Thank you @Prayank but that answer seems to be also largely not tails specific so most settings are likely not applicable.

e.g. tails disables UDP and prevents DNS leaks in general so I don't see that setting is required. https://tails.boum.org/contribute/design/Tor_enforcement/DNS/
In fact, my feeling is that bitcoin core does not need any non-default settings in tails.

# What settings required to privately run bitcoin core on tails?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2020-11-21)

I am running bitcoin-core on TailsOS which seems to work out of the box. I think TailsOS blocks all unsafe requests but I would like to know what settings I should enable to run it really privately. So far I start my node via

```
$ ./bitcoin-qt onlynet=onion

```

Is anything else required? In [this answer](https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/70070/112106) I read about a bunch of other settings but feel that isn't required on tails, correct?
