# TOR

# Browse TOR via Commandline

```bash
apt-get install torsocks
```

if you haven't already enabled TOR, enable it via

```bash
systemctl enable --now tor
```

# Surf in commandline via Torsocks

In my experience the only commandline browser that works together with torsocks is w3m. First install w3m:

```bash
apt-get install w3m
```

then you can start surfing via:

```bash
torsocks w3m address.onion
```

# Create a hidden Service

## Install Tor
To enable all package managers using the libapt-pkg library to access metadata and packages available in sources accessible over https (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure).
```
apt install apt-transport-https
```

Create a new file in `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/` named `tor.list`. Add the following entries:

```
deb     [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/deb.torproject.org-keyring.gpg] https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org trixie main
deb-src [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/deb.torproject.org-keyring.gpg] https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org trixie main
```
Install GnuPG if not already installed:
```
apt install gnupg
```

Then add the gpg key used to sign the packages by running the following command at your command prompt:

```
wget -qO- https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org/A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89.asc | gpg --dearmor | tee /usr/share/keyrings/deb.torproject.org-keyring.gpg >/dev/null
```
Install tor and tor debian keyring
```
apt update
apt install tor deb.torproject.org-keyring
```

## Configure Tor

Next, you need to configure Tor to host your hidden service. Open the Tor configuration file:

```
vim /etc/tor/torrc
```

Add the following lines at the end of the file:

```
HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/
HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:80
```
## Restart Tor

After making the changes, restart the Tor service to apply the configuration.
```
systemctl restart tor
```

## Find Your Onion Address
The Tor service generates the onion address for your hidden service. To find it, check the hostname file.

```
cat /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/hostname
```
This command will output an onion address that you can use to access your site via the Tor network.

## Install and Configure Nginx

If you haven't installed Nginx yet, you can do so with the following command:

```
apt install nginx
```
After installation, you need to configure Nginx to serve your website. Create a new configuration file for your onion service:

```
vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/onion
```
Add the following configuration:

```
server {
    listen 80;
    server_name your_onion_address.onion;

    location / {
        root /var/www/html;  # Change this to your website directory
        index index.html index.htm;
    }
}
```

## Enable the Nginx Configuration

Link the new configuration file to enable it:

```
ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/onion /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
```

## Edit the Nginx Configuration
Open your main Nginx configuration file:
```
vim /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
```

## Increase the Bucket Size
Add or modify the `server_names_hash_bucket_size` directive within the http block. You could set it to a larger value, like 128 or 256:

```
http {
    ...
    server_names_hash_bucket_size 128;
    ...
}

```

## Test Nginx Configuration

Check for any syntax errors in the Nginx configuration:

```
nginx -t
```
## Restart Nginx
If the configuration test is successful, restart Nginx:
```
systemctl restart nginx
```

## Place Your Website Files

Place your HTML files in the designated directory (e.g., `/var/www/html`). You can create a simple `index.html` file to test:

```
echo "<h1>Welcome to My Onion Site!</h1>" | sudo tee /var/www/html/index.html
```
