1 ## Configuration file for a typical Tor user
2 ## Last updated 22 December 2017 for Tor 0.3.2.8-rc.
3 ## (may or may not work for much older or much newer versions of Tor.)
5 ## Lines that begin with "## " try to explain what's going on. Lines
6 ## that begin with just "#" are disabled commands: you can enable them
7 ## by removing the "#" symbol.
9 ## See 'man tor', or https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html,
10 ## for more options you can use in this file.
12 ## Tor will look for this file in various places based on your platform:
13 ## https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq#torrc
15 ## Tor opens a SOCKS proxy on port 9050 by default -- even if you don't
16 ## configure one below. Set "SOCKSPort 0" if you plan to run Tor only
17 ## as a relay, and not make any local application connections yourself.
18 #SOCKSPort 9050 # Default: Bind to localhost:9050 for local connections.
19 #SOCKSPort 192.168.0.1:9100 # Bind to this address:port too.
21 ## Entry policies to allow/deny SOCKS requests based on IP address.
22 ## First entry that matches wins. If no SOCKSPolicy is set, we accept
23 ## all (and only) requests that reach a SOCKSPort. Untrusted users who
24 ## can access your SOCKSPort may be able to learn about the connections
26 #SOCKSPolicy accept 192.168.0.0/16
27 #SOCKSPolicy accept6 FC00::/7
30 ## Logs go to stdout at level "notice" unless redirected by something
31 ## else, like one of the below lines. You can have as many Log lines as
34 ## We advise using "notice" in most cases, since anything more verbose
35 ## may provide sensitive information to an attacker who obtains the logs.
37 ## Send all messages of level 'notice' or higher to @LOCALSTATEDIR@/log/tor/notices.log
38 #Log notice file @LOCALSTATEDIR@/log/tor/notices.log
39 ## Send every possible message to @LOCALSTATEDIR@/log/tor/debug.log
40 #Log debug file @LOCALSTATEDIR@/log/tor/debug.log
41 ## Use the system log instead of Tor's logfiles
43 ## To send all messages to stderr:
46 ## Uncomment this to start the process in the background... or use
47 ## --runasdaemon 1 on the command line. This is ignored on Windows;
48 ## see the FAQ entry if you want Tor to run as an NT service.
51 ## The directory for keeping all the keys/etc. By default, we store
52 ## things in $HOME/.tor on Unix, and in Application Data\tor on Windows.
53 #DataDirectory @LOCALSTATEDIR@/lib/tor
55 ## The port on which Tor will listen for local connections from Tor
56 ## controller applications, as documented in control-spec.txt.
58 ## If you enable the controlport, be sure to enable one of these
59 ## authentication methods, to prevent attackers from accessing it.

81 ## See https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-doc-relay for details.
83 ## Required: what port to advertise for incoming Tor connections.
85 ## If you want to listen on a port other than the one advertised in
86 ## ORPort (e.g. to advertise 443 but bind to 9090), you can do it as
87 ## follows. You'll need to do ipchains or other port forwarding
88 ## yourself to make this work.
90 #ORPort 127.0.0.1:9090 NoAdvertise
91 ## If you want to listen on IPv6 your numeric address must be explicitly
92 ## between square brackets as follows. You must also listen on IPv4.
93 #ORPort [2001:DB8::1]:9050
95 ## The IP address or full DNS name for incoming connections to your
96 ## relay. Leave commented out and Tor will guess.
97 #Address noname.example.com
99 ## If you have multiple network interfaces, you can specify one for
100 ## outgoing traffic to use.
101 # OutboundBindAddress 10.0.0.5
103 ## A handle for your relay, so people don't have to refer to it by key.
104 ## Nicknames must be between 1 and 19 characters inclusive, and must
105 ## contain only the alphanumeric characters (a-z, A-Z, 0-9). No unicode,
106 ## no emoji. If not set, "Unnamed" will be used.
107 #Nickname ididnteditheconfig
109 ## Define these to limit how much relayed traffic you will allow. Your
110 ## own traffic is still unthrottled. Note that RelayBandwidthRate must
111 ## be at least 75 kilobytes per second.
112 ## Note that units for these config options are bytes (per second), not
113 ## bits (per second), and that prefixes are binary prefixes, i.e. 2^10,
115 #RelayBandwidthRate 100 KBytes # Throttle traffic to 100KB/s (800Kbps)
116 #RelayBandwidthBurst 200 KBytes # But allow bursts up to 200KB (1600Kb)
118 ## Use these to restrict the maximum traffic per day, week, or month.
119 ## Note that this threshold applies separately to sent and received bytes,
120 ## not to their sum: setting "40 GB" may allow up to 80 GB total before
123 ## Set a maximum of 40 gigabytes each way per period.
124 #AccountingMax 40 GBytes
125 ## Each period starts daily at midnight (AccountingMax is per day)
126 #AccountingStart day 00:00
127 ## Each period starts on the 3rd of the month at 15:00 (AccountingMax
129 #AccountingStart month 3 15:00
131 ## Administrative contact information for this relay or bridge. This line
132 ## can be used to contact you if your relay or bridge is misconfigured or
133 ## something else goes wrong. Note that we archive and publish all
134 ## descriptors containing these lines and that Google indexes them, so
135 ## spammers might also collect them. You may want to obscure the fact that
136 ## it's an email address and/or generate a new address for this purpose.
137 ## Notice that "<" and ">" are recommended.
139 ## If you are running multiple relays, you MUST set this option.
141 #ContactInfo Random Person <nobody AT example dot com>
142 ## You might also include your PGP or GPG fingerprint if you have one.
143 ## Use the full fingerprint, not just a (short) KeyID: KeyIDs are easy
145 #ContactInfo FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF Random Person <nobody AT example dot com>
147 ## Uncomment this to mirror directory information for others. Please do
148 ## if you have enough bandwidth.
149 #DirPort 9030 # what port to advertise for directory connections
150 ## If you want to listen on a port other than the one advertised in
151 ## DirPort (e.g. to advertise 80 but bind to 9091), you can do it as
152 ## follows. below too. You'll need to do ipchains or other port
153 ## forwarding yourself to make this work.
155 #DirPort 127.0.0.1:9091 NoAdvertise
156 ## Uncomment to return an arbitrary blob of html on your DirPort. Now you
157 ## can explain what Tor is if anybody wonders why your IP address is
158 ## contacting them. See contrib/tor-exit-notice.html in Tor's source
159 ## distribution for a sample.
160 #DirPortFrontPage @CONFDIR@/tor-exit-notice.html
162 ## Uncomment this if you run more than one Tor relay, and add the
163 ## identity key fingerprint of each Tor relay you control, even if
164 ## they're on different networks. Include "$" with each key id. You
165 ## declare it here so Tor clients can avoid using more than one of
166 ## your relays in a single circuit.
167 ## See https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq#MultipleRelays
168 ## However, you should never include a bridge's fingerprint here, as it would
169 ## break its concealability and potentially reveal its IP/TCP address.
171 ## If you are running multiple relays, you MUST set this option.
173 ## Note: do not use MyFamily on bridge relays.
174 #MyFamily $keyid,$keyid,...
176 ## Uncomment this if you want your relay to allow IPv6 exit traffic.
177 ## (Relays only allow IPv4 exit traffic by default.)
180 ## A comma-separated list of exit policies. They're considered first
181 ## to last, and the first match wins.
183 ## If you want to allow the same ports on IPv4 and IPv6, write your rules
184 ## using accept/reject *. If you want to allow different ports on IPv4 and
185 ## IPv6, write your IPv6 rules using accept6/reject6 *6, and your IPv4 rules
186 ## using accept/reject *4.
188 ## If you want to _replace_ the default exit policy, end this with either a
189 ## reject *:* or an accept *:*. Otherwise, you're _augmenting_ (prepending to)
190 ## the default exit policy. Leave commented to just use the default, which is
191 ## described in the man page or at
192 ## https://www.torproject.org/documentation.html
194 ## Look at https://www.torproject.org/faq-abuse.html#TypicalAbuses
195 ## for issues you might encounter if you use the default exit policy.
197 ## If certain IPs and ports are blocked externally, e.g. by your firewall,
198 ## you should update your exit policy to reflect this -- otherwise Tor
199 ## users will be told that those destinations are down.
201 ## For security, by default Tor rejects connections to private (local)
202 ## networks, including to the configured primary public IPv4 and IPv6 addresses,
203 ## and any public IPv4 and IPv6 addresses on any interface on the relay.
204 ## See the man page entry for ExitPolicyRejectPrivate if you want to allow
207 #ExitPolicy accept *:6660-6667,reject *:* # allow irc ports on IPv4 and IPv6 but no more
208 #ExitPolicy accept *:119 # accept nntp ports on IPv4 and IPv6 as well as default exit policy
209 #ExitPolicy accept *4:119 # accept nntp ports on IPv4 only as well as default exit policy
210 #ExitPolicy accept6 *6:119 # accept nntp ports on IPv6 only as well as default exit policy
211 #ExitPolicy reject *:* # no exits allowed
213 ## Bridge relays (or "bridges") are Tor relays that aren't listed in the
214 ## main directory. Since there is no complete public list of them, even an
215 ## ISP that filters connections to all the known Tor relays probably
216 ## won't be able to block all the bridges. Also, websites won't treat you
217 ## differently because they won't know you're running Tor. If you can
218 ## be a real relay, please do; but if not, be a bridge!
220 ## Warning: when running your Tor as a bridge, make sure than MyFamily is
223 ## By default, Tor will advertise your bridge to users through various
224 ## mechanisms like https://bridges.torproject.org/. If you want to run
225 ## a private bridge, for example because you'll give out your bridge
226 ## address manually to your friends, uncomment this line:
