+ <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>
