The most important is to forward all connections to the Tor (9050). You may disable editing filtes and rules, too. Privoxy filter should be switched off, since it just acts as proxy between YaCy and tor. Make sure only localhost is allowed to connect and privoxy listens to port 8118. Probably the best is to not log anything at all: You only need startup and error messages. Check or edit the following settings.ĭon't log every requested page. The following how-to assumes you will use Privoxy for Tor only.Įdit privoxy's configuration file (e.g. # RunAsDaemon 1 # has to be set depending on os Here is the configuration as a whole (depends on your OS, this is for Linux) This will limit damage in case of misconfiguration by reducing traffic and restricting connections Who wants to feel really safe can optionally set The configuration may vary for different operating systems.) (Apparently Log notice has to be set, otherwise Tor won't start properly. Only writes minimal information to syslog. Make sure to disable logging, otherwise sensitive informations will be logged. ORPort, ORListenAddress, DirPort or DirListenAddress only need to be set if you run Tor as a server.ĬontrolPort only needs to be set if you run a control application. If you connect to Tor from the same system only, prevent other IPs from connecting by binding Tor to localhost:Īdditionally you should restrict access on the Socksport: etc/tor/torrc) to increase system-security.įirst of all look for "SocksPort", which defaults to 9050: Nevertheless you should edit your Tor configuration file (e.g. The Tor package comes fully configured to run out of box as a client.
Its sufficient to run Tor as a client, though we are going to install a hidden service later on. The installation depends on your operating system. Should you have questions or need help, go to the English YaCy forum Part 1 - Configuring Tor and Privoxy There also is a another YaCy network to index both Tor hidden-services and normal Web sites. No normal Internet sites should be indexed for that purpose. 9.1 Documentation for newbies in the Tor worldĪn independent YaCy network to index Tor hidden services is to be build.3.2.2 Modifying the configuration files.3 Part 2 - Configuring a hidden-service and YaCy.
