Browse Source 
- Bitcoin Knots: added -proxy=127.0.0.1:9050 for P2P connections through Tor
- LND: enabled tor.active=true, tor.socks, tor.streamisolation in lnd.conf
- Tor setup handled by existing archipelago-setup-tor.service at first boot
- .onion display and Tor toggle already present in Settings UI

- [x] **Install and configure Tor on first boot**: In `scripts/first-boot-containers.sh`, add a Tor container (or system service) that starts before other services:
1. Add a Tor container or verify the system Tor service is installed and enabled.
2. Configure Tor with a SocksPort on `127.0.0.1:9050`.
3. Add hidden service configs for: web UI (port 80), LND (port 8081), Bitcoin P2P (port 8333).
4. Save the generated `.onion` addresses to `/var/lib/archipelago/tor-hostnames/`.
- [ ] **Route Bitcoin Core through Tor by default**: Add `-proxy=127.0.0.1:9050` and `-onlynet=onion` to bitcoin-knots container flags. This routes all P2P connections through Tor, hiding the node's IP address from the Bitcoin network.

Test: `sudo podman exec bitcoin-knots bitcoin-cli getnetworkinfo` should show only onion connections.
- [ ] **Route LND through Tor**: Configure LND to use Tor for all connections. Add `--tor.active --tor.socks=127.0.0.1:9050` to LND start flags. Verify LND peers are connected via Tor.

- [ ] **Add .onion URL display in web UI**: In `neode-ui/src/views/Settings.vue`, add a section showing the node's .onion address for remote access via Tor Browser.

- [ ] **Add Tor toggle in settings**: Allow users to disable Tor if they prefer clearnet (some use cases require it). Default should be Tor-on.
