<h2>Configuring a hidden service</h2>
<p>Tor allows clients and servers to offer <em>hidden services</em>. That
<p>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.</p>
<p>Using the built-in redirection (see below), it is possible to have a
server setup on localhost and only remote Tor connections can access it.</p>
<p>If you're using Tor and <a href="http://www.privoxy.org/">Privoxy</a>,
you can <a href="http://6sxoyfb3h2nvok2d.onion/">go to the hidden wiki</a>
to see hidden services in action.</p>

can tell people the url, and they can connect to it via their Tor client,
assuming they're using a proxy (such as Privoxy) that speaks SOCKS 4A.</p>
<p>Assume you want to have a hidden service to allow people to access your
Apache http server through tor. By doing this, they can access your server
but won't know who they are connecting to. You want them to access your
Apache server using the standard port 80. However, your Apache
server is actually running on port 8080 so it needs to be
redirected.</p>
<p><b>HiddenServiceDir</b> is a directory where Tor will store information
about that hidden service. In particular, it will store a file here named
<i>hostname</i> which will tell you the onion URL. You don't need to add any
files to this directory.</p>
<p><b>HiddenServicePort</b> is where you specify a virtual port and where
it should be redirected to. For instance, you tell tor there's a virtual
port 80 and then redirect traffic to your local webserver at
127.0.0.1:8080.</p>
<p>Example lines from a torrc file</p>
<pre>
HiddenServiceDir /usr/local/etc/tor/hidden_service/
HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:8080
</pre>
<p>This tells tor to store its files in <tt>/usr/local/etc/tor/hidden_service/</tt>
and allow people to connect to your onion address on port 80. It
will then redirect requests to your localhost webserver on port 8080.
</p>
<p>To let people access your hidden service, look at the file
<tt>/usr/local/etc/tor/hidden_service/hostname</tt> which will tell you what the
hostname is (such as xyz.onion). Then, as long as they have tor and privoxy
configured, they can access your webserver with a web browser by connecting
to http://xyz.onion.</p>
<p>You can have multiple tor hidden services by repeating Dir and Ports:</p>
<pre>
HiddenServiceDir /usr/local/etc/tor/hidden_service/
HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:8080
HiddenServiceDir /usr/local/etc/tor/other_hidden_service/
HiddenServicePort 6667 127.0.0.1:6667
HiddenServicePort 22 127.0.0.1:22
</pre>
<p>The above example will allow people to connect to the hostname in
<tt>/usr/local/etc/tor/hidden_service/hostname</tt> for an HTTP server and
to a different hostname in
<tt>/usr/local/etc/tor/other_hidden_service/hostname</tt> for an IRC and
SSH server.</p>
<p>To an end user, this appears to be two separate hosts with one running an
HTTP server and another running an IRC/SSH server.</p>
