Tor Private Network
Here are the steps in order to set up a private TOR network:
1. Get the latest release of TOR. For client purposes use at least o.1.1.26. For authoritative routers use 0.1.2.4-alpha dev.
2. First TOR needs to be set up as a server. For this you need to verify that the clock is synchronized with the public time.
3. The name resolution must work.
4. One nickname and OR port must be first defined.
5. If there is a firewall open a hole in it because all outgoing connections must reach the port that has been configured.
6. Start the server and subscribe to the mailing list.
7. Make sure you have read the manual.
The advantages of using a TOR network are that there is a support system for rate limiting that has been built-in. There is an exit policy in every TOR server. This policy determines what outbound connections are permitted or refused to enter the server. Even if the server goes offline there would not be a problem because the directories are notified and the server stops being advertised. Low bandwidth servers also function well with TOR. Lower bandwidth is preferred with DSL and Cable Modem in order to avoid congestion. This is because they have an asymmetric bandwidth. Back up must be provided for the private key of the TOR server. Host name should be 'proxy’ or ‘anonymous' or 'tor-proxy', so that when people see the address, they will understand the situation. If a web server is not being used then the OR port should be changed to 443 and 80 should be the DirPort. Torrc can be directly used to change the port in Win 32 and after that the system can be restarted. UNIX servers need to have port forwarding connections.
