Wasabi Wallet v2.0.2: Tor Optimization to Improve Reliability and New Privacy Progress Visualizer
Due to an ongoing DDOS attack against Tor, the Wasabi client switched from connecting with the backend onion server to using Tor exit nodes and routing traffic to the clearnet domain of the coinjoin coordinator.
- Due to an ongoing DDOS attack against Tor, the Wasabi client switched from connecting with the backend onion server to using Tor exit nodes and routing traffic to the clearnet domain of the coinjoin coordinator. All traffic is still anonymized to prevent the client from leaking its IP address to the coinjoin coordinator server and protect user privacy.
- On the home screen of the Wasabi desktop app, a privacy progress bar is now available, showing the size of each coin and their privacy levels within a colour scheme. The privacy bars can be expanded into a privacy ring viewed in a pop-up dialog, which provides additional information about each coin, its size and its privacy level.
- Editor Reminder: Wasabi Wallet has partnered with a chain surveillance company to scan all utxos entering coinjoin.
