Do you want to run a tor server?
- We're looking for people with reasonably reliable Internet connections,
- that have at least 1Mbit each way. Currently we don't use all of that,
- but we want it available for burst traffic.
-
- (The Tor server doesn't need to be run as root, and doesn't need any
- special system permissions or kernel mods. You should probably run it
- as its own user though, especially if you run an identd service too.)
-
- First, copy torrc.sample to torrc (by default it's in
- /usr/local/etc/tor/), and edit the middle part. Create the
- DataDirectory, and make sure it's owned by the uid/gid that will be
- running tor. Fix your system clock so it's not too far off. Make sure
- name resolution works.
-
- Then run tor to generate keys. One of the files generated
- in your DataDirectory is your 'fingerprint' file. Mail it to
- tor-ops@freehaven.net.
-
- Please also tell us in that mail who you are, so we know whom to contact
- if there's any problem. Also describe what kind of connectivity the new
- server will have. If possible PGP sign your mail.
-
- You may find the initscript in contrib/tor.sh useful if you
- want to set up Tor to start at boot.

Do you want to run a hidden service?
- Copy torrc.sample to torrc (by default it's in /usr/local/etc/tor/), and
- edit the bottom part. Then run 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.
