21) <H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
22) 
23) <I>tor</I>
24) 
25) is a connection-oriented anonymizing communication
26) service. Users choose a source-routed path through a set of nodes, and
27) negotiate a &quot;virtual circuit&quot; through the network, in which each node
28) knows its predecessor and successor, but no others. Traffic flowing down
29) the circuit is unwrapped by a symmetric key at each node, which reveals
30) the downstream node.
31) <P>
32) 
33) Basically <I>tor</I> provides a distributed network of servers (&quot;onion
34) routers&quot;). Users bounce their TCP streams -- web traffic, ftp, ssh, etc --
35) around the routers, and recipients, observers, and even the routers
36) themselves have difficulty tracking the source of the stream.

54) If set, we will not advertise more than this amount of bandwidth for our
55) BandwidthRate. Server operators who want to reduce the number of clients
56) who ask to build circuits through them (since this is proportional to
57) advertised bandwidth rate) can thus reduce the CPU demands on their
58) server without impacting network performance.

60) If set, Tor will accept connections from the same machine (localhost only) on
61) this port, and allow those connections to control the Tor process using the
62) Tor Control Protocol (described in control-spec.txt).  Note: unless you also
63) specify one of <B>HashedControlPassword</B> or <B>CookieAuthentication</B>,
64) setting this option will cause Tor to allow any process on the local host to
65) control it.

332) of addresses, connect to <I>target</I> (an <I>address:port</I> pair) instead.
333) The address
334) pattern is given in the same format as for an exit policy.  The
335) address translation applies after exit policies are applied.  Multiple
336) <B>RedirectExit</B> options can be used: once any one has matched

385) When this option is set to 1, Tor operates as an authoritative
386) directory server.  Instead of caching the directory, it generates its
387) own list of good servers, signs it, and sends that to the clients.
388) Unless the clients already have you listed as a trusted directory, you
389) probably do not want to set this option.  Please coordinate with the other

399) <DT><B>RecommendedVersions </B><I>STRING</I><DD>
400) STRING is a command-separated list of Tor versions currently believed
401) to be safe. The list is included in each directory, and nodes which
402) pull down the directory learn whether they need to upgrade.  This
403) option can appear multiple times: the values from multiple lines are
404) spliced together.
405) <DT><B>DirAllowPrivateAddresses </B><B>0</B>|<B>1</B><DD>
406) If set to 1, Tor will accept router descriptors with arbitrary &quot;Address&quot;
407) elements. Otherwise, if the address is not an IP or is a private IP,
408) it will reject the router descriptor. Defaults to 0.
409) <DT><B>RunTesting </B><B>0</B>|<B>1</B><DD>
410) If set to 1, Tor tries to build circuits through all of the servers it
411) knows about, so it can tell which are up and which are down.  This
412) option is only useful for authoritative directories, so you probably
413) don't want to use it.

421) The following options are used to configure a hidden service.
422) <DL COMPACT>
423) <DT><B>HiddenServiceDir </B><I>DIRECTORY</I><DD>
424) Store data files for a hidden service in DIRECTORY.  Every hidden
425) service must have a separate directory.  You may use this option multiple
426) times to specify multiple services.
427) <DT><B>HiddenServicePort </B><I>VIRTPORT </I>[<I>TARGET</I>]<DD>
428) Configure a virtual port VIRTPORT for a hidden service.  You may use this
429) option multiple times; each time applies to the service using the most recent
430) hiddenservicedir.  By default, this option maps the virtual port to the
431) same port on 127.0.0.1.  You may override the target port, address, or both
432) by specifying a target of addr, port, or addr:port.
433) <DT><B>HiddenServiceNodes </B><I>nickname</I>,<I>nickname</I>,<I>...</I><DD>
434) If possible, use the specified nodes as introduction points for the hidden
435) service. If this is left unset, Tor will be smart and pick some reasonable
436) ones; most people can leave this unset.
437) <DT><B>HiddenServiceExcludeNodes </B><I>nickname</I>,<I>nickname</I>,<I>...</I><DD>
438) Do not use the specified nodes as introduction points for the hidden
