### Tor Hidden Services

Watchtowers have tor hidden service support and can automatically generate a
hidden service on startup with the following flags:

```
🏔 lnd --tor.active --tor.v3 --watchtower.active
```

The onion address is then shown in the "uris" field when queried with `lncli tower info`:

```
...
"uris": [
"03281d603b2c5e19b8893a484eb938d7377179a9ef1a6bca4c0bcbbfc291657b63@bn2kxggzjysvsd5o3uqe4h7655u7v2ydhxzy7ea2fx26duaixlwuguad.onion:9911"
]
```

Note: *The watchtower’s public key is distinct from `lnd`’s node public key. For
now this acts as a soft whitelist as it requires clients to know the tower’s
public key in order to use it for backups before more advanced whitelisting
