Privacy Networks Overview

NozyWallet can route some traffic through privacy networks (Tor, I2P) for metadata resistance when connecting to nodes or services.

Status: Experimental. Production ZEC path today assumes direct or VPN-protected Zebrad RPC.

Why privacy networks

  • Hide wallet IP from RPC provider
  • Reduce network-level correlation

What they do not hide

  • On-chain shielded cryptography (already private for amounts/parties in Orchard)
  • Malicious RPC — use trusted nodes regardless of Tor

CLI entry

nozy privacy-network --help

Subcommands test connectivity and configure proxies per build.
