Failing to connect over Tor after updating Sparrow to 2.3.0

General

Hi all,

I recently updated one of my sparrow wallets from 2.2.3 to 2.3.0. All was well regarding connectivity prior to the upgrade, but after the upgrade, the v2.3.0 wallet refuses to connect over tor and lan (although I need to test the lan setup again as I may have missed something doing it at 4AM).

For reference, the following apply:
My core is reachable locally (have another wallet connected running v2.2.3 on another machine (connection is over .local))
My Core is currently at v28.1.0~2
When I attempt to access the server UI over Tor, I get an SSL certificate error, but I am able to reach the login prompt, so its accessible over the net, although this is likely an unrelated problem.
Additional services are Corelightning, Electrs and Mempool, all have been updated to their respective latest version.

Has anyone else running Sparrow 2.3.0 experienced any issues since upgrading? Any feedback specific to a .onion connection troubleshooting?

No passwords or any other server settings have been changed before and after the wallet upgrade, it was a straight up software patching event.

TIA

Are you experiencing any trouble connecting to any other service over Tor?

If all other services are able to connect without a problem then it is a good idea to redo all the steps in the Sparrow Integration Setup Guide found here:

If on the other hand you cannot connect to any other service on your server by visiting their specific .onion address, then there are two options:

  1. Your client device (PC, Phone, Tablet) cannot connect to the tor network for some reason. Make sure you run over this other guide and that everything is set up correctly.

  2. Your server is having trouble connecting to the tor network. You can check the tor logs under System → Insights → Tor Logs and making sure the connection is bootstrapping to 100% and remaining stable.

If the connection is not bootstrapping or is constantly failing, you can attempt to reset the servers tor connection by going to System → Experimental Features → Reset Tor

Try this process at first without selecting the “Wipe State” Option and rechecking the tor logs. If you still have trouble, use that option.
