## Configuration file for a typical Tor user ## Last updated 9 February 2006 for Tor 0.1.1.13-alpha. ## (May or may not work for older or newer versions of Tor.) ## ## Lines that begin with "## " try to explain what's going on. Lines ## that begin with just "#" are disabled commands: you can enable them ## by removing the "#" symbol. ## ## See the man page, or http://tor.eff.org/tor-manual-cvs.html, for more ## options you can use in this file. ## ## On Unix, Tor will look for this file in someplace like "~/.tor/torrc" or ## "/etc/torrc" ## ## On Windows, Tor will look for the configuration file in someplace like ## "Application Data\tor\torrc" or "Application Data\\tor\torrc" ## ## With the default Mac OS X installer, Tor will look in ~/.tor/torrc or ## /Library/Tor/torrc ## Replace this with "SocksPort 0" if you plan to run Tor only as a ## server, and not make any local application connections yourself. SocksPort 9050 # what port to open for local application connections SocksListenAddress 127.0.0.1 # accept connections only from localhost #SocksListenAddress 192.168.0.1:9100 # listen on a chosen IP/port too ## Entry policies to allow/deny SOCKS requests based on IP address. ## First entry that matches wins. If no SocksPolicy is set, we accept ## all (and only) requests from SocksListenAddress. #SocksPolicy accept 192.168.0.0/16 #SocksPolicy reject * ## Logs go to stdout at level "notice" unless redirected by something ## else, like one of the below lines. You can have as many Log lines as ## you want. ## ## We advise using "notice" in most cases, since anything more verbose ## may provide sensitive information to an attacker who obtains the logs. ## ## Send all messages of level 'notice' or higher to @LOCALSTATEDIR@/log/tor/notices.log #Log notice file @LOCALSTATEDIR@/log/tor/notices.log ## Send every possible message to @LOCALSTATEDIR@/log/tor/debug.log #Log debug file @LOCALSTATEDIR@/log/tor/debug.log ## Use the system log instead of Tor's logfiles #Log notice syslog ## To send all messages to stderr: #Log debug stderr ## Uncomment this to start the process in the background... or use ## --runasdaemon 1 on the command line. This is ignored on Windows; ## see the FAQ entry if you want Tor to run as an NT service. #RunAsDaemon 1 ## The directory for keeping all the keys/etc. By default, we store ## things in $HOME/.tor on Unix, and in Application Data\tor on Windows. #DataDirectory @LOCALSTATEDIR@/lib/tor ## The port on which Tor will listen for local connections from Tor ## controller applications, as documented in control-spec.txt. #ControlPort 9051 ############### This section is just for location-hidden services ### ## Look in .../hidden_service/hostname for the address to tell people. ## HiddenServicePort x y:z says to redirect a port x request from the ## client to y:z. #HiddenServiceDir @LOCALSTATEDIR@/lib/tor/hidden_service/ #HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:80 #HiddenServiceDir @LOCALSTATEDIR@/lib/tor/other_hidden_service/ #HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:80 #HiddenServicePort 22 127.0.0.1:22 #HiddenServiceNodes moria1,moria2 #HiddenServiceExcludeNodes bad,otherbad ################ This section is just for servers ##################### ## NOTE: If you enable these, you should consider mailing your identity ## key fingerprint to the tor-ops, so we can add you to the list of ## servers that clients will trust. See ## http://tor.eff.org/cvs/tor/doc/tor-doc-server.html for details. ## Required: A unique handle for this server #Nickname ididnteditheconfig ## The IP or fqdn for this server. Leave commented out and Tor will guess. #Address noname.example.com ## Contact info that will be published in the directory, so we can ## contact you if you need to upgrade or if something goes wrong. ## This is optional but recommended. #ContactInfo Random Person ## You might also include your PGP or GPG fingerprint if you have one: #ContactInfo 1234D/FFFFFFFF Random Person ## Required: what port to advertise for tor connections #ORPort 9001 ## If you want to listen on a port other than the one advertised ## in ORPort (e.g. to advertise 443 but bind to 9090), uncomment ## the line below. You'll need to do ipchains or other port forwarding ## yourself to make this work. #ORListenAddress 0.0.0.0:9090 ## Uncomment this to mirror the directory for others (please do) #DirPort 9030 # what port to advertise for directory connections ## If you want to listen on a port other than the one advertised ## in DirPort (e.g. to advertise 80 but bind 9091), uncomment the line ## below. You'll need to do ipchains or other port forwarding yourself ## to make this work. #DirListenAddress 0.0.0.0:9091 ## Uncomment this if you run more than one Tor server, and add the ## nickname of each Tor server you control, even if they're on different ## networks. We declare it here so clients can avoid using more than ## one of your servers in a given circuit. #MyFamily nickname1,nickname2,... ## A comma-separated list of exit policies. They're considered first ## to last, and the first match wins. If you want to _replace_ ## the default exit policy, end this with either a reject *:* or an ## accept *:*. Otherwise, you're _augmenting_ (prepending to) the ## default exit policy. Leave commented to just use the default, which is ## available in the man page or at http://tor.eff.org/documentation.html ## ## Look at http://tor.eff.org/faq-abuse.html#TypicalAbuses ## for issues you might encounter if you use the default exit policy. ## ## If certain IPs and ports are blocked externally, e.g. by your firewall, ## you should update your exit policy to reflect this -- otherwise Tor ## users will be told that those destinations are down. ## #ExitPolicy accept *:6660-6667,reject *:* # allow irc ports but no more #ExitPolicy accept *:119 # accept nntp as well as default exit policy #ExitPolicy reject *:* # middleman only -- no exits allowed
