Title: Darkcoin Tor Relay: darkcoinie7ghp67.onion
Post by: elan on March 01, 2015, 10:31:11 PM
I'm operating a darkcoin tor relay, in case anyone needs an addnode.

An example how to start the client if the Tor proxy is running on local host on port 9050 and only allows .onion nodes to connect:
Code:
darkcoin-qt -onion=127.0.0.1:9050 -onlynet=tor -listen=0 -addnode=darkcoinie7ghp67.onion

Thanks cyrus for sponsoring the node!

TOR SUPPORT IN DARKCOIN
=======================

It is possible to run Darkcoin as a Tor hidden service, and connect to such services.

The following directions assume you have a Tor proxy running on port 9050. Many
distributions default to having a SOCKS proxy listening on port 9050, but others
may not. In particular, the Tor Browser Bundle defaults to listening on a random
port. See [Tor Project FAQ:TBBSocksPort](https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#TBBSocksPort)
for how to properly configure Tor.


1. Run darkcoin behind a Tor proxy
----------------------------------

The first step is running Darkcoin behind a Tor proxy. This will already make all
outgoing connections be anonymized, but more is possible.

-socks=5        SOCKS5 supports connecting-to-hostname, which can be used instead
                of doing a (leaking) local DNS lookup. SOCKS5 is the default,
                but SOCKS4 does not support this. (SOCKS4a does, but isn't
                implemented).

-proxy=ip:port  Set the proxy server. If SOCKS5 is selected (default), this proxy
                server will be used to try to reach .onion addresses as well.

-onion=ip:port  Set the proxy server to use for tor hidden services. You do not
                need to set this if it's the same as -proxy. You can use -noonion
                to explicitly disable access to hidden service.

-listen         When using -proxy, listening is disabled by default. If you want
                to run a hidden service (see next section), you'll need to enable
                it explicitly.

-connect=X      When behind a Tor proxy, you can specify .onion addresses instead
-addnode=X      of IP addresses or hostnames in these parameters. It requires
-seednode=X     SOCKS5. In Tor mode, such addresses can also be exchanged with
                other P2P nodes.

-onlynet=tor    Only connect to .onion nodes and drop IPv4/6 connections.

An example how to start the client if the Tor proxy is running on local host on
port 9050 and only allows .onion nodes to connect:

./darkcoind -onion=127.0.0.1:9050 -onlynet=tor -listen=0 -addnode=ssapp53tmftyjmjb.onion

In a typical situation, this suffices to run behind a Tor proxy:

./darkcoind -proxy=127.0.0.1:9050


2. Run a darkcoin hidden server
-------------------------------

If you configure your Tor system accordingly, it is possible to make your node also
reachable from the Tor network. Add these lines to your /etc/tor/torrc (or equivalent
config file):

HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/darkcoin-service/
HiddenServicePort 9999 127.0.0.1:9999
HiddenServicePort 19999 127.0.0.1:19999

The directory can be different of course, but (both) port numbers should be equal to
your darkcoind's P2P listen port (9999 by default).

-externalip=X   You can tell darkcoin about its publicly reachable address using
                this option, and this can be a .onion address. Given the above
                configuration, you can find your onion address in
                /var/lib/tor/darkcoin-service/hostname. Onion addresses are given
                preference for your node to advertize itself with, for connections
                coming from unroutable addresses (such as 127.0.0.1, where the
                Tor proxy typically runs).

-listen         You'll need to enable listening for incoming connections, as this
                is off by default behind a proxy.

-discover       When -externalip is specified, no attempt is made to discover local
                IPv4 or IPv6 addresses. If you want to run a dual stack, reachable
                from both Tor and IPv4 (or IPv6), you'll need to either pass your
                other addresses using -externalip, or explicitly enable -discover.
                Note that both addresses of a dual-stack system may be easily
                linkable using traffic analysis.

In a typical situation, where you're only reachable via Tor, this should suffice:

./darkcoind -proxy=127.0.0.1:9050 -externalip=ssapp53tmftyjmjb.onion -listen

(obviously, replace the Onion address with your own). If you don't care too much
about hiding your node, and want to be reachable on IPv4 as well, additionally
specify:

./darkcoind ... -discover

and open port 9999 on your firewall (or use -upnp).

If you only want to use Tor to reach onion addresses, but not use it as a proxy
for normal IPv4/IPv6 communication, use:

./darkcoind -onion=127.0.0.1:9050 -externalip=ssapp53tmftyjmjb.onion -discover
