## Configuration file for a typical Tor user ## Last updated 12 April 2009 for Tor 0.2.1.14-rc. ## (May or may not work for much older or much 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 'man tor', or https://www.torproject.org/tor-manual.html, ## for more options you can use in this file. ## ## Tor will look for this file in various places based on your platform: ## https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#torrc ## ## This is a custom Slackware torrc. The original Tor Project torrc file is ## still available as /etc/torrc/torrc.sample ## Replace this with "SocksPort 0" if you plan to run Tor only as a ## relay, 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 this IP:port also ## 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 /var/log/tor/tor.log Log notice file /var/log/tor/tor.log ## Send all messages of level 'notice' or higher to /var/log/tor/notices.log #Log notice file /var/log/tor/notices.log ## Send every possible message to /var/log/tor/debug.log #Log debug file /var/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 /var/lib/tor ## On startup, setuid to this user and setgid to their primary group. User tor ## On startup, write our PID to /var/run/tor/tor.pid. ## On clean shutdown, remove /var/run/tor/tor.pid. PidFile /var/run/tor/tor.pid ## The port on which Tor will listen for local connections from Tor ## controller applications, as documented in control-spec.txt. #ControlPort 9051 ## If you enable the controlport, be sure to enable one of these ## authentication methods, to prevent attackers from accessing it. #HashedControlPassword 16:872860B76453A77D60CA2BB8C1A7042072093276A3D701AD684053EC4C #CookieAuthentication 1 ############### This section is just for location-hidden services ### ## Once you have configured a hidden service, you can look at the ## contents of the file ".../hidden_service/hostname" for the address ## to tell people. ## ## HiddenServicePort x y:z says to redirect requests on port x to the ## address y:z. #HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/ #HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:80 #HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/other_hidden_service/ #HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:80 #HiddenServicePort 22 127.0.0.1:22 ################ This section is just for relays ##################### # ## See https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-doc-relay for details. ## Required: what port to advertise for incoming 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 too. You'll need to do ipchains or other port forwarding ## yourself to make this work. #ORListenAddress 0.0.0.0:9090 ## A handle for your relay, so people don't have to refer to it by key. #Nickname ididnteditheconfig ## The IP address or full DNS name for your relay. Leave commented out ## and Tor will guess. #Address noname.example.com ## Define these to limit how much relayed traffic you will allow. Your ## own traffic is still unthrottled. Note that RelayBandwidthRate must ## be at least 20 KBytes. #RelayBandwidthRate 100 KBytes # Throttle traffic to 100KB/s (800Kbps) #RelayBandwidthBurst 200 KBytes # But allow bursts up to 200KB/s (1600Kbps) ## Contact info to be published in the directory, so we can contact you ## if your relay is misconfigured or something else goes wrong. Google ## indexes this, so spammers might also collect it. #ContactInfo Random Person ## You might also include your PGP or GPG fingerprint if you have one: #ContactInfo 1234D/FFFFFFFF Random Person ## Uncomment this to mirror directory information for others. Please do ## if you have enough bandwidth. #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 to 9091), uncomment the line ## below too. You'll need to do ipchains or other port forwarding yourself ## to make this work. #DirListenAddress 0.0.0.0:9091 ## Uncomment to return an arbitrary blob of html on your DirPort. Now you ## can explain what Tor is if anybody wonders why your IP address is ## contacting them. See contrib/tor-exit-notice.html for a sample. #DirPortFrontPage /etc/tor/exit-notice.html ## Uncomment this if you run more than one Tor relay, and add the identity ## key fingerprint of each Tor relay you control, even if they're on ## different networks. You declare it here so Tor clients can avoid ## using more than one of your relays in a single circuit. See ## https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#MultipleServers #MyFamily $keyid,$keyid,... ## 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 ## described in the man page or at ## https://www.torproject.org/documentation.html ## ## Look at https://www.torproject.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 *:* # no exits allowed # ## Bridge relays (or "bridges") are Tor relays that aren't listed in the ## main directory. Since there is no complete public list of them, even if an ## ISP is filtering connections to all the known Tor relays, they probably ## won't be able to block all the bridges. Also, websites won't treat you ## differently because they won't know you're running Tor. If you can ## be a real relay, please do; but if not, be a bridge! #BridgeRelay 1 #ExitPolicy reject *:*
