Configuring a hidden service

- -

Tor allows clients and servers to offer hidden services. That -is, you can offer an apache, sshd, etc, without revealing your IP to its -users. This works via Tor's rendezvous point design: both sides build -a Tor circuit out, and they meet in the middle.

- -

Once you've installed Tor and Privoxy, you can go to the hidden wiki to see -hidden services in action.

- -

To set up a hidden service, edit your torrc:

- -[screenshot here of clicking on tor|torrc] - -

Edit the middle part to enable your service. Then restart Tor. It will -create each HiddenServiceDir you have configured, and it will create a -'hostname' file which specifies the url (xyz.onion) for that service. You -can tell people the url, and they can connect to it via their Tor client, -assuming they're also using Tor and Privoxy.
