This provides users an alternative over the SAFECOOKIE authentication
method, which may not be as useful if users are connecting to a remote
Tor sevrer due to lnd not being able to retrieve the cookie file.

tor

The tor package contains utility functions that allow for interacting with the Tor daemon. So far, supported functions include:

  • Routing all traffic over Tor's exposed SOCKS5 proxy.
  • Routing DNS queries over Tor (A, AAAA, SRV).
  • Limited Tor Control functionality (synchronous messages only). So far, this includes:
    • Support for SAFECOOKIE, HASHEDPASSWORD, and NULL authentication methods.
    • Creating v2 and v3 onion services.

In the future, the Tor Control functionality will be extended to support v3 onion services, asynchronous messages, etc.
