is it possible to expose electrs ?

Is it possible to make Electrs or fulcrum public using this method, so friends and family can connect their wallets to your node, in a way thats faster then tor.
may be on apps like blue wallet or sparrow.

No, it won't work.

[zeroday21m]

why is that ?
and whats the next best way to share your electrs with friends and family on clear net ?

Cloudflare Tunnel only allows HTTP(s) traffic and Electrum server protocol is TCP-based.
I don't know how to set up a clearnet access to Electrum server without having a white IP and an open port on your server 🤷‍♂️

Thanks 🙏

So I ended up exposing Electrum SSL endpoint through a WireGuard tunnel to a server with a white IP, on which the traffic is proxied through Nginx stream.

fuck. sounds complicated to a newbie. :)
any easy guide to follow ?

[Radiokot]

I don't there is one specifically for this😅

You raised a really good question. In many articles I've seen something like "if you run your own node, you could share it with your friends and family members". But on practice, sharing is not so simple.

yeah, plus now tor option is removed from blue wallet as well.
not a single good wallet that can access tor electrs/ fulcrum.

so only option is clearnet in the same network/wifi.
