- Now that you have a website, why not offer it on a private alternative such as the onion network?
- </p>
-
- <h2>Setting up Tor</h2>
-
- <h3>Installing Tor</h3>
-
- <p>First, we need to ensure that our CPU architecture is supported. Ensure that it is either amd64, arm64, or i386:</p>
- <pre><code>dpkg --print-architecture</code></pre>
-
- <p>We need to <a href="https://support.torproject.org/apt/tor-deb-repo/">add the Tor repos to our system</a> to get the latest version of Tor:</p>
- <pre><code>apt install -y apt-transport-https gpg
-echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/tor-archive-keyring.gpg] https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org $(lsb_release -cs) main
-deb-src [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/tor-archive-keyring.gpg] https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org $(lsb_release -cs) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tor.list</code></pre>
-
- <p>Then we need to add the GPG keys to our keyring:</p>
-
- <pre><code>curl -s https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org/A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89.asc | gpg --dearmor > /usr/share/keyrings/tor-archive-keyring.gpg</code></pre>
-
- <p>Now install Tor:</p>
-
- <pre><code>apt update
-apt install tor deb.torproject.org-keyring</code></pre>
-
- <h3>Enabling Tor</h3>
-
- <p>Next edit the file <code>/etc/tor/torrc</code>, uncommenting the following lines:</p>
- <pre><code>HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/
-HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:80</code></pre>
- <aside>
- <h4>Optional: Running multiple onion services</h4>
- <p>If you want to forward multiple virtual ports for a single onion
- service, just add more HiddenServicePort lines (replace the 80 with any unoccupied port).
- </p>
- <p>If you want to run multiple onion services from the same Tor client, just add another
- HiddenServiceDir line.</p>
- </aside>
-
- <p>Now start and enable Tor at boot:</p>
- <pre><code> systemctl enable --now tor </code></pre>
-
- <p>If the next command outputs <q>active</q> in green you're golden!</p>
- <pre><code> systemctl status tor</code></pre>
-
- <p>Now your server is on the dark web. The following command will give you your onion address:</p>
- <pre><code> cat /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/hostname</code></pre>
-
- <h2>Adding the Nginx Config</h2>
- <p>
- From here, the steps are almost identical to setting up a normal website configuration file.
- Follow the steps as if you were making a new website in the webserver
- <a href="nginx.html">tutorial</a> up until the server block of code. Instead, paste this:
- </p>
-
- <pre><code> server {
- listen 127.0.0.1:80 ;
- root /var/www/<strong>landchad</strong> ;
- index index.html ;
- server_name <strong>your-onion-address</strong>.onion ;
- }</code></pre>
-
- <aside>
- <h4>Clarification</h4>
- <p>Nginx will listen on port 80 for your <em>server's</em> localhost.</p>
- <p>The <code>root</code> line is the path to whichever website of yours you'd like to mirror.</p>
- </aside>
- <p>
- Now we are almost done, all we have to do is enable the site and reload nginx which, is also covered in <a href="nginx.html#enable">the webserver tutorial</a>.
- </p>
-
- <h3>Advertise your onion service</h3>
-
- <p>You can add the Onion-Location header to your normal website to advertise your onion service to Tor users. On your regular site's nginx config, add the following line:</p>
- <pre><code>server {
- ...
- add_header Onion-Location http://<strong>your-onion-address</strong>.onion$request_uri;
-}</code></pre>
- <p>After doing this and reloading nginx, when visiting your regular site via Tor, you should see a ".onion available" button on the address bar, which should take you to the onion service.</p>
-
- <h3>Update regularly!</h3>
-
- <p>Make sure to update Tor on a regular basis by running:</p>
- <pre><code>apt update
-apt install tor</code></pre>
-
- <h4>Note:</h4>
- <p>You do <u>not</u> need to run certbot for an ssl certificate. HTTP over tor is plenty secure!</p>
