Connect the Electrum client
To connect to an Electrs server, you must use Electrum to point it to the server. ip_address:port
syntax. You’ll notice that most default servers in Electrum use it 50002
Port (for SSL connections), while the electric service port 50001
Also, it does not provide SSL from the box.
You must use a web server to provide SSL (see SSL connection (below) or connect without SSL. To tell Electrum to connect to the server without SSL, you need to add it :t
After the port (i.e.: localhost:50001:t
). Please note that this is not secure and is recommended only for local connections.
Electrs listen by default 127.0.0.1:50001
which means serving only clients on the local machine. this is, electrum_rpc_addr
If you want to connect from a different machine with the settings, you will need to change it 0.0.0.0:50001
. This is not safe and the recommended way to access electricity remotely is to keep listening 127.0.0.1
Tunnel to the server.
