TOR⚑

Configuration⚑

Hidden services⚑

1. Enable HiddenServiceDir and at least one HiddenServicePort in /etc/tor/torrc.
2. Then create the HiddenServiceDir and give it the proper permissions, for example:

   mkdir /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/
   chown debian-tor:debian-tor /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/
   chmod 0700 /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/
   

3. Restart the tor service.

You can get the hostname (.onion) from HiddenServiceDir/hostname.

To get a customized .onion url you can use Shallot.
