I wrote a simple tool that lets you connect Ledger Live to Bitcoin Core running on an Umbrel

Ledger Live has a feature that allows you to connect your own Bitcoin node for validating transactions, verifying balances, etc, instead of using Ledger’s surveillance node.
Currently, when configuring the RPC connection, there is no proxy / Tor support.
This means that Umbrel users cannot use their self hosted Bitcoin nodes with Ledger Live, as Umbrel insist that all connections to the node are carried out over Tor.
I’ve written a simple tool that solves this problem.
It’s called py-node-tunnel.
It runs an instance of Tor on your local machine, listens for incoming connections on a local port, and routes any incoming connectivity over Tor.
Simply tell Ledger Live to connect to localhost, and the connection will be routed over Tor to your Umbrel node, in the background.
You can view the project source code here.

I hope it’s of use to somebody.
