🚨 BTCPay Server Update: Manual Tor Opt-In Required
BTCPay Server version 2.4.5 introduces a significant change for Docker deployment users. Tor is no longer bundled automatically in the core setup, making it an optional configuration choice for administrators.
Operators must now explicitly select the opt-add-tor fragment during their next update or setup to maintain onion address access. While existing Tor volume data is preserved, connectivity will drop if the fragment is not manually included.
The update also blocks outbound HTTP requests to private networks by default to prevent SSRF (Server-Side Request Forgery) attacks. This affects Lightning connections, LNURL requests, and webhooks.
