2 'tor' is an implementation of The Onion Routing system, as
3 described in a bit more detail at http://www.onion-router.net/. You

18 Do you want to run a tor server?
20 First, move sample-server-torrc onto torrc, and edit it. Create the
21 DataDirectory, and make sure it's owned by whoever will be running
22 tor. Fix your system clock so it's not too far off. Make sure name
23 resolution works. Make sure other people can reliably resolve the
26 Then run tor to generate keys. One of the files generated
27 in your DataDirectory is your 'fingerprint' file. Mail it to
28 arma@mit.edu. Remember that you won't be able to authenticate to the
29 other tor nodes until I've added you to the directory.
33 If you want to use Tor for protocols that can't use Privoxy, or
34 with applications that are not socksified, then download tsocks
35 (tsocks.sourceforge.net) and configure it to talk to localhost:9050
36 as a socks4 server. My /etc/tsocks.conf simply has:
39 (I had to "cd /usr/lib; ln -s /lib/libtsocks.so" to get the tsocks
40 library working after install, since my libpath didn't include /lib.)
41 Then you can do "tsocks ssh arma@moria.mit.edu". But note that if
42 ssh is suid root, you either need to do this as root, or cp a local
43 version of ssh that isn't suid.
