Anonymise your net connection

By default, anyone snooping on your connection can see your IP address connecting to the Electrum servers. Your IP could be used to link your identity to specific addresses in your ‘watching’ wallet. If you have Tor running on your system, you can route Electrum’s connection through the Darknet by going to Tools > Network. Select ‘SOCKS5’ as your ‘Proxy’. The rest of the information is filled in already, so just click ‘OK’.
