+Tor installs a text file called torrc that contains configuration |
|
| 761 |
+instructions for how your Tor program should behave. The default |
|
| 762 |
+configuration should work fine for most Tor users. Users of Vidalia can |
|
| 763 |
+make common changes through the Vidalia interface — only advanced |
|
| 764 |
+users should need to modify their torrc file directly. |
|
| 765 |
+</p> |
|
| 766 |
+ |
|
| 767 |
+<p> |
|
| 768 |
+The location of your torrc file depends on the way you installed Tor: |
|
| 769 |
+</p> |
|
| 770 |
+ |
|
| 771 |
+<ul> |
|
| 772 |
+<li>On Windows, if you installed a Tor bundle with Vidalia, you can |
|
| 773 |
+find your torrc file in the Start menu under Programs -> Vidalia |
|
| 774 |
+Bundle -> Tor, or you can find it by hand in <code>\Documents and |
|
| 775 |
+Settings\<i>username</i>\Application Data\Vidalia\torrc</code>. If you |
|
| 776 |
+installed Tor without Vidalia, you can find your torrc in the Start |
|
| 777 |
+menu under Programs -> Tor, or manually in either <code>\Documents |
|
| 778 |
+and Settings\Application Data\tor\torrc</code> or <code>\Documents and |
|
| 779 |
+Settings\<i>username</i>\Application Data\tor\torrc</code>. |
|
| 780 |
+</li> |
|
| 781 |
+<li>On OS X, if you use Vidalia, edit |
|
| 782 |
+<code>~/.vidalia/torrc</code>. Otherwise, open your favorite text editor |
|
| 783 |
+and load <code>/Library/Tor/torrc</code>. |
|
| 784 |
+</li> |
|
| 785 |
+<li>On Unix, if you installed a pre-built package, look for |
|
| 786 |
+<code>/etc/tor/torrc</code> or <code>/etc/torrc</code> or consult your |
|
| 787 |
+package's documentation. |
|
| 788 |
+</li> |
|
| 789 |
+<li>Finally, if you installed from source, you may not have a torrc |
|
| 790 |
+installed yet: look in <code>/usr/local/etc/</code> and note that you |
|
| 791 |
+may need to manually copy <code>torrc.sample</code> to <code>torrc</code>. |
|
| 792 |
+</li> |
|
| 793 |
+</ul> |
|
| 794 |
+ |
|
| 795 |
+<p> |
|
| 796 |
+If you use Vidalia, be sure to exit both Tor and Vidalia before you edit |
|
| 797 |
+your torrc file. Otherwise Vidalia might overwrite your changes. |
|
| 798 |
+</p> |
|
| 799 |
+ |
|
| 800 |
+<p> |
|
| 801 |
+Once you've changed your torrc, you will need to restart Tor for the |
|
| 802 |
+changes to take effect. (For advanced users on OS X and Unix, note that |
|
| 803 |
+you actually only need to send Tor a HUP signal, not actually restart it.) |
|
| 804 |
+</p> |
|
| 805 |
+ |
|
| 806 |
+<p> |
|
| 807 |
+For other configuration options you can use, look at the <a href="<page |
|
| 808 |
+docs/tor-manual>">Tor manual page</a>. Remember, all lines beginning |
|
| 809 |
+with # in torrc are treated as comments and have no effect on Tor's |
|
| 810 |
+configuration. |
