Tor not working (neither Price nor Exchange) #1450
Comments
Hi, Cake Wallet currently does not have a built-in Tor daemon, however this feature is coming soon. In order to use the Tor options in Cake, you must run a separate Tor service on your device like Orbot. |
@tuxpizza I would recommend putting an "alpha" label on this project, given its half-baked nature. To not warn users that core functionality referenced in the UI is lacking is quite inexcusable for a product that requires this level of trust. |
Those toggles say "Tor only", meaning it will only attempt to connect over an Onion URL, not that the app would run a Tor service itself. Many other apps rely on an external service to use Tor. These options were added (AFAIK) quite a long time ago and they have only ever been dedicated Onion URLs. With the existing Monero libs, proper app-wide Tor support wouldn't have been very much possible, but with updated Monero libs in the next few weeks it will have a built-in Tor service that will cover the entire app. Its possible we could explain it better, change the terminology, or add a link to the guide on that Privacy settings page to make it easier to know how to use Tor with Cake (https://guides.cakewallet.com/docs/advanced-features/tor-with-orbot/) but like I mentioned, Cake will have its own Tor service implemented very soon. To add, that Merged PR you mentioned does not mean that feature is enabled in a production release yet, and as you can see it still has a "Waiting Tests" label. In this case, some preliminary code was merged, but the feature is not enabled/fully working yet. |
Describe the bug
When set to tor only mode, neither the price works, nor the exchange.
Platform:
Additional context
At first glance it looks like the tor functionality was never even fully tested after #1158
Possibly related to #883 and #1139
