Al> I don't know what button to press.. :)
Al> Where do you think we should start, tor?
Al> Let me know what I need to start and I'll get started.
Tor it is.
First you need to install Tor and then configure a hidden service (aka onion
service):
https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-onion-service.html.en
The short version:
apt get install tor
configure the service in /etc/tor/torrc, which looks like this (could be added
to the end of the config file):
HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/ftn_v2
HiddenServiceVersion 2
HiddenServicePort 24554 127.0.0.1:24554
HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/ftn_v3
HiddenServiceVersion 3
HiddenServicePort 24554 127.0.0.1:24554
Version 2 are the short addresses, version 3 the long addresses (which is the
default in recent versions). Short is better for the nodelist, long has even
better security, anonymity, ... (if that matters). You can have both or you can
only use one of the two.
Restart tor. You should find the generated address in
/var/lib/tor/hidden_service/ftn_v3/hostname (or whatever pathname you have
configured).
Then we should be able to connect to your system over Tor.
Additional options:
You can use multiple ports with one onion address like:
HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/ftn_v3
HiddenServicePort 24554 127.0.0.1:24554
HiddenServicePort 2323 192.168.0.21:2323
You can also use a seperate onion addresses for every service:
HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/bink1
HiddenServicePort 24554 127.0.0.1:24554
HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/bink2
HiddenServicePort 24554 127.0.0.1:24555
HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/bink3
HiddenServicePort 24554 127.0.0.1:24556
