fix(net): don't refuse to start over the automatic onion service unless -listenonion=1 - #8003
Since #7786 (shipped to v24.0.x for rc.3 via #7808), a node with -bind but no -bind=<addr>:<port>=onion refuses to start while -listenonion is enabled. -listenonion is on by default, so this breaks every node with bind= and no Tor that worked on v23: dashmate evonodes, docker setups, hosts with several masternodes. It also hits 54 of DCG's 88 testnet hosts. The startup errors came from a partial backport of bitcoin#36170, which is still open upstream; released Bitcoin Core does not refuse to start here.
This PR removes startup failures; it adds none compared with rc.5. Each "refuses to start" in the first table is how develop and v24.0.0-rc.5 behave before this PR.
What changes compared with v24.0.0-rc.5
Setup
rc.5 (before this PR)
With this PR
S1
-bind, no Tor, default -listenonion
refuses to start
starts, as on v23
S2
-bind, Tor running with no torrc changes, default -listenonion
refuses to start
starts, onion service on the dedicated 127.0.0.1:9996 listener, as on v23
S3
wildcard -bind=0.0.0.0:P=onion, -listenonion on (default or =1)
refuses to start
still refuses to start, on purpose (see below); -listenonion=0 starts
S4
no -bind, default onion port already taken (e.g. a second instance with -port)
refuses to start, even with -listenonion=0
starts, without an onion service
What still differs from v23
These are the only remaining differences from v23. Each one stops Tor from being pointed at a listener that doesn't tag its peers as onion, or turns an explicit -listenonion=1 that can't be honored into an error.
Setup
v23
With this PR
Wildcard =onion bind, -listenonion on
starts; peers arriving through Tor are treated as clearnet peers
startup error (-listenonion=0 starts)
Default onion port taken by another process
onion service points at whatever holds the port
starts, without an onion service
Explicit -listenonion=1 without a working onion listener
The privacy fix from #7786 has to stay: Tor must never be pointed at a listener that isn't tagged as onion. Otherwise Tor-forwarded peers are treated as clearnet peers and are told the node's clearnet address. Before #7786, #7300 (backport of bitcoin#22729) caused exactly that by targeting the first -bind.
The rule this PR implements: only an explicit -listenonion=1 may turn a missing or unusable onion listener into a startup failure. The default -listenonion means "use Tor if it is there" (bitcoin#6639).
The one exception is a wildcard =onion bind (S3). Writing =onion is explicit Tor intent, and a wildcard listener can't honor it: an accepted socket reports its concrete local address, which never matches the wildcard entry in m_onion_binds, so peers that Tor forwards there would be treated as clearnet and could be told our clearnet address. So while -listenonion is effective, default or explicit, any wildcard =onion bind, including one next to a specific bind, is a startup error with the existing message, as on rc.5 and in bitcoin#36170. With -listenonion=0 it is accepted, as in v23 and released Bitcoin Core. Setups without Tor don't write =onion, so S1 always starts.
What was done?
Two commits. The second can be dropped on its own if reviewers prefer.
1. fix(net): don't refuse to start over the automatic onion service unless -listenonion=1 (fixes S1 and S2 at startup)
The TorController target is now std::optional<CService>. Without a target, Tor control still authenticates and runs GETINFO net/listeners/socks (outbound onion proxy discovery), but skips ADD_ONION. Once authenticated, it logs once that no onion service is created because there is no dedicated onion bind. Without Tor, the control-port connect just fails, as on v23.
In init, with -listenonion effective:
any wildcard onion bind: the existing wildcard InitError, default or explicit;
no onion bind and explicit -listenonion=1: the existing "requires a dedicated onion bind" InitError;
no onion bind and the default -listenonion: Tor control starts without a target.
2. fix(net): restore the default onion bind as a best-effort listener (fixes S2 and S4 fully)
The default onion bind 127.0.0.1:<OnionServiceTargetPort> is added again when there is no =onion bind and -listenonion is effective, even with -bind, as on v23 (the rule from fix(net): keep a dedicated onion listener when -bind is given and correct the bind release note #7786's first two commits). It is still added when there are no binds at all, for manual-torrc setups. With -bind and -listenonion=0 it is not added.
Failing to bind it only logs a warning; explicit -bind, -whitebind and =onion failures stay fatal. With an explicit -listenonion=1, the default onion bind is required and its failure is fatal. That happens inside InitBinds, before network threads start.
A failed default onion bind is dropped from CConnman's onion binds. Tor control now starts after connman->Start() and gets the target only if CConnman::HasOnionBind() still has it; otherwise it runs without a target. This avoids v23's misroute, where Tor forwarded to whatever held the port: another instance, or the node's own -bind/-whitebind on that address. Nothing between the old and new StartTorControl call sites depends on Tor control; onion proxy discovery was already asynchronous.
p2p_permissions.py gives its whitebind-only node a per-node onion bind, and the test framework's p2p_port(), rpc_port() and tor_port() never return the fixed regtest onion port 19896 (it is moved to the last port of its range, which no seed uses). feature_bind_extra.py and interface_zmq.py now get each extra port from p2p_port() instead of adding to one. That makes feature_bind_extra.py the only test binding 19896, for every port seed and in parallel test_runner.py runs.
Docs: the -bind and -listenonion help, doc/release-notes-7300.md (the v24 note that said such nodes "now refuse to start") and doc/tor.md describe the new behavior. Translated strings are unchanged. Commit 2 no longer uses the "requires a dedicated onion bind" message.
feature_bind_extra.py, which checks the node's actual listening sockets. Node 2 (-bind without an onion bind) is restarted with the framework's listenonion=0 removed, so it runs with the default -listenonion:
commit 1: it starts and listens only on its -bind;
commit 2: it starts and also listens on the default onion target 127.0.0.1:19896;
commit 2, with 127.0.0.1:19896 held by another socket: it still starts and listens only on its -bind, while an explicit -listenonion=1 fails with the bind error;
a wildcard onion bind with the default -listenonion is the wildcard startup error, and with -listenonion=0 it starts;
node 2's initial start sets -listenonion=0 explicitly in commit 2, which checks that no default onion bind is added in that case.
Ran with both commits: feature_bind_extra.py feature_proxy.py p2p_permissions.py interface_zmq.py rpc_bind.py feature_discover.py, all pass (rpc_bind.py --ipv6 skips on this host), also with --portseed=8428 and in parallel with TEST_RUNNER_PORT_MIN=19870. Earlier revisions with the same src/ also passed rpc_net.py p2p_eviction.py feature_config_args.py p2p_addr_relay.py, test_dash --run_test=torcontrol_tests,net_tests,net_peer_eviction_tests, lint-whitespace.py and lint-python.py. check-doc.py reports undocumented -statsport and -printcrashinfo, identically on develop.
Mutation checks, each failing feature_bind_extra.py:
develop's src/: node 2 refuses to start with the default -listenonion;
commit 1's src/ under commit 2's test: no listener on 127.0.0.1:19896;
the default onion bind made fatal again: node 2 doesn't start while the port is held;
the wildcard check removed: the node starts with a wildcard onion bind.
Commit 1 alone builds, and feature_bind_extra.py feature_proxy.py p2p_permissions.py pass at that commit.
Not covered by a functional test: which listener the automatic onion service is told to forward to (that would need a fake Tor control port), and that peers on our own non-onion listener at 127.0.0.1:19896 aren't treated as onion peers. Both were checked during development with a test that is no longer part of the PR.
Breaking Changes
Compared with v24.0.0-rc.1 to rc.5: none. Nodes that failed to start now start, apart from S3, which already failed. Compared with v23: the four rows in "What still differs from v23" above.

Walkthrough
Startup fails when a configured -bind or -whitebind cannot be set up. The default onion bind is optional unless -listenonion=1 is explicit. Automatic onion services use a successfully bound, non-wildcard onion address. Tor control can start without a service target, so outbound onion connections remain available. Functional tests cover target selection, occupied ports, peer classification, and startup behavior.

Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2
The networking changes preserve the dedicated-onion-listener privacy boundary, but the new regression test can deterministically collide with its own clearnet listener for a supported port seed. Two non-blocking items remain: missing startup feedback for wildcard-only onion binds and the required Dash-specific file inventory entry. Static verification covered head 51ab18b; current CI passes standard, SQLite, and no-wallet tests and completed builds, while ASan tests, TSan tests, and the multiprocess build remain pending.
Triage: normal by gpt-6.1-sol (effort low) — The change spans onion listener setup, startup failure policy, Tor control sequencing, and functional tests, but does not itself modify any of the specified critical surfaces.
These findings are from an automated code review. Verify each finding against the current code and only fix it if needed.
In `test/functional/feature_tor_onion_target.py`:
- [BLOCKING] test/functional/feature_tor_onion_target.py:28-31: Reserve the fixed onion port from the framework's allocated ports
The fixed port 19896 overlaps the framework's default P2P allocation range. With the supported --portseed=8428, p2p_port(0) evaluates to 11000 + (20 * 8428) % 9979 = 19896. The framework supplies bind=127.0.0.1 and port=19896 in the node configuration, so the first startup binds the clearnet listener there before attempting the implicit onion bind. The onion bind then fails, Tor receives no ADD_ONION command, and the test times out waiting for "ADD_ONION successful". Standalone runs default to the process ID as their seed, so this does not require deliberately selecting that seed. Reserve the fixed onion port in the allocator, or ensure this test's allocated listener ports avoid it. Making this the only test explicitly binding the default onion port does not prevent allocator collisions.
- [NITPICK] test/functional/feature_tor_onion_target.py:1-5: Register the new Dash-specific test in the file inventory
The new Dash-specific regression test is not listed in test/util/data/non-backported.txt, and no existing pattern in that inventory covers it. Add test/functional/feature_tor_onion_target.py to comply with the project's requirement to register new Dash-specific files.
In `src/init.cpp`:
- [SUGGESTION] src/init.cpp:2733-2735: Warn when wildcard-only onion binds disable the automatic service
When all explicitly configured onion binds are wildcards and -listenonion is left at its default, this branch leaves onion_service_target empty without reporting why the automatic service cannot be created. The explanatory LogPrintf in TorController::auth_cb runs only after successful Tor authentication, so an unavailable Tor control port leaves the unusable target configuration undiagnosed. Emit a non-fatal startup warning here explaining that the automatic service requires a specific onion bind. This preserves best-effort startup while making the configuration problem visible independently of Tor availability; the wildcard listener itself can remain available for manually configured forwarding.

Re-review — Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2
Static verification at head 8c5f538 confirms the wildcard diagnostic is fixed, but the new test still has a blocking cross-test port collision; the file-inventory finding is withdrawn because that list selects C++ inputs rather than functional tests. The supplied base-drift changes do not supersede the onion-listener fix, and the supplied merge evidence reports no conflicts. Current CI shows nowallet and TSAN source builds, lint, and ClangFormat passing, with other builds/tests pending; Cppcheck failed before analysis because its workflow invokes the nonexistent test/lint/cppcheck-dash.py, which is unrelated to this diff.

(existing thread: https://github.com/dashpay/dash/pull/8003#discussion_r4433173251)
Filtering this test's own ports does not reserve 19896 from parallel scripts. The shared p2p_port() allocator in test_framework/util.py still returns PORT_MIN + n + (20 * portseed) % 9979 without excluding the fixed onion target, and TestHandler launches scripts concurrently without an exclusion for this test. For example, selecting feature_discover.py followed by feature_tor_onion_target.py with TEST_RUNNER_PORT_MIN=19876 and two jobs assigns the sibling portseed=1 and this test portseed=0: the sibling's node 0 receives P2P port 19896. If the sibling binds first, this test cannot create its implicit onion listener and waits unsuccessfully for "ADD_ONION successful"; if this test binds first, the sibling's explicit P2P bind fails. The framework does supply per-node onion binds to ordinary bind-on-any tests, but that does not prevent their normal allocated P2P ports from overlapping this fixed target. Reserve 19896 in the shared allocation mechanism or schedule this fixed-port test exclusively.

Pull request description:
## Issue being fixed or feature implemented
Peers that reach us through our onion service are forwarded by the local Tor daemon, so their source address is Tor's, usually `127.0.0.1`. Today `-whitelist` is matched against that address. With a common entry like `-whitelist=noban@127.0.0.1`, every Tor peer gets `noban` (and whatever other permissions the entry grants). This has been the case since onion binds were introduced, v23 included.
This complements #8003. #8003 makes sure Tor only ever forwards to a listener that tags its peers as onion. This PR then stops address-based `-whitelist` permissions from applying to those peers. `-whitebind` is unaffected because it is per listener, and #8003 already avoids pointing Tor at our own `-whitebind`.
## What was done?
Backports, in upstream order:
- **bitcoin#27114** (prerequisite): `-whitelist` accepts `in` and `out` flags, so permissions can also apply to manual outbound connections (`-addnode`, `-connect`, `addnode onetry`); the default stays incoming only. Whitelist ranges are split into incoming and outgoing lists, and `-whitelistrelay`/`-whitelistforcerelay` are stored in `CConnman`. Tests that whitelisted peers to speed up relay use the new `noban_tx_relay` framework option.
- Dash adaptations: test hunks for files Dash doesn't have (`p2p_feefilter.py`, `p2p_segwit.py`, `wallet_address_types.py`, `wallet_avoid_mixing_output_types.py`, `wallet_bumpfee.py`) are dropped; converted tests keep their Dash-specific arguments. Masternode, probe and CoinJoin connections are not `MANUAL`, so they never pick up the outgoing whitelist.
- **bitcoin#33395**: `CreateNodeFromAcceptedSocket` determines `inbound_onion` first and applies no address-based whitelist permissions to onion inbounds. Applies 1:1 on top of bitcoin#27114.
- A Dash test commit adds a check to `p2p_permissions.py`, since upstream has no test for bitcoin#33395.
## How Has This Been Tested?
- New check in `p2p_permissions.py`: with `-whitelist=noban@127.0.0.1` and `-bind=127.0.0.1:<port>=onion`, a peer on the clearnet bind gets `noban, download` and a peer on the onion bind (`network=onion`) gets no permissions. Without the bitcoin#33395 commit it fails with the onion peer holding `noban, download`.
- Full build including the fuzz harness; `test_dash --run_test=netbase_tests,net_tests,net_peer_eviction_tests`.
- Every functional test touched by bitcoin#27114 (both wallet variants where applicable, `interface_zmq.py` included), plus `rpc_net.py`, `p2p_eviction.py`, `feature_proxy.py`, `feature_bind_extra.py`, `p2p_addr_relay.py`, pass on Linux x86_64.
- Merges cleanly with #8003.
## Breaking Changes
- Inbound onion peers no longer receive permissions from `-whitelist`, even if an entry matches the Tor daemon's address. Address-based whitelisting can't identify Tor peers, so this is intended.
- `-whitelist=in,out@<addr>` without any permission is now a startup error (from bitcoin#27114).

Re-review — Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2
Verified the combined reviewer evidence against head 9b74e12 using static source inspection. The wildcard-only diagnostic is fixed, but the fixed-port reservation remains incomplete because arithmetic consumers can still allocate 19896, causing parallel functional-test failures. Current CI reports successful Linux build/tests, macOS build, lint, Cppcheck and formatting; additional platform and configuration builds remain pending.
Triage: normal by gpt-6.1-sol (effort low) — The change coordinates onion listener binding, startup failure policy, and Tor controller initialization across several files, but does not change any of the specified critical surfaces.
These findings are from an automated code review. Verify each finding against the current code and only fix it if needed.
In `test/functional/test_framework/util.py`:
- [BLOCKING] test/functional/test_framework/util.py:373-376: Reserve the fixed onion port from the framework's allocated ports
The shared remap excludes 19896 from direct helper results, but existing consumers allocate additional ports by incrementing those results. feature_bind_extra.py:40-66 starts at p2p_port(3) and assigns four successive ports. With the default PORT_MIN and --portseed=5434, that helper returns 19893, so node 2 still explicitly binds 19896. This also creates a collision within one parallel runner invocation: selecting feature_bind_extra.py and feature_tor_onion_target.py with TEST_RUNNER_PORT_MIN=19870 and -j2 assigns seed 1 to feature_bind_extra.py, which again binds node 2 to 19896 while the new Tor test requires that fixed listener. Depending on startup ordering, either the explicit bind fails or the Tor test cannot create its expected onion service. The successful original reproductions demonstrate that direct allocations were fixed, but do not cover these derived allocations. Update arithmetic consumers to obtain each socket's port through the reservation-aware allocator, including the equivalent base-plus-offset allocations in interface_zmq.py, so the reservation covers all ports used by the suite.

- [SUGGESTION] test/functional/feature_bind_extra.py:103-112: Cover Tor target suppression after an optional bind failure
These scenarios direct Tor control to an unavailable endpoint and assert only startup and listening sockets. Removing either the failed-target erasure in CConnman::InitBinds or the HasOnionBind/reset guard in init would therefore leave these assertions passing, although an authenticated Tor controller could then forward to the process holding the default onion port. The existing torcontrol unit tests cover parsing rather than this decision. Extend this test with a recording fake Tor control endpoint: verify that a successful bind produces ADD_ONION with the dedicated target, while an occupied target still permits SOCKS discovery through GETINFO net/listeners/socks but never produces ADD_ONION. A focused networking test can additionally protect the requirement that an ordinary listener occupying that address is not classified as onion after the optional bind fails.

…ss -listenonion=1
Since dashpay#7786, a node with -bind but no specific -bind=<addr>=onion refuses to
start while -listenonion is enabled. -listenonion is on by default, so this
hits every node with bind= and no Tor (dashmate evonodes, docker,
multi-masternode hosts), which all started on v23.
Keep the privacy fix: Tor is still never pointed at a listener that isn't
tagged as onion. But without an onion bind, the default -listenonion now
connects to Tor without a target: it still authenticates and discovers the
onion SOCKS proxy, but skips ADD_ONION and logs once why no onion service was
created. Only an explicit -listenonion=1 keeps that startup error.
A wildcard =onion bind stays a startup error while -listenonion is enabled,
by default too, also next to a specific one. Writing =onion asks for Tor, and
a wildcard listener can't honor it: an accepted socket reports its concrete
local address, which never matches the wildcard entry, so peers that Tor
forwards there would be treated as clearnet peers and could be told our
clearnet address. Setups without Tor don't write =onion, so they are not
affected. With -listenonion=0 a wildcard =onion bind is still accepted.

v23 always bound the default onion target 127.0.0.1:<OnionServiceTargetPort>
and pointed the automatic onion service at it, also with -bind. dashpay#7300 dropped
that bind whenever -bind is given, and made every bind failure fatal, so a
second instance on the same host (or any node whose default onion port is
taken) refused to start, even with -listenonion=0.
Add the default onion bind again when there is no -bind=...=onion and
-listenonion is enabled, even with -bind, and keep adding it when there are no
binds at all. With -bind and -listenonion=0 it is still not added. A failure
to bind it is only a warning, unless -listenonion=1 is set explicitly; explicit
-bind, -whitebind and =onion binds stay fatal.
A default onion bind that failed is dropped from the onion binds, and Tor
control, which now starts after connman has bound its listeners, gets it as
target only if it is still there. Otherwise Tor control runs without a target,
rather than pointing Tor at whatever holds the port (another instance, as on
v23, or our own -bind/-whitebind on that address).
p2p_permissions.py now gives its whitebind-only node a per-node onion bind, so
feature_bind_extra.py is the only test that binds the fixed regtest onion
target port 19896. The test framework's p2p_port(), rpc_port() and
tor_port() no longer hand it out either: within each of the three port
ranges, a node gets PORT_MIN + range * 10000 + n + (20 * seed) % 9979, whose
offset is at most 9998, so no port seed and node index ever get offset 9999.
A result of 19896 is moved to that last port of its own range. Every other
port is unchanged, and the moved one can't collide with any seed's ports.
feature_bind_extra.py and interface_zmq.py took extra ports by adding to a
p2p_port() result, which could still land on 19896, so they now get each port
from p2p_port().

## Issue being fixed or feature implemented
Since dashpay#7786 (shipped to v24.0.x for rc.3 via dashpay#7808), a node with `-bind` but no `-bind=<addr>:<port>=onion` refuses to start while `-listenonion` is enabled. `-listenonion` is on by default, so this breaks every node with `bind=` and no Tor that worked on v23: dashmate evonodes, docker setups, hosts with several masternodes. It also hits 54 of DCG's 88 testnet hosts. The startup errors came from a partial backport of bitcoin#36170, which is still open upstream; released Bitcoin Core does not refuse to start here.
Breakage matrix, develop / v24.0.0-rc.5 vs v23:
| | Setup | rc.5 | v23 |
|---|---|---|---|
| S1 | `-bind`, no Tor, default `-listenonion` | refuses to start | starts |
| S2 | `-bind`, zero-config Tor, default `-listenonion` | refuses to start | starts, onion service on the dedicated `127.0.0.1:9996` listener |
| S3 | wildcard `-bind=0.0.0.0:P=onion`, `-listenonion` effective | refuses to start (kept by this PR) | starts, but Tor was pointed at a wildcard, which never worked, and Tor peers reaching it were treated as clearnet |
| S4 | no `-bind`, default onion port already taken (e.g. a second instance with `-port`) | refuses to start, even with `-listenonion=0` | starts with a warning |
The privacy fix from dashpay#7786 has to stay: Tor must never be pointed at a listener that isn't tagged as onion. Otherwise Tor-forwarded peers are treated as clearnet peers and are told the node's clearnet address. Before dashpay#7786, dashpay#7300 (backport of bitcoin#22729) caused exactly that by targeting the first `-bind`.
The rule this PR implements: only an explicit `-listenonion=1` may turn a missing or unusable onion listener into a startup failure. The default `-listenonion` means "use Tor if it is there" (bitcoin#6639).
The one exception is a wildcard `=onion` bind (S3). Writing `=onion` is explicit Tor intent, and a wildcard listener can't honor it: an accepted socket reports its concrete local address, which never matches the wildcard entry in `m_onion_binds`, so peers that Tor forwards there would be treated as clearnet and could be told our clearnet address. So while `-listenonion` is effective, default or explicit, any wildcard `=onion` bind, including one next to a specific bind, is a startup error with the existing message, as on rc.5 and in bitcoin#36170. With `-listenonion=0` it is accepted, as in v23 and released Bitcoin Core. Setups without Tor don't write `=onion`, so S1 always starts.
## What was done?
Two commits. The second can be dropped on its own if reviewers prefer.
**1. `fix(net): don't refuse to start over the automatic onion service unless -listenonion=1`** (fixes S1 and S2 at startup)
- The `TorController` target is now `std::optional<CService>`. Without a target, Tor control still authenticates and runs `GETINFO net/listeners/socks` (outbound onion proxy discovery), but skips `ADD_ONION`. Once authenticated, it logs once that no onion service is created because there is no dedicated onion bind. Without Tor, the control-port connect just fails, as on v23.
- In init, with `-listenonion` effective:
- any wildcard onion bind: the existing wildcard `InitError`, default or explicit;
- no onion bind and explicit `-listenonion=1`: the existing "requires a dedicated onion bind" `InitError`;
- no onion bind and the default `-listenonion`: Tor control starts without a target.
**2. `fix(net): restore the default onion bind as a best-effort listener`** (fixes S2 and S4 fully)
- The default onion bind `127.0.0.1:<OnionServiceTargetPort>` is added again when there is no `=onion` bind and `-listenonion` is effective, even with `-bind`, as on v23 (the rule from dashpay#7786's first two commits). It is still added when there are no binds at all, for manual-torrc setups. With `-bind` and `-listenonion=0` it is not added.
- Failing to bind it only logs a warning; explicit `-bind`, `-whitebind` and `=onion` failures stay fatal. With an explicit `-listenonion=1`, the default onion bind is required and its failure is fatal. That happens inside `InitBinds`, before network threads start.
- A failed default onion bind is dropped from `CConnman`'s onion binds. Tor control now starts after `connman->Start()` and gets the target only if `CConnman::HasOnionBind()` still has it; otherwise it runs without a target. This avoids v23's misroute, where Tor forwarded to whatever held the port: another instance, or the node's own `-bind`/`-whitebind` on that address. Nothing between the old and new `StartTorControl` call sites depends on Tor control; onion proxy discovery was already asynchronous.
- `p2p_permissions.py` gives its whitebind-only node a per-node onion bind, and the test framework's `p2p_port()`, `rpc_port()` and `tor_port()` never return the fixed regtest onion port `19896` (it is moved to the last port of its range, which no seed uses). `feature_bind_extra.py` and `interface_zmq.py` now get each extra port from `p2p_port()` instead of adding to one. That makes `feature_bind_extra.py` the only test binding `19896`, for every port seed and in parallel `test_runner.py` runs.
Docs: the `-bind` and `-listenonion` help, `doc/release-notes-7300.md` (the v24 note that said such nodes "now refuse to start") and `doc/tor.md` describe the new behavior. Translated strings are unchanged. Commit 2 no longer uses the "requires a dedicated onion bind" message.
Related: dashpay#7786, dashpay#7300, dashpay#7808, bitcoin#36170 (still open upstream), bitcoin#22729.
## How Has This Been Tested?
Linux x86_64, `--enable-debug` build.
- `feature_bind_extra.py`, which checks the node's actual listening sockets. Node 2 (`-bind` without an onion bind) is restarted with the framework's `listenonion=0` removed, so it runs with the default `-listenonion`:
- commit 1: it starts and listens only on its `-bind`;
- commit 2: it starts and also listens on the default onion target `127.0.0.1:19896`;
- commit 2, with `127.0.0.1:19896` held by another socket: it still starts and listens only on its `-bind`, while an explicit `-listenonion=1` fails with the bind error;
- a wildcard onion bind with the default `-listenonion` is the wildcard startup error, and with `-listenonion=0` it starts;
- node 2's initial start sets `-listenonion=0` explicitly in commit 2, which checks that no default onion bind is added in that case.
- Ran with both commits: `feature_bind_extra.py feature_proxy.py p2p_permissions.py interface_zmq.py rpc_bind.py feature_discover.py`, all pass (`rpc_bind.py --ipv6` skips on this host), also with `--portseed=8428` and in parallel with `TEST_RUNNER_PORT_MIN=19870`. Earlier revisions with the same `src/` also passed `rpc_net.py p2p_eviction.py feature_config_args.py p2p_addr_relay.py`, `test_dash --run_test=torcontrol_tests,net_tests,net_peer_eviction_tests`, `lint-whitespace.py` and `lint-python.py`. `check-doc.py` reports undocumented `-statsport` and `-printcrashinfo`, identically on develop.
- Mutation checks, each failing `feature_bind_extra.py`:
- develop's `src/`: node 2 refuses to start with the default `-listenonion`;
- commit 1's `src/` under commit 2's test: no listener on `127.0.0.1:19896`;
- the default onion bind made fatal again: node 2 doesn't start while the port is held;
- the wildcard check removed: the node starts with a wildcard onion bind.
- Commit 1 alone builds, and `feature_bind_extra.py feature_proxy.py p2p_permissions.py` pass at that commit.
- Not covered by a functional test: which listener the automatic onion service is told to forward to (that would need a fake Tor control port), and that peers on our own non-onion listener at `127.0.0.1:19896` aren't treated as onion peers. Both were checked during development with a test that is no longer part of the PR.
## Breaking Changes
Compared with v24.0.0-rc.1 to rc.5, none. Nodes that failed to start now start. Compared with v23:
- a wildcard `=onion` bind is a startup error unless `-listenonion=0` is set;
- if the default onion bind fails, no onion service is created, rather than pointing Tor at whatever holds the port;
- an explicit `-listenonion=1` without a usable onion bind is a startup error;
- `-bind` with `-listenonion=0` no longer binds the default onion port (from dashpay#7300).

Pull request description:
## Issue being fixed or feature implemented
Peers that reach us through our onion service are forwarded by the local Tor daemon, so their source address is Tor's, usually `127.0.0.1`. Today `-whitelist` is matched against that address. With a common entry like `-whitelist=noban@127.0.0.1`, every Tor peer gets `noban` (and whatever other permissions the entry grants). This has been the case since onion binds were introduced, v23 included.
This complements #8003. #8003 makes sure Tor only ever forwards to a listener that tags its peers as onion. This PR then stops address-based `-whitelist` permissions from applying to those peers. `-whitebind` is unaffected because it is per listener, and #8003 already avoids pointing Tor at our own `-whitebind`.
## What was done?
Backports, in upstream order:
- **bitcoin#27114** (prerequisite): `-whitelist` accepts `in` and `out` flags, so permissions can also apply to manual outbound connections (`-addnode`, `-connect`, `addnode onetry`); the default stays incoming only. Whitelist ranges are split into incoming and outgoing lists, and `-whitelistrelay`/`-whitelistforcerelay` are stored in `CConnman`. Tests that whitelisted peers to speed up relay use the new `noban_tx_relay` framework option.
- Dash adaptations: test hunks for files Dash doesn't have (`p2p_feefilter.py`, `p2p_segwit.py`, `wallet_address_types.py`, `wallet_avoid_mixing_output_types.py`, `wallet_bumpfee.py`) are dropped; converted tests keep their Dash-specific arguments. Masternode, probe and CoinJoin connections are not `MANUAL`, so they never pick up the outgoing whitelist.
- **bitcoin#33395**: `CreateNodeFromAcceptedSocket` determines `inbound_onion` first and applies no address-based whitelist permissions to onion inbounds. Applies 1:1 on top of bitcoin#27114.
- A Dash test commit adds a check to `p2p_permissions.py`, since upstream has no test for bitcoin#33395.
## How Has This Been Tested?
- New check in `p2p_permissions.py`: with `-whitelist=noban@127.0.0.1` and `-bind=127.0.0.1:<port>=onion`, a peer on the clearnet bind gets `noban, download` and a peer on the onion bind (`network=onion`) gets no permissions. Without the bitcoin#33395 commit it fails with the onion peer holding `noban, download`.
- Full build including the fuzz harness; `test_dash --run_test=netbase_tests,net_tests,net_peer_eviction_tests`.
- Every functional test touched by bitcoin#27114 (both wallet variants where applicable, `interface_zmq.py` included), plus `rpc_net.py`, `p2p_eviction.py`, `feature_proxy.py`, `feature_bind_extra.py`, `p2p_addr_relay.py`, pass on Linux x86_64.
- Merges cleanly with #8003.
## Breaking Changes
- Inbound onion peers no longer receive permissions from `-whitelist`, even if an entry matches the Tor daemon's address. Address-based whitelisting can't identify Tor peers, so this is intended.
- `-whitelist=in,out@<addr>` without any permission is now a startup error (from bitcoin#27114).

## Issue being fixed or feature implemented
Backports and release prep for v24.0.0-rc.6, on top of `v24.0.x` at d693c69 (the v24.0.0-rc.5 tag 8163290 plus the 2026-10 translations, #7989). After this PR, rc.6 only needs tagging and building.
## What was done?
Cherry-picked (`git cherry-pick -m1 -x`) every develop merge since rc.5 that carries `backport-candidate-24.0.x`, in develop merge order:
- #7990 fix(wallet): pay for 3 byte input and output counts so 253+ input sends work
- #8005 backport: bitcoin#27114, bitcoin#33395
- #7957 fix(qt): validate shared-masternode shares with the consensus rules
- #7996 fix(wallet): fill a CoinJoin promotion with sibling coins when needed
- #7995 fix(wallet): don't let a waiting CoinJoin promotion/demotion queue block standard mixing
- #7991 fix(qt): shared masternode wizard fixes for taken shares, unconfirmed funding and reply handling (labeled for 24.0.x, milestone 24.1)
- #8003 fix(net): don't refuse to start over the automatic onion service unless -listenonion=1 (picked after the CI commit below, once it merged)
Every pick changes exactly the same lines as its develop merge, except for one test-only adaptation in #8005, described in its commit message, and #8003's `doc/release-notes-7300.md` hunk, which lands in `doc/release-notes.md` (that file was folded in for v24.0.0 by #7970). bitcoin#27114 makes `wallet_import_rescan.py` restart its pruned nodes with their real `-prune` arguments; before, the restart passed only `-whitelist`, so they never actually ran pruned. On develop, #7860 removed the governance-disabled warning that pruned nodes print to stderr. This branch doesn't have #7860, so the test failed at shutdown on the unexpected stderr. The pick now stops the pruned nodes at the end of `run_test` with `EXPECTED_STDERR_NO_GOV_PRUNE`, the way `feature_pruning.py` does.
Release prep, in commits after the picks:
- `doc/release-notes.md`: `doc/release-notes-27114.md` is folded in and removed, as rc.5 did with the other individual notes (#7970). Also added: #8005's change that address-based `-whitelist` permissions no longer apply to onion inbound peers, and the CoinJoin conversion behaviour from #7995 and #7996. #7990, #7957 and #7991 fix code that is new in v24, so they get no release note.
- #8003's release-note change replaces the v24 bullet that said nodes with `-bind` and no onion bind "refuse to start", in a separate docs commit after the #8003 pick that also regenerates `dashd.1` and `dash-qt.1` for its `-bind`/`-listenonion` help.
- `doc/man/*.1`: regenerated with `contrib/devtools/gen-manpages.py` from a build of this branch with `CLIENT_VERSION_IS_RELEASE` set temporarily (not committed), as in #7974. Every page reads `v24.0.0`. They pick up #8005's `-whitelist`, `-whitelistrelay`, `-whitelistforcerelay` and `-blocksonly` help changes, and the `-assumevalid` defaults from #7980, which merged after the v24.0.0 man pages were generated.
One CI-only commit follows the first six picks. Pull requests into `v24.0.x` run develop's workflow files (`pull_request_target`), and since #7966 develop runs cppcheck in its own job as `test/lint/cppcheck-dash.py`. This branch still had `test/lint/lint-cppcheck-dash.py`, so that job failed with "No such file or directory". The commit takes only #7966's rename (the script is unchanged), which also keeps develop's lint job from running cppcheck a second time through `all-lint.py`. This branch's own `lint.yml` now calls the renamed script after `ci/dash/lint.sh`, so its push CI still runs cppcheck. The rest of #7966 (the ci-slim cppcheck build and the separate job) is left out.
Nothing else needs to change for the tag:
- `configure.ac` is already 24.0.0 with `CLIENT_VERSION_IS_RELEASE` false, so the build takes its version string from the `v24.0.0-rc.6` tag.
- The 2026-10 translations are already on the branch (#7989).
- `SECURITY.md` and the flatpak entry were done in #7972.
## How Has This Been Tested?
Linux x86_64 against depends, `--enable-debug --enable-werror --disable-hardening`. `dashd`, `dash-qt`, `test_dash` and `test_dash-qt` build cleanly.
- `make check`: all unit suites pass, and `test_dash-qt` passes (run with `QT_QPA_PLATFORM=minimal`).
- Functional tests, all passing: every test #8005 touches that the runner lists (`feature_cltv.py`, `feature_csv_activation.py`, `feature_dersig.py`, `feature_fee_estimation.py`, `interface_rest.py`, `interface_zmq.py`, `mempool_packages.py`, `p2p_filter.py`, `p2p_invalid_block.py`, `p2p_permissions.py`, `rpc_packages.py`, `rpc_rawtransaction.py`, `wallet_abandonconflict.py`, `wallet_avoidreuse.py`, `wallet_backup.py`, `wallet_balance.py`, `wallet_basic.py`, `wallet_create_tx.py`, `wallet_fundrawtransaction.py`, `wallet_groups.py`, `wallet_hd.py`, `wallet_import_rescan.py`, `wallet_importdescriptors.py`, `wallet_listreceivedby.py`, `wallet_listsinceblock.py`, `wallet_listtransactions.py`, `wallet_send.py`), plus `feature_bind_extra.py`, `feature_masternode_shares.py` and `rpc_coinjoin.py`.
- After the #8003 pick: `feature_bind_extra.py`, `feature_proxy.py`, `interface_zmq.py`, `p2p_permissions.py` and `torcontrol_tests` pass. #8003 changes the framework's port allocation, so the full non-extended functional suite was run as well: 313 passed, 12 skipped, 0 failed (`test_runner.py -j12` on a RAM disk).
- `wallet_import_rescan.py --legacy-wallet` failed before the adaptation above and passes with it.
- Each pick's changed lines were compared with its develop merge.
- Checked that every `doc/man/*.1` reads `v24.0.0` with no rc, git hash or `-dirty` suffix.
## Breaking Changes
Carried over from the picked PRs:
- #8005: address-based `-whitelist` permissions no longer apply to peers that connect through the onion service. Before, an entry such as `-whitelist=noban@127.0.0.1` gave every Tor peer its permissions. `-whitelist` also accepts `in`/`out` flags, so its permissions can apply to manual outbound connections; the default is still incoming only.
- #8003, relative to rc.5: nodes with `-bind` and no `=onion` bind start again, as on v23, and get the default onion bind unless `-listenonion=0` is set. If the default onion bind fails, the node starts without an onion service, unless `-listenonion=1` was set explicitly. A wildcard `=onion` bind is still an error while `-listenonion` is enabled; v23 accepted it.
- #7990: in wallets with 253 or more spendable coins, changeless transactions pay for 2 more bytes of fee.
- #7995: while a wallet still has coins to mix, it joins promotion/demotion queues that others opened, but opens its own only when it has no standard mixing session to join or start.

To clear up a misreading: the "refuses to start" cases in this PR's matrix are how develop and v24.0.0-rc.5 behaved before this PR. This PR removes startup failures and adds none compared with rc.5.
Setup
rc.5 (before this PR)
With this PR
S1: -bind, no Tor, default -listenonion
refuses to start
starts
S2: -bind, Tor with no torrc changes
refuses to start
starts, onion service on 127.0.0.1:9996
S3: wildcard -bind=0.0.0.0:P=onion, -listenonion on
refuses to start
still refuses, on purpose (-listenonion=0 starts)
S4: no -bind, default onion port already taken
refuses to start
starts, without an onion service
The description now has this table plus a second one listing the four remaining differences from v23.

Pull request description:
## Issue being fixed or feature implemented
Merges the v24.0.0 release back into develop, as the release process asks once `master` is fast-forwarded. `master`, `v24.0.x` and the signed `v24.0.0` tag all point to the same commit (938fba5).
## What was done?
One merge commit of `master` into develop.
`v24.0.x` was cut from develop, so all of its code is already here. Every commit on it that develop lacks by patch is one of these:
- a `cherry-pick -x` of a develop commit;
- covered by a develop PR: the index fixes by #8042, the mainnet V24 schedule by #7973, the cppcheck CI move by #7966;
- release bookkeeping.
Git reports conflicts in many files, because `v24.0.x` carries adapted copies of develop's changes. All of them resolve to develop's side, which keeps develop's code, translations and version (`configure.ac` stays at 24.1.0, `CLIENT_VERSION_IS_RELEASE` false).
Taken from v24.0.0:
- `doc/release-notes.md`: the v24.0.0 release notes. The v23.1.10 notes move to `doc/release-notes/dash/`.
- The man pages regenerated for v24.0.0, replacing develop's older v24.0.0 pages. A few entries (`-prune`, `-par`, `-parbls`, `-maxconnections`) still trail develop's help text, as they did before, until the next regeneration.
- `feature_addressindex.py`: the v24.0.x test that blocks orphaned while the address index is disabled are removed from it once it is re-enabled.
Release notes:
- Individual `doc/release-notes-*.md` files whose content is in the v24.0.0 notes are removed. This includes `release-notes-8018.md`, `release-notes-8029.md` and `release-notes-27114.md`, whose changes shipped in v24.0.0 without the files.
- `release-notes-28113.md` and `release-notes-28414.md` also covered `descriptorprocesspsbt`, which only develop has. They are trimmed to that RPC instead of removed.
- Notes for changes v24.0.0 doesn't include stay: #7812, #7847, #7860, #7862, bitcoin#25943, bitcoin#26485 and bitcoin#27501.
## How Has This Been Tested?
macOS arm64 against depends, `--enable-debug --enable-werror --disable-hardening --without-gui`. `dashd`, `dash-cli` and `test_dash` build cleanly.
- `src/` is byte-identical to develop's. The only non-doc change is the new `feature_addressindex.py` case.
- Functional tests, all passing: `feature_addressindex.py` (with the new case) and `feature_spentindex.py`.
- Unit suites, all passing: `txindex_tests`, `blockfilter_index_tests`, `coinstatsindex_tests`, `index_migration_tests`, `baseindex_tests`.
- `lint-python.py`, `lint-whitespace.py`, `lint-includes.py` and `lint-circular-dependencies.py` pass.
- An independent review checked every non-merge commit in `develop..master` against develop (by patch, by cherry-pick source, and line by line for the rest), re-merged each `v24.0.x` merge commit to look for content added in a merge, and checked each release-note file decision.
I did not run the full functional suite locally; CI covers it.
## Breaking Changes
None. Develop's code is unchanged; the only non-doc change is the new functional test case.

Issue being fixed or feature implemented
Since #7786 (shipped to v24.0.x for rc.3 via #7808), a node with
-bindbut no-bind=<addr>:<port>=onionrefuses to start while-listenonionis enabled.-listenonionis on by default, so this breaks every node withbind=and no Tor that worked on v23: dashmate evonodes, docker setups, hosts with several masternodes. It also hits 54 of DCG's 88 testnet hosts. The startup errors came from a partial backport of bitcoin#36170, which is still open upstream; released Bitcoin Core does not refuse to start here.This PR removes startup failures; it adds none compared with rc.5. Each "refuses to start" in the first table is how develop and v24.0.0-rc.5 behave before this PR.
What changes compared with v24.0.0-rc.5
-bind, no Tor, default-listenonion-bind, Tor running with no torrc changes, default-listenonion127.0.0.1:9996listener, as on v23-bind=0.0.0.0:P=onion,-listenonionon (default or=1)-listenonion=0starts-bind, default onion port already taken (e.g. a second instance with-port)-listenonion=0What still differs from v23
These are the only remaining differences from v23. Each one stops Tor from being pointed at a listener that doesn't tag its peers as onion, or turns an explicit
-listenonion=1that can't be honored into an error.=onionbind,-listenonionon-listenonion=0starts)-listenonion=1without a working onion listener-bindwith-listenonion=0127.0.0.1:9996Ports are mainnet's; regtest uses
19896.The privacy fix from #7786 has to stay: Tor must never be pointed at a listener that isn't tagged as onion. Otherwise Tor-forwarded peers are treated as clearnet peers and are told the node's clearnet address. Before #7786, #7300 (backport of bitcoin#22729) caused exactly that by targeting the first
-bind.The rule this PR implements: only an explicit
-listenonion=1may turn a missing or unusable onion listener into a startup failure. The default-listenonionmeans "use Tor if it is there" (bitcoin#6639).The one exception is a wildcard
=onionbind (S3). Writing=onionis explicit Tor intent, and a wildcard listener can't honor it: an accepted socket reports its concrete local address, which never matches the wildcard entry inm_onion_binds, so peers that Tor forwards there would be treated as clearnet and could be told our clearnet address. So while-listenonionis effective, default or explicit, any wildcard=onionbind, including one next to a specific bind, is a startup error with the existing message, as on rc.5 and in bitcoin#36170. With-listenonion=0it is accepted, as in v23 and released Bitcoin Core. Setups without Tor don't write=onion, so S1 always starts.What was done?
Two commits. The second can be dropped on its own if reviewers prefer.

fix(net): don't refuse to start over the automatic onion service unless -listenonion=1(fixes S1 and S2 at startup)TorControllertarget is nowstd::optional<CService>. Without a target, Tor control still authenticates and runsGETINFO net/listeners/socks(outbound onion proxy discovery), but skipsADD_ONION. Once authenticated, it logs once that no onion service is created because there is no dedicated onion bind. Without Tor, the control-port connect just fails, as on v23.-listenonioneffective:InitError, default or explicit;-listenonion=1: the existing "requires a dedicated onion bind"InitError;-listenonion: Tor control starts without a target.2.
fix(net): restore the default onion bind as a best-effort listener(fixes S2 and S4 fully)127.0.0.1:<OnionServiceTargetPort>is added again when there is no=onionbind and-listenonionis effective, even with-bind, as on v23 (the rule from fix(net): keep a dedicated onion listener when -bind is given and correct the bind release note #7786's first two commits). It is still added when there are no binds at all, for manual-torrc setups. With-bindand-listenonion=0it is not added.-bind,-whitebindand=onionfailures stay fatal. With an explicit-listenonion=1, the default onion bind is required and its failure is fatal. That happens insideInitBinds, before network threads start.CConnman's onion binds. Tor control now starts afterconnman->Start()and gets the target only ifCConnman::HasOnionBind()still has it; otherwise it runs without a target. This avoids v23's misroute, where Tor forwarded to whatever held the port: another instance, or the node's own-bind/-whitebindon that address. Nothing between the old and newStartTorControlcall sites depends on Tor control; onion proxy discovery was already asynchronous.p2p_permissions.pygives its whitebind-only node a per-node onion bind, and the test framework'sp2p_port(),rpc_port()andtor_port()never return the fixed regtest onion port19896(it is moved to the last port of its range, which no seed uses).feature_bind_extra.pyandinterface_zmq.pynow get each extra port fromp2p_port()instead of adding to one. That makesfeature_bind_extra.pythe only test binding19896, for every port seed and in paralleltest_runner.pyruns.Docs: the
-bindand-listenonionhelp,doc/release-notes-7300.md(the v24 note that said such nodes "now refuse to start") anddoc/tor.mddescribe the new behavior. Translated strings are unchanged. Commit 2 no longer uses the "requires a dedicated onion bind" message.Related: #7786, #7300, #7808, bitcoin#36170 (still open upstream), bitcoin#22729.
How Has This Been Tested?
Linux x86_64,
--enable-debugbuild.feature_bind_extra.py, which checks the node's actual listening sockets. Node 2 (-bindwithout an onion bind) is restarted with the framework'slistenonion=0removed, so it runs with the default-listenonion:-bind;127.0.0.1:19896;127.0.0.1:19896held by another socket: it still starts and listens only on its-bind, while an explicit-listenonion=1fails with the bind error;-listenonionis the wildcard startup error, and with-listenonion=0it starts;-listenonion=0explicitly in commit 2, which checks that no default onion bind is added in that case.feature_bind_extra.py feature_proxy.py p2p_permissions.py interface_zmq.py rpc_bind.py feature_discover.py, all pass (rpc_bind.py --ipv6skips on this host), also with--portseed=8428and in parallel withTEST_RUNNER_PORT_MIN=19870.

Compared with v24.0.0-rc.1 to rc.5: none. Nodes that failed to start now start, apart from S3, which already failed. Compared with v23: the four rows in "What still differs from v23" above.
