   ✅ tor-gen - Tor configuration generator

🔐 TOR SERVICES:
   ✅ Hidden service for BTCPay web interface
   ✅ Hidden service for Bitcoin P2P network
   ✅ Automatic onion address generation
   ✅ Traffic routing through Tor network

================================================================================
                           LIGHTNING NETWORK
================================================================================

⚡ LIGHTNING STATUS:
   Currently: NOT ENABLED (can be added later)
   
   To enable Lightning Network with Tor:
   1. Run: sudo /opt/btcpayserver-docker/btcpay-setup.sh
   2. Set BTCPAYGEN_LIGHTNING=lnd (or clightning)
   3. Lightning will automatically get Tor hidden service

⚡ LIGHTNING OVER TOR FEATURES:
   - Hidden service for Lightning node
   - Tor-only channel connections
   - Invoice generation over onion network
   - Complete payment privacy

================================================================================
                            SECURITY CONFIGURATION
================================================================================

🔒 NETWORK SECURITY:
   ✅ UFW Firewall active with BTCPay rules
   ✅ SSH on port 2255 (key authentication)
   ✅ Fail2Ban monitoring SSH and web access
   ✅ Dokploy admin panel blocked externally
   ✅ Tor traffic allowed for local connections

🛡️ TOR SECURITY:
   ✅ Bitcoin node: Tor-only (no clearnet connections)
   ✅ BTCPay Server: Accessible via both clearnet and onion
   ✅ Hidden services properly configured
   ✅ No DNS leaks (Bitcoin uses onlynet=onion)

⚠️ SECURITY NOTES:
   - Tor provides privacy, not perfect anonymity
   - BTCPay plugins may have clearnet dependencies
   - Regular security updates still required
   - Monitor logs for any clearnet leaks

                          INTEGRATION WITH LITTLESHOP
================================================================================

🔗 API INTEGRATION:
   Clearnet API: https://srv1002428.hstgr.cloud/api
   Onion API: http://njoc2ubkk7ymgqfg6plt3wcltvcvuv3j4eemixnovicegrlwhq2zwfad.onion/api
   
   For maximum privacy, use onion API endpoint in LittleShop configuration.

💳 PAYMENT PROCESSING:
   ✅ Bitcoin payments (on-chain)
   ✅ Invoice generation
   ✅ Webhook notifications
   ✅ Payment verification
   ⚡ Lightning payments (when enabled)

🔐 WEBHOOK CONFIGURATION:
   For Tor privacy, configure webhooks to use onion address:
   http://njoc2ubkk7ymgqfg6plt3wcltvcvuv3j4eemixnovicegrlwhq2zwfad.onion/webhook

================================================================================
                               TROUBLESHOOTING
================================================================================

🚨 COMMON ISSUES:

1. Bitcoin Sync Slow:
   - Normal over Tor network
   - Check: docker logs btcpayserver_bitcoind
   - Solution: Wait 12-24 hours for initial sync

2. Onion Service Not Accessible:
   - Check Tor container: docker ps | grep tor
   - Restart if needed: docker restart tor
   - Verify address: cat /var/lib/docker/volumes/generated_tor_servicesdir/_data/BTCPayServer/hostname

3. BTCPay Web Interface Not Loading:
   - Check nginx: docker logs nginx
   - Restart services: btcpay-restart.sh
   - Check SSL certificate: curl -I https://srv1002428.hstgr.cloud

4. Storage Issues:
   - Monitor with: df -h /
   - Bitcoin pruning should keep usage ~50GB
   - Clean old Docker images: btcpay-clean.sh

🔧 RECOVERY PROCEDURES:
   If BTCPay becomes unresponsive:
   1. sudo btcpay-restart.sh
   2. Check logs for errors
   3. If needed: sudo btcpay-down.sh && sudo btcpay-up.sh
   4. Last resort: Restore from backup

================================================================================
                               NEXT STEPS
================================================================================

🎯 IMMEDIATE ACTIONS:
   1. Wait for Bitcoin initial sync to complete (~24 hours)
   2. Access BTCPay via Tor Browser using onion address
   3. Create BTCPay admin account during setup wizard
   4. Test payment processing with small amount

⚡ OPTIONAL ENHANCEMENTS:
   1. Enable Lightning Network for instant payments
   2. Set up automated backups
   3. Configure email notifications
   4. Add additional cryptocurrencies (Monero, Litecoin)

🔗 LITTLESHOP INTEGRATION:
   1. Update LittleShop config to use BTCPay API
   2. Test order creation and payment flow
   3. Configure webhook endpoints
   4. Enable Tor routing for maximum customer privacy
