||
|
This happens on restart whenever you add a new `HiddenServiceDir` to the `/etc/tor/torrc` config file.
|
||||||
|
The tor daemon will forward traffic from a virtual onion port to an actual localhost port, where some service is listening (in our case, this will be `monerod`).
|
||||||
|
A single onion address can offer multiple services at various virtual ports.
