TOR SUPPORT IN NEODASH
|
||||
=======================
|
||||
|
||||
It is possible to run Neodash 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 neodash behind a Tor proxy
|
||||
----------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The first step is running Neodash behind a Tor proxy. This will already make all
|
||||
outgoing connections be anonymized, but more is possible.
|
||||
|
||||
-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:
|
||||
|
||||
./neodashd -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:
|
||||
|
||||
./neodashd -proxy=127.0.0.1:9050
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2. Run a neodash 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/neodash-service/
|
||||
HiddenServicePort 7135 127.0.0.1:7135
|
||||
HiddenServicePort 17135 127.0.0.1:17135
|
||||
|
||||
The directory can be different of course, but (both) port numbers should be equal to
|
||||
your neodashd's P2P listen port (7135 by default).
|
||||
|
||||
-externalip=X You can tell neodash 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/neodash-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:
|
||||
|
||||
./neodashd -proxy=127.0.0.1:9050 -externalip=ssapp53tmftyjmjb.onion -listen
|
||||
|
||||
(obviously, replace the Onion address with your own). It should be noted that you still
|
||||
listen on all devices and another node could establish a clearnet connection, when knowing
|
||||
your address. To mitigate this, additionally bind the address of your Tor proxy:
|
||||
|
||||
./neodashd ... -bind=127.0.0.1
|
||||
|
||||
If you don't care too much about hiding your node, and want to be reachable on IPv4
|
||||
as well, use `discover` instead:
|
||||
|
||||
./neodashd ... -discover
|
||||
|
||||
and open port 7135 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:
|
||||
|
||||
./neodashd -onion=127.0.0.1:9050 -externalip=ssapp53tmftyjmjb.onion -discover
|
||||
|
||||

||||

4. Automatically listen on Tor
|
||||
--------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Starting with Tor version 0.2.7.1 it is possible, through Tor's control socket
|
||||
API, to create and destroy 'ephemeral' hidden services programmatically.
|
||||
Neodash Core has been updated to make use of this.
|
||||
|
||||
This means that if Tor is running (and proper authorization is available),
|
||||
Neodash Core automatically creates a hidden service to listen on, without
|
||||
manual configuration. This will positively affect the number of available
|
||||
.onion nodes.
|
||||
|
||||
This new feature is enabled by default if Neodash Core is listening, and
|
||||
a connection to Tor can be made. It can be configured with the `-listenonion`,
|
||||
`-torcontrol` and `-torpassword` settings. To show verbose debugging
|
||||
information, pass `-debug=tor`.
