That is, +you can offer a web server, SSH server, etc., without revealing your +IP to its users. In fact, because you don't need any public address, +you can run a hidden service from behind your firewall. +</p> + +<p>This howto describes the steps for setting up your own hidden service +website. +</p> + +<hr /> +<a name="zero"></a> +<h3>Step Zero: Get Tor and Privoxy working</h3> + +<p>Before you start, you need to make sure 1) Tor is up and running, +2) Privoxy is up and running, 3) Privoxy is configured to point +to Tor, and 4) You actually set it up correctly.</p> + +<p>Windows users should follow the <a +href="http://tor.eff.org/doc/tor-doc-win32.html">Windows +howto</a>, and OS X users should follow the <a +href=http://tor.eff.org/doc/tor-doc-osx.html">OS +X howto</a>. Other users can find some hints <a +href="http://tor.eff.org/doc/tor-doc.html#installing">here</a>. +</p> + +<p>Once you've got Tor and Privoxy installed and configured, +you can see hidden services in action by clicking on <a +href="http://6sxoyfb3h2nvok2d.onion/">the hidden wiki</a> +in your browser. It will typically take 10-60 seconds to load +(or to decide that it is currently unreachable). If it fails +immediately and your browser pops up an alert saying that that +"www.6sxoyfb3h2nvok2d.onion could not be found, please check the name and +try again" then you haven't configured Tor and Privoxy correctly; see <a +href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#ItDoesntWork">this +FAQ entry</a> for some help. +</p> + +<hr /> +<a name="one"></a> +<h3>Step One: Configure an example hidden service</h3> + +<p>In this step, you're going to configure a hidden service that points +to www.google.com. This way we can make sure you've gotten this step +working before we start thinking about setting up a web server locally. +</p> + +<p>First, open your torrc file in your favorite text editor. (See <a +href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#torrc">this +FAQ entry</a> to learn what this means.) Go to the middle section and +look for the line<br /> +<tt>############### This section is just for location-hidden services ###</tt><br /> +</p> + +<p> +This section of the file consists of groups of lines, each representing +one hidden service. Right now they are all commented out (the lines +start with #), so now hidden services are enabled. Each group of lines +consists of one HiddenServiceDir line, and one or more HiddenServicePort +lines:</p> +<ul> +<li><b>HiddenServiceDir</b> is a directory where Tor will store information +about that hidden service. In particular, Tor will create 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.</li> +<li><b>HiddenServicePort</b> lets you specify a virtual port (that is, what +port people accessing the hidden service will think they're using) and an +IP address and port for redirecting connections to this virtual port.</li> +</ul> + +<p>In this example, we're going to set up a hidden service that points to +Google. So add the following lines to your torrc: +</p> + +<pre> +HiddenServiceDir /home/yourname/hidserv/ +HiddenServicePort 80 www.google.com:80 +</pre> + +<p>The above directory is for Windows people. OS X or Unix people should +use <tt>/tmp/hidserv</tt> instead. + +<hr /> + +<p>If you have suggestions for improving this document, please <a +href="mailto:tor-bugs@freehaven.net">send them to us</a>.
