        <p>
        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>Firstly we need to add the Tor repos to our system to get the latest version of Tor:</p>
        <pre><code>apt install -y apt-transport-https gpg
echo "deb https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org buster main
deb-src https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org buster 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 --import
gpg --export A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89 | apt-key add -</code></pre>

	<p>Now update and 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>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>
