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.
37) <A NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>
38) <H2>OPTIONS</H2>
39) 
40) <B>-h, -help</B>
41) Display a short help message and exit.
42) <DL COMPACT>
43) <DT><B>-f </B><I>FILE</I><DD>
44) FILE contains further &quot;option value&quot; pairs. (Default: @CONFDIR@/torrc)
45) <DT>Other options can be specified either on the command-line (<I>--option<DD>
46) value</I>), or in the configuration file (<I>option value</I>).
47) Options are case-insensitive.
48) <DT><B>Log </B><I>minSeverity</I>[-<I>maxSeverity</I>] <B>stderr</B>|<B>stdout</B>|<B>syslog</B><DD>
49) Send all messages between <I>minSeverity</I> and <I>maxSeverity</I> to
50) the standard output stream, the standard error stream, or to the system
51) log. (The &quot;syslog&quot; value is only supported on Unix.)  Recognized
52) severity levels are debug, info, notice, warn, and err.  If only one
53) severity level is given, all messages of that level or higher will be
54) sent to the listed destination.
55) <DT><B>Log </B><I>minSeverity</I>[-<I>maxSeverity</I>] <B>file</B> <I>FILENAME</I><DD>
56) As above, but send log messages to the listed filename.  The &quot;Log&quot;
57) option may appear more than once in a configuration file.  Messages
58) are sent to all the logs that match their severity level.

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

71) Store working data in DIR (Default: @LOCALSTATEDIR@/lib/tor)
72) <DT><B>DirServer </B><I>address:port fingerprint</I><DD>
73) Use a nonstandard authoritative directory server at the provided
74) address and port, with the specified key fingerprint.  This option can
75) be repeated many times, for multiple authoritative directory
76) servers. If no <B>dirserver</B> line is given, Tor will use the default
77) directory servers: moria1, moria2, and tor26.
78) <DT><B>Group </B><I>GID</I><DD>
79) On startup, setgid to this user.
80) <DT><B>HttpProxy</B> <I>host</I>[:<I>port</I>]<DD>
81) If set, Tor will make all its directory requests through this host:port,
82) rather than connecting directly to any directory servers.
83) <DT><B>HttpsProxy</B> <I>host</I>[:<I>port</I>]<DD>
84) If set, Tor will make all its OR (SSL) connections through this host:port,
85) via HTTP CONNECT, rather than connecting directly to servers.

86) <DT><B>HttpsProxyAuthenticator</B> <I>username:password</I><DD>
87) If defined, Tor will use this username:password for Basic Https proxy
88) authentication, as in RFC 2617. This is currently the only form of
89) Https proxy authentication that Tor supports; feel free to submit a
90) patch if you want it to support others. You may want to set FascistFirewall
91) to restrict the set of ports you might try to connect to, if your Https
92) proxy only allows connecting to certain ports.

93) <DT><B>KeepalivePeriod </B><I>NUM</I><DD>
94) To keep firewalls from expiring connections, send a padding keepalive
95) cell on open connections every NUM seconds. (Default: 5 minutes.)
96) <DT><B>MaxConn </B><I>NUM</I><DD>
97) Maximum number of simultaneous sockets allowed.  You probably don't need
98) to adjust this. (Default: 1024)
99) <DT><B>OutboundBindAddress </B><I>IP</I><DD>
100) Make all outbound connections originate from the IP address specified.  This
101) is only useful when you have multiple network interfaces, and you want all
102) of Tor's outgoing connections to use a single one.
103) <DT><B>PIDFile </B><I>FILE</I><DD>
104) On startup, write our PID to FILE. On clean shutdown, remove FILE.
105) <DT><B>RunAsDaemon </B><B>0</B>|<B>1</B><DD>
106) If 1, Tor forks and daemonizes to the background. (Default: 0)
107) <DT><B>User </B><I>UID</I><DD>
108) On startup, setuid to this user.
109) <DT><B>ControlPort </B><I>Port</I><DD>
110) If set, Tor will accept connections from the same machine (localhost only) on
111) this port, and allow those connections to control the Tor process using the
112) Tor Control Protocol (described in control-spec.txt).  Note: unless you also
113) specify one of <B>HashedControlPassword</B> or <B>CookieAuthentication</B>,
114) setting this option will cause Tor to allow any process on the local host to
115) control it.
116) <DT><B>HashedControlPassword </B><I>hashed_password</I><DD>
117) Don't allow any connections on the control port except when the other process
118) knows the password whose one-way hash is <I>hashed_password</I>.  You can
119) compute the hash of a password by running &quot;tor --hash-password
120) <I>password</I>&quot;.
121) <DT><B>CookieAuthentication </B><B>0</B>|<B>1</B><DD>
122) If this option is set to 1, don't allow any connections on the control port
123) except when the connecting process knows the contents of a file named
124) &quot;control_auth_cookie&quot;, which Tor will create in its data directory.  This
125) authentication methods should only be used on systems with good filesystem
126) security.

171) If 1, Tor will only create outgoing connections to ORs running on ports that
172) your firewall allows (defaults to 80 and 443; see <B>FirewallPorts</B>).  This will
173) allow you to run Tor as a client behind a firewall with restrictive policies,

For example, if you always want connections to <A HREF="http://www.indymedia.org">www.indymedia.org</A> to exit via <I>torserver</I> (where <I>torserver</I> is the nickname of the server), use &quot;MapAddress <A HREF="http://www.indymedia.org">www.indymedia.org</A> <A HREF="http://www.indymedia.org.torserver.exit">www.indymedia.org.torserver.exit</A>&quot;.

215) For each value in the comma separated list, Tor will track recent connections
216) to hosts that match this value and attempt to
217) reuse the same exit node for each. If the value is prepended with a '.', it is
218) treated as matching an entire domain. If one of the values is just a '.', it
219) means match everything. This option is useful if you frequently connect to
220) sites that will expire all your authentication cookies (ie log you out) if
221) your IP address changes. Note that this option does have the disadvantage of
222) making it more clear that a given history is
223) associated with a single user. However, most people who would wish to observe
224) this will observe it through cookies or other protocol-specific means anyhow.
225) <DT><B>TrackHostExitsExpire </B><I>NUM</I><DD>
226) Since exit servers go up and down, it is desirable to expire the association
227) between host and exit server after NUM seconds of inactivity. The default

237) <DL COMPACT>
238) <DT><B>Address </B><I>address</I><DD>
239) The IP or fqdn of this server (e.g. moria.mit.edu). You can leave this

242) Administrative contact information for server.
243) <DT><B>ExitPolicy </B><I>policy</I>,<I>policy</I>,<I>...</I><DD>
244) Set an exit policy for this server. Each policy is of the form
245) &quot;<B>accept</B>|<B>reject</B> <I>ADDR</I>[<B>/</B><I>MASK</I>]<B>:</B><I>PORT</I>&quot;.
246) If <B>/</B><I>MASK</I> is omitted then this policy just applies to the host
247) given.  Instead of giving a host or network you can also use &quot;<B>*</B>&quot; to
248) denote the universe (0.0.0.0/0).  <I>PORT</I> can be a single port number,
249) an interval of ports &quot;<I>FROM_PORT</I><B>-</B><I>TO_PORT</I>&quot;, or &quot;<B>*</B>&quot;.
250) <P>
251) For example, &quot;reject 127.0.0.1:*,reject 192.168.1.0/24:*,accept *:*&quot; would
252) reject any traffic destined for localhost and any 192.168.1.* address, but
253) accept anything else.
254) <P>
255) This directive can be specified multiple times so you don't have to put
256) it all on one line.
257) <P>
258) See RFC 3330 for more details about internal and reserved IP address
259) space. Policies are considered first to last, and the first match wins. If
260) you want to _replace_ the default exit policy, end your exit policy with
261) either a reject *:* or an accept *:*. Otherwise, you're _augmenting_
262) (prepending to) the default exit policy. The default exit policy is:

327) For example, with AccountingMax set to 1 GB, a server could send 900 MB
328) and receive 800 MB and continue running. It will only hibernate once one
329) of the two reaches 1 GB.

330) When the number of bytes is exhausted, Tor will hibernate until some
331) time in the next accounting period.  To prevent all servers from
332) waking at the same time, Tor will also wait until a random point in
333) each period before waking up.  If you have bandwidth cost issues,

335) provides users with a collection of fast servers that are up some of
336) the time, which is more useful than a set of slow servers that are
337) always &quot;available&quot;.
338) <DT><B>AccountingStart </B><B>day</B>|<B>week</B>|<B>month</B> [<I>day</I>] <I>HH:MM</I><DD>
339) Specify how long accounting periods last.  If <B>month</B> is given,
340) each accounting period runs from the time <I>HH:MM</I> on the
341) <I>day</I>th day of one month to the same day and time of the next.
342) (The day must be between 1 and 28.)  If <B>week</B> is given, each
343) accounting period runs from the time <I>HH:MM</I> of the <I>day</I>th
344) day of one week to the same day and time of the next week, with Monday
345) as day 1 and Sunday as day 7.  If <B>day</B> is given, each accounting
346) period runs from the time <I>HH:MM</I> each day to the same time on the
347) next day.  All times are local, and given in 24-hour time.  (Defaults to

352) <H2>DIRECTORY SERVER OPTIONS</H2>
353) 
354) <P>
355) 
356) The following options are useful only for directory servers (that is, if <B>DirPort</B> is non-zero):
357) <DL COMPACT>
358) <DT><B>AuthoritativeDirectory </B><B>0</B>|<B>1</B><DD>
359) When this option is set to 1, Tor operates as an authoritative
360) directory server.  Instead of caching the directory, it generates its
361) own list of good servers, signs it, and sends that to the clients.
362) Unless the clients already have you listed as a trusted directory, you
363) probably do not want to set this option.  Please coordinate with the other
364) admins at <A HREF="mailto:tor-ops@freehaven.net">tor-ops@freehaven.net</A> if you think you should be a directory.

370) <DT><B>DirPolicy </B><I>policy</I>,<I>policy</I>,<I>...</I><DD>
371) Set an entrance policy for this server, to limit who can connect to the directory ports. The policies have the same form as exit policies above.
372) <DT><B>RecommendedVersions </B><I>STRING</I><DD>
373) STRING is a command-separated list of Tor versions currently believed
374) to be safe. The list is included in each directory, and nodes which
375) pull down the directory learn whether they need to upgrade.  This
376) option can appear multiple times: the values from multiple lines are
377) spliced together.
378) <DT><B>DirAllowPrivateAddresses </B><B>0</B>|<B>1</B><DD>
379) If set to 1, Tor will accept router descriptors with arbitrary &quot;Address&quot;
380) elements. Otherwise, if the address is not an IP or is a private IP,
381) it will reject the router descriptor. Defaults to 0.
382) <DT><B>RunTesting </B><B>0</B>|<B>1</B><DD>
383) If set to 1, Tor tries to build circuits through all of the servers it
384) knows about, so it can tell which are up and which are down.  This
385) option is only useful for authoritative directories, so you probably
386) don't want to use it.

393) 
394) The following options are used to configure a hidden service.
395) <DL COMPACT>
396) <DT><B>HiddenServiceDir </B><I>DIRECTORY</I><DD>
397) Store data files for a hidden service in DIRECTORY.  Every hidden
398) service must have a separate directory.  You may use this option multiple
399) times to specify multiple services.
400) <DT><B>HiddenServicePort </B><I>VIRTPORT </I>[<I>TARGET</I>]<DD>
401) Configure a virtual port VIRTPORT for a hidden service.  You may use this
402) option multiple times; each time applies to the service using the most recent
403) hiddenservicedir.  By default, this option maps the virtual port to the
404) same port on 127.0.0.1.  You may override the target port, address, or both
405) by specifying a target of addr, port, or addr:port.
406) <DT><B>HiddenServiceNodes </B><I>nickname</I>,<I>nickname</I>,<I>...</I><DD>
407) If possible, use the specified nodes as introduction points for the hidden
408) service. If this is left unset, Tor will be smart and pick some reasonable
409) ones; most people can leave this unset.
410) <DT><B>HiddenServiceExcludeNodes </B><I>nickname</I>,<I>nickname</I>,<I>...</I><DD>
411) Do not use the specified nodes as introduction points for the hidden
412) service. In normal use there is no reason to set this.

423) <DT><B>SIGTERM</B><DD>
424) Tor will catch this, clean up and sync to disk if necessary, and exit.
425) <DT><B>SIGINT</B><DD>
426) Tor clients behave as with SIGTERM; but Tor servers will do a controlled
427) slow shutdown, closing listeners and waiting 30 seconds before exiting.

430) The signal instructs Tor to reload its configuration (including closing
431) and reopening logs), fetch a new directory, and kill and restart its
432) helper processes if applicable.

434) Log statistics about current connections, past connections, and
435) throughput.

437) Switch all logs to loglevel debug. You can go back to the old loglevels
438) by sending a SIGHUP.
439) <DT><B>SIGCHLD</B><DD>
440) Tor receives this signal when one of its helper processes has exited,
441) so it can clean up.
442) <DT><B>SIGPIPE</B><DD>
443) Tor catches this signal and ignores it.
444) <DT><B>SIGXFSZ</B><DD>
445) If this signal exists on your platform, Tor catches and ignores it.
