I try to set up a Tor private network. I found two tutorials online
(http://liufengyun.chaos-lab.com/prog/2015/01/09/private-tor-network.html
and https://ritter.vg/blog-run_your_own_tor_network.html) but seems that
they both are outdated. Could anyone please give me a tutorial or some hints
on building a private Tor network?
Can you explain what you ran into that was outdated or wasn't working?
While time marches on and tor is not quite the same as when I wrote
that - I'm not sure what would have completely broken since then…
Another option is to use chutney to autoconfigure a test tor network on your local machine.But it can be hard to use and hard to work out what's broken if it doesn't work.
Another question is: what is the minimum
number of required directory authorities for a private Tor network? I am
wondering if one directory authority is enough.
I never tested with 1. I know 3 works.1 works fine. But there's no redundancy if it stops working.(Even numbers are avoided because they run the risk of consensus ties: half vote one way, half vote another, and there is no majority consensus about certain information, or the entire network state.)TimTim Wilson-Brown (teor)teor2345 at gmail dot com
