+# Regtest
+
+By default, the enforcer runs against our custom signet. If you instead want to
+run against a local regtest, you need to also run a local regtest Electrum
+server.
+
+This can be done by:
+
+```bash
+$ git clone https://github.com/romanz/electrs
+
+# from within the cloned directory
+# note that electrs does not like user + password auth!
+# you'll have to used cookie-based authentication
+$ cargo run --release -- --network regtest \
+    --daemon-dir $HOME/.bitcoin \
+    --log-filters INFO
+```
