Title: How to connect multiple alternative crypto currency clients to TOR network?
Post by: gigabytecoin on April 09, 2013, 07:52:48 PM
Can multiple crypto currency clients connect to port 9050 safely? Or should I make a unique SocksPort entry for each client in my torrc file as mentioned here: https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en (https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en)

Definition of "SocksPort" as mentioned on torproject.org:

Quote
SocksPort PORT|auto
    Advertise this port to listen for connections from Socks-speaking applications. Set this to 0 if you don’t want to allow application connections via SOCKS. Set it to "auto" to have Tor pick a port for you. (Default: 9050)
