If you allow exit connections, some services that people connect to from your relay will connect back to collect more information about you. For example, some IRC servers connect back to your identd port to record which user made the connection. Also, users exiting from you might attract the attention of other users on the IRC server, website, etc. Another reason is that groups who scan for open proxies on the Internet have learned that sometimes Tor relays expose their socks port to the world.
We recommend that you bind your socksport to local networks only. In any case, you need to keep up to date with your security. See this article on operational security for Tor relays for more suggestions. See this tor-relays thread. All outgoing connections must be allowed, so that each relay can communicate with every other relay. In many jurisdictions, Tor relay operators are legally protected by the same common carrier regulations that prevent internet service providers from being held liable for third-party content that passes through their network.
Exit relays that filter some traffic would likely forfeit those protections. Tor promotes free network access without interference. Exit relays must not filter the traffic that passes through them to the internet. Exit relays found to be filtering traffic will get the BadExit flag once detected. Otherwise, you could drop many packets during periods of maximum bandwidth usage -- you may need to experiment with which values make your connection comfortable.
Then set BandwidthBurst to the same as BandwidthRate. Linux-based Tor nodes have another option at their disposal: they can prioritize Tor traffic below other traffic on their machine, so that their own personal traffic is not impacted by Tor load.
Additionally, there are hibernation options where you can tell Tor to only serve a certain amount of bandwidth per time period such as GB per month. These are covered in the hibernation entry below. The accounting options in the torrc file allow you to specify the maximum amount of bytes your relay uses for a time period. This specifies when the accounting should reset.
For instance, to setup a total amount of bytes served for a week that resets every Wednesday at am , you would use:. This specifies the maximum amount of data your relay will send during an accounting period, and the maximum amount of data your relay will receive during an account period. When the accounting period resets from AccountingStart , then the counters for AccountingMax are reset to 0. It will keep track of how quickly it used its quota in the last period, and choose a random point in the new interval to wake up.
This way we avoid having hundreds of relays working at the beginning of each month but none still up by the end. Just divide your monthly amount by For example, if you have 50 GB to offer each way, you might set your RelayBandwidthRate to KBytes: this way your relay will always be useful for at least half of each day. But there are a few exceptions:.
If you open your DirPort, then Tor clients will ask you for a copy of the directory. This probably accounts for most of the difference between your "write" byte count and your "read" byte count. Another minor exception shows up when you operate as an exit node, and you read a few bytes from an exit connection for example, an instant messaging or ssh connection and wrap it up into an entire byte cell for transport through the Tor network. The parameters assigned in the AccountingMax and BandwidthRate apply to both client and relay functions of the Tor process.
Thus you may find that you are unable to browse as soon as your Tor goes into hibernation, signaled by this entry in the log:. The solution is to run two Tor processes - one relay and one client, each with its own config. One way to do this if you are starting from a working relay setup is as follows:. Each Tor relay has an exit policy that specifies what sort of outbound connections are allowed or refused from that relay. The exit policies are propagated to Tor clients via the directory, so clients will automatically avoid picking exit relays that would refuse to exit to their intended destination.
This way each relay can decide the services, hosts, and networks it wants to allow connections to, based on abuse potential and its own situation. The default exit policy allows access to many popular services e. This setting means that your relay will be used for relaying traffic inside the Tor network, but not for connections to external websites or other services.
If you do allow any exit connections, make sure name resolution works that is, your computer can resolve Internet addresses correctly. This tells Tor to avoid exiting through that relay. In effect, relays with this flag become non-exits.
Please reach out to the bad-relays team so we can sort out the issue. Several countries, including China and Iran, have found ways to detect and block connections to Tor bridges. So should you run a normal relay or bridge relay? If you have lots of bandwidth, you should definitely run a normal relay.
Thanks for volunteering! Note: As of Tor 0. Eventually they will replace the old RSA identities, but that will happen in time, to ensure compatibility with older versions. As of Tor 0. In simple words, it works like this:. If you want to use this feature, you can consult our more detailed guide on the topic. If you want to keep using the old key, see the Upgrading your Tor relay FAQ entry for how to restore the old identity key. A service called Tor Win32 Service will be installed and started.
This service will also automatically start every time Windows boots, unless you change the Start-up type. An easy way to check the status of Tor, start or stop the service, and change the start-up type is by running services. Optionally, you can specify additional options for the Tor service using the -options argument.
The uninstaller is currently not capable of removing the active service. Competent vserver admins are able to configure your server to not hit these limits. Look for "failcnt" in tcpsndbuf, tcprecvbuf, numothersock, and othersockbuf. Ask for these to be increased accordingly. Xen, Virtual Box and VMware virtual servers have no such limits normally.
If the vserver admin will not increase system limits another option is to reduce the memory allocated to the send and receive buffers on TCP connections Tor uses. An experimental feature to constrain socket buffers has recently been added. If your version of Tor supports it, set "ConstrainedSockets 1" in your configuration.
See the tor man page for additional details about this option. Unfortunately, since Tor currently requires you to be able to connect to all the other Tor relays, we need you to be able to use at least file descriptors. We hope to fix this in the future, once we know how to build a Tor network with restricted topologies -- that is, where each node connects to only a few other nodes. But this is still a long way off. If you do decide to run more than one relay, please set the "MyFamily" config option in the torrc of each relay, listing all the relays comma-separated that are under your control:.
That way clients will know to avoid using more than one of your relays in a single circuit. Tor guesses its IP address by asking the computer for its hostname, and then resolving that hostname. Also, if you have many addresses, you might also want to set "OutboundBindAddress" so external connections come from the IP you intend to present to the world. See portforward. If your relay is running on a internal net you need to setup port forwarding.
Forwarding TCP connections is system dependent but the firewalled-clients FAQ entry offers some examples on how to do this. You may have to change "eth0" if you have a different external interface the one connected to the Internet. All of this said, fast Tor relays do use a lot of ram. It is not unusual for a fast exit relay to use MB of memory.
The simplest example is an attacker who owns a small number of Tor relays. There are also some downsides to running a Tor relay. It is an open research question whether the benefits outweigh the risks. A lot of that depends on the attacks you are most worried about. Exonerator is a web service that can check if an IP address was a relay at a given time.
We recommend these non-profit charities that are happy to turn your donations into better speed and anonymity for the Tor network:. Note that there can be a tradeoff here between anonymity and performance. At the same time though, economies of scale for bandwidth mean that combining many small donations into several larger relays is more efficient at improving network performance.
Improving anonymity and improving performance are both worthwhile goals, so however you can help is great! Since the. Currently, the Tor directory server provides this look-up service; and thus the look-up request must get to the Tor network. Therefore, your application needs to pass the.
So, how do you make your application pass the hostname directly to Tor? This will allow you to use almost any program with Tor without leaking DNS lookups and allow those same programs to access onion services. Versions of Tor before 0. Starting with 0. The stuff in parenthesis is optional. Only one release is ever made with any given set of these version numbers. The TAG lets you know how stable we think the release is: "alpha" is pretty unstable; "rc" is a release candidate; and no tag at all means that we have a final release.
So for example, we might start a development branch with say 0. The patchlevel increments consistently as the status tag changes, for example, as in: 0. Eventually, we would release 0. The next stable release would be 0. Why do we do it like this? Because every release has a unique version number, it is easy for tools like package manager to tell which release is newer than another. The tag makes it easy for users to tell how stable the release is likely to be.
To set up your own Tor network, you need to run your own authoritative directory servers, and your clients and relays must be configured so they know about your directory servers rather than the default public ones. Apart from the somewhat tedious method of manually configuring a couple of directory authorities, relays and clients there are two separate tools that could help.
One is Chutney, the other is Shadow. Chutney is a tool for configuring, controlling and running tests on a testing Tor network. It requires that you have Tor and Python 2. You can use Chutney to create a testing network by generating Tor configuration files torrc and necessary keys for the directory authorities. Then you can let Chutney start your Tor authorities, relays and clients and wait for the network to bootstrap.
Finally, you can have Chutney run tests on your network to see which things work and which do not. Chutney is typically used for running a testing network with about 10 instances of Tor. Every instance of Tor binds to one or two ports on localhost Shadow is a network simulator that can run Tor through its Scallion plug-in. Shadow can be run on any linux machine without root, and can also run on EC2 using a pre-configured image. Also, Shadow controls the time of the simulation with the effect that time-consuming tests can be done more efficiently than in an ordinary testing network.
The Shadow wiki and Shadow website are good places to get started. A fully Java implementation of the Tor client is now available as Orchid. We still consider Orchid to be experimental, so use with care. One is multithreading: you have a separate micro-program inside the main program for each net connection that reads and writes to the connection as needed. This, performance-wise, sucks. And the newest ways are finally fast, but are not available on all platforms.
However, On the the Win32 platform by Microsoft the only good way to do fast IO on windows with hundreds of sockets is using overlapped IO, which is grossly unlike every other BSD sockets interface. Internet communication is based on a store-and-forward model that can be understood in analogy to postal mail: Data is transmitted in blocks called IP datagrams or packets. Every packet includes a source IP address of the sender and a destination IP address of the receiver , just as ordinary letters contain postal addresses of sender and receiver.
The way from sender to receiver involves multiple hops of routers, where each router inspects the destination IP address and forwards the packet closer to its destination. Thus, every router between sender and receiver learns that the sender is communicating with the receiver.
In particular, your local ISP is in the position to build a complete profile of your Internet usage. In addition, every server in the Internet that can see any of the packets can profile your behaviour. The aim of Tor is to improve your privacy by sending your traffic through a series of proxies. Your communication is encrypted in multiple layers and routed via multiple hops through the Tor network to the final receiver.
Note that all your local ISP can observe now is that you are communicating with Tor nodes. Similarly, servers in the Internet just see that they are being contacted by Tor nodes. First, Tor prevents websites and other services from learning your location, which they can use to build databases about your habits and interests. Because these relays are run by different individuals or organizations, distributing trust provides more security than the old one hop proxy approach.
Note, however, that there are situations where Tor fails to solve these privacy problems entirely: see the entry below on remaining attacks. Yes, the guy running the exit node can read the bytes that come in and out there. Tor anonymizes the origin of your traffic, and it makes sure to encrypt everything inside the Tor network, but it does not magically encrypt all traffic throughout the Internet. This is why you should always use end-to-end encryption such as SSL for sensitive Internet connections.
First, Tor protects the network communications. It separates where you are from where you are going on the Internet. What content and data you transmit over Tor is controlled by you. However, since you have logged into their sites, they know who you are. These binary applications run as your user account with your permissions in your operating system.
This means these applications can access anything that your user account can access. Some of these technologies, such as Java and Adobe Flash for instance, run in what is known as a virtual machine. This virtual machine may have the ability to ignore your configured proxy settings, and therefore bypass Tor and share information directly to other sites on the Internet.
The virtual machine may be able to store data, such as cookies, completely separate from your browser or operating system data stores. Therefore, these technologies must be disabled in your browser to use Tor safely. We produce a web browser that is preconfigured to help you control the risks to your privacy and anonymity while browsing the Internet.
Not only are the above technologies disabled to prevent identity leaks, Tor Browser also includes browser extensions like NoScript and Torbutton, as well as patches to the Firefox source code. The full design of Tor Browser can be read here. The Tails team has created an entire bootable operating system configured for anonymity and privacy on the Internet.
Tor is a work in progress. Further, the Tor client establishes an ephemeral encryption key with each relay in the circuit; these extra layers of encryption mean that only the exit relay can read the cells. Authentication : Every Tor relay has a public decryption key called the "onion key". Each relay rotates its onion key once a week. Coordination : How do clients know what the relays are, and how do they know that they have the right keys for them? Each relay has a long-term public signing key called the "identity key".
Each directory authority additionally has a "directory signing key". The directory authorities dir-spec. How do clients know what the directory authorities are? The Tor software comes with a built-in list of location and public key for each directory authority. So the only way to trick users into using a fake Tor network is to give them a specially modified version of the software.
Tor like all current practical low-latency anonymity designs fails when the attacker can see both ends of the communications channel. For example, suppose the attacker controls or watches the Tor relay you choose to enter the network, and also controls or watches the website you visit.
In this case, the research community knows no practical low-latency design that can reliably stop the attacker from correlating volume and timing information on the two sides. So, what should we do? Suppose the attacker controls, or can observe, C relays.
Suppose there are N relays total. But profiling is, for most users, as bad as being traced all the time: they want to do something often without an attacker noticing, and the attacker noticing once is as bad as the attacker noticing more often. Thus, choosing many random entries and exits gives the user no chance of escaping profiling by this kind of attacker. The solution is "entry guards": each Tor client selects a few relays at random to use as entry points, and uses only those relays for her first hop.
Restricting your entry nodes may also help against attackers who want to run a few Tor nodes and easily enumerate all of the Tor user IP addresses. Tor will reuse the same circuit for new TCP streams for 10 minutes, as long as the circuit is working fine. If the circuit fails, Tor will switch to a new circuit immediately. But note that a single TCP stream e. Otherwise an adversary with a partial view of the network would be given many chances over time to link you to your destination, rather than just one chance.
The actual content of these fixed size cells is documented in the main Tor spec , section 3. We have been considering one day adding two classes of cells -- maybe a 64 byte cell and a byte cell. This would allow less overhead for interactive streams while still allowing good throughput for bulk streams.
It holds open a handful of connections so there will be one available when you need one. An adversary with a great deal of manpower and money, and severe real-world penalties to discourage people from trying to evade detection, is a difficult test for an anonymity and anti-censorship system. After seeing these attacks and others first-hand, more effort was put into researching new circumvention techniques.
Pluggable transports are protocols designed to allow users behind government firewalls to access the Tor network. These attacks come from examining characteristics of the IP headers or TCP headers and looking for information leaks based on individual hardware signatures. One example is the Oakland paper that lets you learn if two packet streams originated from the same hardware, but only if you can see the original TCP timestamps.
Tor transports TCP streams, not IP packets, so we end up automatically scrubbing a lot of the potential information leaks. Do not use a VPN as an anonymity solution. VPNs encrypt the traffic between the user and the VPN provider, and they can act as a proxy between a user and an online destination.
A technically proficient attacker or a number of employees could retrieve the full identity information associated with a VPN user. Identities can be discovered by following a money trail using Bitcoin does not solve this problem because Bitcoin is not anonymous , or by persuading the VPN provider to hand over logs. When you use a VPN, websites can still build up a persistent profile of your usage over time.
When you use Tor the IP address you connect to changes at most every 10 minutes, and often more frequently than that. Proxychains is a program that sends your traffic through a series of open web proxies that you supply before sending it on to your final destination. Unlike Tor , proxychains does not encrypt the connections between each proxy server. An open proxy that wanted to monitor your connection could see all the other proxy servers you wanted to use between itself and your final destination, as well as the IP address that proxy hop received traffic from.
Because the Tor protocol requires encrypted relay-to-relay connections, not even a misbehaving relay can see the entire path of any Tor user. While Tor relays are run by volunteers and checked periodically for suspicious behavior, many open proxies that can be found with a search engine are compromised machines, misconfigured private proxies not intended for public use, or honeypots set up to exploit users. As mentioned above, it is possible for an observer who can view both you and either the destination website or your Tor exit node to correlate timings of your traffic as it enters the Tor network and also as it exits.
Tor does not defend against such a threat model. In a more limited sense, note that if a censor or law enforcement agency has the ability to obtain specific observation of parts of the network, it is possible for them to verify a suspicion that you talk regularly to your friend by observing traffic at both ends and correlating the timing of only that traffic.
Again, this is only useful to verify that parties already suspected of communicating with one another are doing so. In most countries, the suspicion required to obtain a warrant already carries more weight than timing correlation would provide. Furthermore, since Tor reuses circuits for multiple TCP connections, it is possible to associate non anonymous and anonymous traffic at a given exit node, so be careful about what applications you run concurrently over Tor. Perhaps even run separate Tor clients for these applications.
Read these papers especially the ones in boxes to get up to speed on anonymous communication systems. Requiring every Tor user to be a relay would help with scaling the network to handle all our users, and running a Tor relay may help your anonymity. Providing service to these clients is a critical part of providing effective anonymity for everyone, since many Tor users are subject to these or similar constraints and including these clients increases the size of the anonymity set. That said, we do want to encourage Tor users to run relays, so what we really want to do is simplify the process of setting up and maintaining a relay.
First, we need to make Tor stable as a relay on all common operating systems. See Section 4. Second, we still need to get better at automatically estimating the right amount of bandwidth to allow. Third, we need to work on scalability, both of the network how to stop requiring that all Tor relays be able to connect to all Tor relays and of the directory how to stop requiring that all Tor users know about all Tor relays.
Changes like this can have large impact on potential and actual anonymity. Again, UDP transport would help here. Three different research papers describe ways to identify the relays in a circuit by running traffic through candidate relays and looking for dips in the traffic while the circuit is active. These clogging attacks are not that scary in the Tor context so long as relays are never clients too. This would be handy, because it would make Tor better able to handle new protocols like VoIP, it could solve the whole need to socksify applications, and it would solve the fact that exit relays need to allocate a lot of file descriptors to hold open all the exit connections.
Some of the hard problems are:. Right now the path length is hard-coded at 3 plus the number of nodes in your path that are sensitive. Remember that the best way to attack Tor is to attack the endpoints and ignore the middle of the path. Currently there is no reason to suspect that investigating a single relay will yield user-destination pairs, but if many people are using only a single hop, we make it more likely that attackers will seize or break into relays in hopes of tracing users.
Now, there is a good argument for making the number of hops in a path unpredictable. Choosing path length from, say, a geometric distribution will turn this into a statistical attack, which seems to be an improvement.
On the other hand, a longer path length is bad for usability, and without further protections it seems likely that an adversary can estimate your path length anyway. Please write a research paper that tells us what to do. It is better to not manually change the path. There are many attacks and adversaries that Tor is trying to defend against at once, and constraining paths has surprising trickle-down effects on the other attacks e. Picking your entry and exit in different countries is not a good defence, because it only defends against adversaries that are unable to rent servers in other countries.
This approach is more well-understood in the context of high-latency systems. See e. This would be great for two reasons. Second, it is conceivable that we could get increased security against certain attacks by migrating streams periodically, since leaving a stream on a given circuit for many hours might make it more vulnerable to certain adversaries. There are two problems though. First, Tor would need a much more bulky protocol. Right now each end of the Tor circuit just sends the cells, and lets TCP provide the in-order guaranteed delivery.
If we can move streams across circuits, though, we would need to add queues at each end of the circuit, add sequence numbers so we can send and receive acknowledgements for cells, and so forth. These changes would increase the complexity of the Tor protocol considerably. Circuits are typically three hops long, so in about a third of the cases we just lose. But there are still some approaches we can take to improve the reliability of streams.
The main approach we have now is to specify that streams using certain application ports prefer circuits to be made up of stable nodes. These ports are specified in the "LongLivedPorts" torrc option, and they default to.
The definition of "stable" is an open research question, since we can only guess future stability based on past performance. Right now we judge that a node is stable if it advertises that it has been up for more than a day. Down the road we plan to refine this so it takes into account the average stability of the other nodes in the Tor network. You cannot trust the network to pick the path for relays could collude and route you through their colluding friends.
This would give an adversary the ability to watch all of your traffic end to end. The default exit policy blocks certain private net blocks, like Some overzealous firewall configs suggest that you also block all the parts of the Internet that IANA has not currently allocated. Second, why should we default-reject something that might one day be useful? It would be nice to let relay operators say things like "reject www. There are two problems, though. First, users could still get around these blocks.
For example, they could request the IP address rather than the hostname when they exit from the Tor network. This means operators would still need to learn all the IP addresses for the destinations in question. The second problem is that it would allow remote attackers to censor arbitrary sites. For example, if a Tor operator blocks www1. Tor only transports data, it does not inspect the contents of the connections which are sent over it.
Further, and more importantly, which definition of "certain content" could we use? Every choice would lead to a quagmire of conflicting personal morals. The only solution is to have no opinion. Like all anonymous communication networks that are fast enough for web browsing, Tor is vulnerable to statistical "traffic confirmation" attacks, where the adversary watches traffic at both ends of a circuit and confirms their guess that those endpoints are communicating. It would be really nice if we could use cover traffic to confuse this attack.
But there are three problems here:. We hope that one day somebody will prove us wrong, but we are not optimistic. We did however since implement netflow padding to collapse netflow records for improved security. This has the goal of stymying some of the potential traffic analysis attacks out there -- website fingerprinting, end-to-end correlation, and the things in between.
For details see the blog post by the Tor network team, the announcement on the tor-dev mailinglist or read further publications on padding. Many people suggest that we should use steganography to make it hard to notice Tor connections on the Internet. There are a few problems with this idea though:. First, in the current network topology, the Tor relays list is public and can be accessed by attackers.

You should let people choose their path length. You should change path selection to avoid entering and exiting from the same country. You should split each connection over many paths. You should migrate application streams across circuits. You should let the network pick the path, not the client.
Your default exit policy should block unallocated net blocks too. Exit policies should be able to block websites, not just IP addresses. You should change Tor to prevent users from posting certain content. You should use steganography to hide Tor traffic. General: What is Tor? The name "Tor" can refer to several different components. Make sure that the alert light is green before transmitting any potentially sensitive data. Furthermore, using Tor will make you safe from common non-criminal privacy invasions, such as browser fingerprinting.
Every time you do anything on the internet that requires you to provide information about yourself, you run the risk of it landing in the wrong hands. This is the portion of the internet that most people are fascinated with — and a bit afraid of — when they think about the hidden parts of the internet. The internet is basically divided into three parts, the clearnet where most people congregate , the deep web, and the dark web.
The deeper you get, the darker the waters. Browsing the seamy side of the internet can satisfy curiosity for those who like lurid details and urban myths, and it can be used for illegal activity. There are also a lot of legit services and interesting places available on the dark web, like the Hidden Wiki Note: can only be accessed by browsing through The Onion Network.
The Hidden Wiki is a directory of websites and services around the deep web. Some are useful, but many links lead to dark and dangerous places. Be forewarned that if you use the network to stalk or harass people, your IP could trigger an exit node block and get it — and you — kicked off the server.
Some companies offer security services for those who need to access this part of the internet or are concerned about personal or business information that might be leaked and appear on Dark Web sites. Specialized security companies can help with strategy and risk management or locate stolen information like credit card numbers, social security numbers, and intellectual property.
Common sense would tell you that the more security and privacy platforms you use, the safer you and your data will be. Is there a difference if you install one first, and which one? Then, you can decide how best to combine them. Both have advantages and disadvantages. The downside is that, while it masks your IP address upon entry, it exposes it when exiting a node. It will also mask your IP as you exit the final node. Installing The Onion Router on your computer or mobile device is really no more difficult than installing any other software or app.
Use it in conjunction with ChatSecure for truly private browsing and chatting on the go on Android and iOS-powered devices. There is a global option and an option to use it in VPN mode. As soon as you check your email or perform other routines tasks, your privacy may be compromised. The answer to stopping data leaks and breaches is to follow privacy protection best practices like constructing hard-to-crack passwords and other common-sense mechanisms.
In addition to the privacy offered by this browser, there are several other ways to protect you and your information online. For example, DuckDuckGo is an encrypted search engine that offers a private, secure alternative to Google. You can search the internet, including the deep web, without being tracked and profiled. This live Linux distribution platform that was popularized by Edward Snowden. This prevents any user of the dark or deep web from being traced to a specific computer or being caught in by the NSA search engine, XKeyscore.
If you run a commercial website, you should also make sure that you use the most current security protocols like secure socket layers SSL , transport layer security TLS , and military-grade bit AES encryption standards. Business owners and individuals should also sign up with a good virtual private network like NordVPN. This will ensure end-to-end encryption on all of your networks and connected devices.
