  1. 'tor' is an implementation of The Onion Routing system, as
  2. described in a bit more detail at http://www.onion-router.net/. You
  3. can read list archives, and subscribe to the mailing list, at
  4. http://archives.seul.org/or/dev/.
  5. Is your question in the FAQ? Should it be?
  6. **************************************************************************
  7. See the INSTALL file for a quickstart. That is all you will probably need.
  8. **************************************************************************
  9. **************************************************************************
  10. You only need to look beyond this point if the quickstart in the INSTALL
  11. doesn't work for you.

  13. Do you want to run a tor server?
  14. See http://freehaven.net/tor/doc/tor-doc.html#server
  15. Do you want to run a hidden service?
  16. See http://freehaven.net/tor/doc/tor-doc.html#hidden-service
  17. Configuring tsocks:
  18. If you want to use Tor for protocols that can't use Privoxy, or
  19. with applications that are not socksified, then download tsocks
  20. (tsocks.sourceforge.net) and configure it to talk to localhost:9050
  21. as a socks4 server. My /etc/tsocks.conf simply has:
  22. server_port = 9050
  23. server = 127.0.0.1
  24. (I had to "cd /usr/lib; ln -s /lib/libtsocks.so" to get the tsocks
  25. library working after install, since my libpath didn't include /lib.)
  26. Then you can do "tsocks ssh arma@moria.mit.edu". But note that if
  27. ssh is suid root, you either need to do this as root, or cp a local
  28. version of ssh that isn't suid.
  29. (On Windows, you may want to look at the Hummingbird SOCKS client,
  30. or at SocksCap, instead.)
