# Monero CLI

This guide shows how to run Monero CLI with all outbound RPC traffic routed through the Anyone network, ensuring no direct daemon connections leak your real network identity.

#### 1 - Download and extract Monera CLI

Download the official Monero CLI binaries for your system from <https://www.getmonero.org/downloads/> and extract them.

```
wget https://downloads.getmonero.org/cli/linux64
tar -xvf linux64
```

This creates a directory similar to: monero-x86\_64-linux-gnu-v0.18.4.5/

#### 2 - Start Anyone client

Start the Anyone anonymizing overlay so the local SOCKS5 proxy is available, and confirm the service is running successfully.

```
sudo systemctl start anon
systemctl status anon
```

#### 3 - Navigate to the Monero CLI Directory

All Monero CLI commands must be executed from the extracted binaries directory.

Launch the Monero wallet with:

* SOCKS proxy enabled
* Remote daemon

```
cd ~/monero-x86_64-linux-gnu-v0.18.4.5

./monero-wallet-cli \
  --proxy 127.0.0.1:9050 \
  --daemon-address opennode.xmr-tw.org:18089 \
  --daemon-ssl-allow-any-cert
```

What this does:

* All daemon communication is routed through Anyone
* No direct RPC connections leave your machine

#### 4 - Open or Create Wallet

When prompted:

* Enter a wallet name (existing or new)
* Enter wallet password

The wallet will load and connect to the remote daemon.

#### 5 - Verify Traffic Is Routed Through Anyone

Verify Traffic Is Routed Through Anyone with a TCP dump. Keep this terminal running while you trigger wallet activity in the other terminal.

```
sudo tcpdump -i any port 9050 -nn
```

Now return to the wallet terminal and run:&#x20;

```
refresh
status
rescan_bc
```

Expected Result:&#x20;

* You should only see traffic between local address and the Anon SOCKS port (9050).
* You should not see direct connections to the RPC IP.

This confirms all Monero RPC traffic is passing through Anyone.
