I have a question about installing Tor on Linux. I'm looking at these instructions:
http://www.cravecoin.info/master-node-guide/The step where you're configuring Tor... It says
#Make directory that is readable/writeable by the user that will be running Tor.
Code:
mkdir /home/username/hidden_service/
DOES THE ABOVE STEP MEAN YOU CREATE A DIRECTORY CALLED "HIDDEN_SERVICE"? OR DOES IT MEAN YOU NAME THE DIRECTORY WHAT YOU WANT?
#Configure torrc, usually found in /etc/tor
Code:
nano /etc/tor/torrc
#add the following & save:
HiddenServiceDir /home/username/hidden_service/
HiddenServicePort 9999 127.0.0.1:9999
AGAIN IN THE ABOVE STEP, ADD "HIDDEN_SERVICE", OR THE NAME OF THE DIRECTORY THAT YOU CALLED IT?
#Restart Tor
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/tor stop
sudo /etc/init.d/tor start
#Make note of created *hiddenservicename*.onion in:
Code:
/var/lib/tor/YOURHIDDENSERVICENAME/hostname
WHEN IT SAYS MAKE NOTE, DOES IT CREATE A .ONION NAME FOR YOU IN THAT HOSTNAME FILE, AND YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO MAKE NOTE OF THAT, OR DOES IT WANT YOU TO TYPE INTO THAT HOSTNAME FILE WHAT YOU CALLED THE "HIDDEN_SERVICE".ONION AND SAVE IT?
