So I'm running monero on tails and the remote nodes are very unreliable. I was thinking about running a local node. I've read the sheep's noob guide but I'm hesitant to mess with the IP tables and torsocks. Is this safe and necessary to do on tails?

If you go into the GUI where it says local node you can specify where you want to download the blockchain
