Subject: Convert the Tor manpage to asciidoc.
Commit: a330cdc6fb9b02c3ee3d2282713a2052ff909b62
This should be a very faithful conversion, preserving as much of the layout
of the old manpage as possible. This wasn't possible for the nt-service
and the DataDirectory/state parts. See a later commit for some small
cleanups.
Tiago Faria helped with the asciidoc conversion, big thanks!

-.TH TOR 1 "August 2009" "TOR"
-.SH NAME
-tor \- The second-generation onion router
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B tor
-[\fIOPTION value\fR]...
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.I tor
-is a connection-oriented anonymizing communication
-service. Users choose a source-routed path through a set of nodes, and
-negotiate a "virtual circuit" through the network, in which each node
-knows its predecessor and successor, but no others. Traffic flowing down
-the circuit is unwrapped by a symmetric key at each node, which reveals
-the downstream node.
-.PP
-Basically \fItor\fR provides a distributed network of servers ("onion
-routers"). Users bounce their TCP streams -- web traffic, ftp, ssh, etc --
-around the routers, and recipients, observers, and even the routers
-themselves have difficulty tracking the source of the stream.
-.SH OPTIONS
-\fB-h, -help\fP
-Display a short help message and exit.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fB-f \fR\fIFILE\fP
-FILE contains further "option value" pairs. (Default: @CONFDIR@/torrc)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fB--hash-password\fP
-Generates a hashed password for control port access.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fB--list-fingerprint\fP
-Generate your keys and output your nickname and fingerprint.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fB--verify-config\fP
-Verify the configuration file is valid.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fB--nt-service\fP
-\fB--service [install|remove|start|stop]\fP
-Manage the Tor Windows NT/2000/XP service. Current instructions can
-be found at https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#WinNTService
-.LP
-.TP
-\fB--list-torrc-options\fP
-List all valid options.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fB--version\fP
-Display Tor version and exit.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fB--quiet\fP
-Do not start Tor with a console log unless explicitly requested to do
-so. (By default, Tor starts out logging messages at level "notice" or
-higher to the console, until it has parsed its configuration.)
-.LP
-.TP
-Other options can be specified either on the command-line (\fI--option
-value\fR), or in the configuration file (\fIoption value\fR or
-\fIoption "value"\fR). Options are case-insensitive. C-style escaped
-characters are allowed inside quoted values.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBBandwidthRate \fR\fIN\fR \fBbytes\fR|\fBKB\fR|\fBMB\fR|\fBGB\fR|\fBTB\fP
-A token bucket limits the average incoming bandwidth usage on this node
-to the specified number of bytes per second, and the average outgoing
-bandwidth usage to that same value. (Default: 5 MB)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBBandwidthBurst \fR\fIN\fR \fBbytes\fR|\fBKB\fR|\fBMB\fR|\fBGB\fR|\fBTB\fP
-Limit the maximum token bucket size (also known as the burst) to the
-given number of bytes in each direction. (Default: 10 MB)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBMaxAdvertisedBandwidth \fR\fIN\fR \fBbytes\fR|\fBKB\fR|\fBMB\fR|\fBGB\fR|\fBTB\fP
-If set, we will not advertise more than this amount of bandwidth for our
-BandwidthRate. Server operators who want to reduce the number of clients
-who ask to build circuits through them (since this is proportional to
-advertised bandwidth rate) can thus reduce the CPU demands on their
-server without impacting network performance.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBRelayBandwidthRate \fR\fIN\fR \fBbytes\fR|\fBKB\fR|\fBMB\fR|\fBGB\fR|\fBTB\fP
-If defined, a separate token bucket limits the average incoming bandwidth
-usage for _relayed traffic_ on this node to the specified number of
-bytes per second, and the average outgoing bandwidth usage to that same
-value. Relayed traffic currently is calculated to include answers to directory
-requests, but that may change in future versions. (Default: 0)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBRelayBandwidthBurst \fR\fIN\fR \fBbytes\fR|\fBKB\fR|\fBMB\fR|\fBGB\fR|\fBTB\fP
-Limit the maximum token bucket size (also known as the burst) for
-_relayed traffic_ to the
-given number of bytes in each direction. (Default: 0)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBPerConnBWRate \fR\fIN\fR \fBbytes\fR|\fBKB\fR|\fBMB\fR|\fBGB\fR|\fBTB\fP
-If set, do separate rate limiting for each connection from a non-relay.
-You should never need to change this value, since a network-wide value
-is published in the consensus and your relay will use that value.
-(Default: 0)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBPerConnBWBurst \fR\fIN\fR \fBbytes\fR|\fBKB\fR|\fBMB\fR|\fBGB\fR|\fBTB\fP
-If set, do separate rate limiting for each connection from a non-relay.
-You should never need to change this value, since a network-wide value
-is published in the consensus and your relay will use that value.
-(Default: 0)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBConnLimit \fR\fINUM\fP
-The minimum number of file descriptors that must be available to
-the Tor process before it will start. Tor will ask the OS for as
-many file descriptors as the OS will allow (you can find this
-by "ulimit -H -n"). If this number is less than ConnLimit, then
-Tor will refuse to start.
-
-You probably don't need to adjust this. It has no effect on
-Windows since that platform lacks getrlimit(). (Default: 1000)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBConstrainedSockets \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fR\fP
-If set, Tor will tell the kernel to attempt to shrink the buffers for all
-sockets to the size specified in \fBConstrainedSockSize\fP. This is useful
-for virtual servers and other environments where system level TCP
-buffers may be limited. If you're on a virtual server, and you
-encounter the "Error creating network
-socket: No buffer space available" message, you are likely experiencing
-this problem.
-
-The preferred solution is to have the admin increase the buffer pool for
-the host itself via /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_mem or equivalent facility; this
-configuration option is a second-resort.
-
-The DirPort option should also not be used if TCP buffers are scarce. The
-cached directory requests consume additional sockets which exacerbates the
-problem.
-
-You should \fBnot\fP enable this feature unless you encounter the "no buffer
-space available" issue. Reducing the TCP buffers affects window size for
-the TCP stream and will reduce throughput in proportion to round trip
-time on long paths. (Default: 0.)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBConstrainedSockSize \fR\fIN\fR \fBbytes\fR|\fBKB\fP
-When \fBConstrainedSockets\fP is enabled the receive and transmit buffers for
-all sockets will be set to this limit. Must be a value between 2048
-and 262144, in 1024 byte increments. Default of 8192 is recommended.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBControlPort \fR\fIPort\fP
-If set, Tor will accept connections on this port and allow those
-connections to control the Tor process using the Tor Control Protocol
-(described in control-spec.txt). Note: unless you also specify one of
-\fBHashedControlPassword\fP or \fBCookieAuthentication\fP, setting
-this option will cause Tor to allow any process on the local host to
-control it. This option is required for many Tor controllers; most use
-the value of 9051.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBControlListenAddress \fR\fIIP\fR[:\fIPORT\fR]\fP
-Bind the controller listener to this address. If you specify a port,
-bind to this port rather than the one specified in ControlPort. We
-strongly recommend that you leave this alone unless you know what you're
-doing, since giving attackers access to your control listener is really
-dangerous. (Default: 127.0.0.1)
-This directive can be specified multiple times to bind to multiple
-addresses/ports.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBControlSocket \fR\fIPath\fP
-Like ControlPort, but listens on a Unix domain socket, rather than a TCP
-socket. (Unix and Unix-like systems only.)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBHashedControlPassword \fR\fIhashed_password\fP
-Don't allow any connections on the control port except when the other process
-knows the password whose one-way hash is \fIhashed_password\fP. You can
-compute the hash of a password by running "tor --hash-password
-\fIpassword\fP". You can provide several acceptable passwords by using
-more than HashedControlPassword line.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBCookieAuthentication \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fP
-If this option is set to 1, don't allow any connections on the control port
-except when the connecting process knows the contents of a file named
-"control_auth_cookie", which Tor will create in its data directory. This
-authentication method should only be used on systems with good filesystem
-security. (Default: 0)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBCookieAuthFile \fR\fIPath\fP
-If set, this option overrides the default location and file name for Tor's
-cookie file. (See CookieAuthentication above.)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBCookieAuthFileGroupReadable \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fR|\fIGroupName\fP
-If this option is set to 0, don't allow the filesystem group to read
-the cookie file. If the option is set to 1, make the cookie file
-readable by the default GID. [Making the file readable by other
-groups is not yet implemented; let us know if you need this for some
-reason.] (Default: 0).
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBDataDirectory \fR\fIDIR\fP
-Store working data in DIR (Default: @LOCALSTATEDIR@/lib/tor)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBDirServer \fR[\fInickname\fR] [\fBflags\fR] \fIaddress\fR\fB:\fIport fingerprint\fP
-Use a nonstandard authoritative directory server at the provided
-address and port, with the specified key fingerprint. This option can
-be repeated many times, for multiple authoritative directory
-servers. Flags are separated by spaces, and determine what kind of an
-authority this directory is. By default, every authority is authoritative
-for current ("v2")-style directories, unless the "no-v2" flag is given. If the "v1" flags is provided, Tor will use this server as an
-authority for old-style (v1) directories as well. (Only directory mirrors
-care about this.) Tor will use this server as an authority for hidden
-service information if the "hs" flag is set, or if the "v1" flag is set and
-the "no-hs" flag is \fBnot\fP set. Tor will use this authority as a bridge
-authoritative directory if the "bridge" flag is set. If a flag
-"orport=\fBport\fR" is given, Tor will use the given port when opening
-encrypted tunnels to the dirserver. Lastly, if a flag "v3ident=\fBfp\fR" is
-given, the dirserver is a v3 directory authority whose v3 long-term
-signing key has the fingerprint \fBfp\fR.
-
-If no \fBdirserver\fP line is given, Tor will use the default
-directory servers. NOTE: this option is intended
-for setting up a private Tor network with its own directory authorities. If
-you use it, you will be distinguishable from other users, because you won't
-believe the same authorities they do.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBAlternateDirAuthority \fR[\fInickname\fR] [\fBflags\fR] \fIaddress\fR\fB:\fIport fingerprint\fP
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBAlternateHSAuthority \fR[\fInickname\fR] [\fBflags\fR] \fIaddress\fR\fB:\fIport fingerprint\fP
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBAlternateBridgeAuthority \fR[\fInickname\fR] [\fBflags\fR] \fIaddress\fR\fB:\fIport fingerprint\fP
-As DirServer, but replaces less of the default directory authorities.
-Using AlternateDirAuthority replaces the default Tor directory
-authorities, but leaves the hidden service authorities and bridge
-authorities in place. Similarly, Using AlternateHSAuthority replaces
-the default hidden service authorities, but not the directory or
-bridge authorities.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBDisableAllSwap \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fR\fP
-If set to 1, Tor will attempt to lock all current and future memory pages.
-On supported platforms, this should effectively disable any and all attempts
-to page out memory. Under the hood, DisableAllSwap uses mlockall() on unix-like
-platforms. Windows is currently unsupported. We believe that this feature works
-on modern Gnu/Linux distributions. Mac OS X appears to be broken by design. On
-reasonable *BSD systems it should also be supported but this is untested. This
-option requires that you start your Tor as root. If you use DisableAllSwap,
-please consider using the User option to properly reduce the privileges of
-your Tor.
-(Default: 0)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBFetchDirInfoEarly \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fR\fP
-If set to 1, Tor will always fetch directory information like other
-directory caches, even if you don't meet the normal criteria for
-fetching early. Normal users should leave it off.
-(Default: 0)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBFetchDirInfoExtraEarly \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fR\fP
-If set to 1, Tor will fetch directory information before other
-directory caches. It will attempt to download directory information closer to
-the start of the consensus period. Normal users should leave it off.
-(Default: 0)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBFetchHidServDescriptors \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fR\fP
-If set to 0, Tor will never fetch any hidden service descriptors from
-the rendezvous directories. This option is only useful if you're using
-a Tor controller that handles hidden service fetches for you.
-(Default: 1)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBFetchServerDescriptors \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fR\fP
-If set to 0, Tor will never fetch any network status summaries or server
-descriptors from the directory servers. This option is only useful if
-you're using a Tor controller that handles directory fetches for you.
-(Default: 1)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBFetchUselessDescriptors \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fR\fP
-If set to 1, Tor will fetch every non-obsolete descriptor from the
-authorities that it hears about. Otherwise, it will avoid fetching
-useless descriptors, for example for routers that are not running.
-This option is useful if you're using the contributed "exitlist"
-script to enumerate Tor nodes that exit to certain addresses.
-(Default: 0)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBHTTPProxy\fR \fIhost\fR[:\fIport\fR]\fP
-Tor will make all its directory requests through this host:port
-(or host:80 if port is not specified),
-rather than connecting directly to any directory servers.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBHTTPProxyAuthenticator\fR \fIusername:password\fP
-If defined, Tor will use this username:password for Basic HTTP proxy
-authentication, as in RFC 2617. This is currently the only form of
-HTTP proxy authentication that Tor supports; feel free to submit a
-patch if you want it to support others.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBHTTPSProxy\fR \fIhost\fR[:\fIport\fR]\fP
-Tor will make all its OR (SSL) connections through this host:port
-(or host:443 if port is not specified), via HTTP CONNECT rather than
-connecting directly to servers. You may want to set \fBFascistFirewall\fR
-to restrict the set of ports you might try to connect to, if your HTTPS
-proxy only allows connecting to certain ports.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBHTTPSProxyAuthenticator\fR \fIusername:password\fP
-If defined, Tor will use this username:password for Basic HTTPS proxy
-authentication, as in RFC 2617. This is currently the only form of
-HTTPS proxy authentication that Tor supports; feel free to submit a
-patch if you want it to support others.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBSocks4Proxy\fR \fIhost\fR[:\fIport\fR]\fP
-Tor will make all OR connections through the SOCKS 4 proxy at host:port
-(or host:1080 if port is not specified).
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBSocks5Proxy\fR \fIhost\fR[:\fIport\fR]\fP
-Tor will make all OR connections through the SOCKS 5 proxy at host:port
-(or host:1080 if port is not specified).
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBSocks5ProxyUsername\fR \fIusername\fP
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBSocks5ProxyPassword\fR \fIpassword\fP
-If defined, authenticate to the SOCKS 5 server using username and password
-in accordance to RFC 1929. Both username and password must be between 1 and 255
-characters.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBKeepalivePeriod \fR\fINUM\fP
-To keep firewalls from expiring connections, send a padding keepalive
-cell every NUM seconds on open connections that are in use. If the
-connection has no open circuits, it will instead be closed after NUM
-seconds of idleness. (Default: 5 minutes)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBLog \fR\fIminSeverity\fR[-\fImaxSeverity\fR] \fBstderr\fR|\fBstdout\fR|\fBsyslog\fR\fP
-Send all messages between \fIminSeverity\fR and \fImaxSeverity\fR to
-the standard output stream, the standard error stream, or to the system
-log. (The "syslog" value is only supported on Unix.) Recognized
-severity levels are debug, info, notice, warn, and err. We advise using
-"notice" in most cases, since anything more verbose may provide sensitive
-information to an attacker who obtains the logs. If only one
-severity level is given, all messages of that level or higher will be
-sent to the listed destination.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBLog \fR\fIminSeverity\fR[-\fImaxSeverity\fR] \fBfile\fR \fIFILENAME\fP
-As above, but send log messages to the listed filename. The "Log"
-option may appear more than once in a configuration file. Messages
-are sent to all the logs that match their severity level.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBOutboundBindAddress \fR\fIIP\fP
-Make all outbound connections originate from the IP address specified. This
-is only useful when you have multiple network interfaces, and you want all
-of Tor's outgoing connections to use a single one.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBPidFile \fR\fIFILE\fP
-On startup, write our PID to FILE. On clean shutdown, remove FILE.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBProtocolWarnings \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fR\fP
-If 1, Tor will log with severity 'warn' various cases of other parties
-not following the Tor specification. Otherwise, they are logged with
-severity 'info'. (Default: 0)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBRunAsDaemon \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fR\fP
-If 1, Tor forks and daemonizes to the background. This option has
-no effect on Windows; instead you should use the --service command-line
-option. (Default: 0)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBSafeLogging \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fR|\fBrelay\fP
-Tor can scrub potentially sensitive strings from log messages (e.g. addresses)
-by replacing them with the string [scrubbed]. This way logs can still be
-useful, but they don't leave behind personally identifying information
-about what sites a user might have visited.
-
-If this option is set to 0, Tor will not perform any scrubbing, if it is set
-to 1, all potentially sensitive strings are replaced. If it is set to
-relay, all log messages generated when acting as a relay are sanitized, but all
-messages generated when acting as a client are not. (Default: 1)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBUser \fR\fIUID\fP
-On startup, setuid to this user and setgid to their primary group.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBHardwareAccel \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fP
-If non-zero, try to use built-in (static) crypto hardware acceleration when
-available. (Default: 0)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBAccelName \fR\fINAME\fP
-When using OpenSSL hardware crypto acceleration attempt to load the dynamic
-engine of this name. This must be used for any dynamic hardware engine. Names
-can be verified with the openssl engine command.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBAccelDir \fR\fIDIR\fP
-Specify this option if using dynamic hardware acceleration and the engine
-implementation library resides somewhere other than the OpenSSL default.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBAvoidDiskWrites \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fP
-If non-zero, try to write to disk less frequently than we would otherwise.
-This is useful when running on flash memory or other media that support only
-a limited number of writes. (Default: 0)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBTunnelDirConns \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fP
-If non-zero, when a directory server we contact supports it, we will
-build a one-hop circuit and make an encrypted connection via its
-ORPort. (Default: 1)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBPreferTunneledDirConns \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fP
-If non-zero, we will avoid directory servers that don't support tunneled
-directory connections, when possible. (Default: 1)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBCircuitPriorityHalflife \fR\fBNUM\fB1\fP
-If this value is set, we override the default algorithm for choosing which
-circuit's cell to deliver or relay next. When the value is 0, we
-round-robin between the active circuits on a connection, delivering one cell
-from each in turn. When the value is positive, we prefer delivering cells
-from whichever connection has the lowest weighted cell count, where cells are
-weighted exponentially according to the supplied CircuitPriorityHalflife
-value (in seconds). If this option is not set at all, we use the behavior
-recommended in the current consensus networkstatus.
-This is an advanced option; you generally shouldn't have mess with it.
-(Default: not set.)
-
-.SH CLIENT OPTIONS
-.PP
-The following options are useful only for clients (that is, if \fBSocksPort\fP is non-zero):
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBAllowInvalidNodes\fR \fBentry\fR|\fBexit\fR|\fBmiddle\fR|\fBintroduction\fR|\fBrendezvous\fR|...\fP
-If some Tor servers are obviously not working right, the directory
-authorities can manually mark them as invalid, meaning that it's not
-recommended you use them for entry or exit positions in your circuits. You
-can opt to use them in some circuit positions, though. The default is
-"middle,rendezvous", and other choices are not advised.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBExcludeSingleHopRelays \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fR\fP
-This option controls whether circuits built by Tor will include relays with
-the AllowSingleHopExits flag set to true. If ExcludeSingleHopRelays is set to
-0, these relays will be included. Note that these relays might be at higher
-risk of being seized or observed, so they are not normally included.
-(Default: 1)
-.LP

-\fBTrackHostExits \fR\fIhost\fR,\fI.domain\fR,\fI...\fR\fP
-For each value in the comma separated list, Tor will track recent connections
-to hosts that match this value and attempt to
-reuse the same exit node for each. If the value is prepended with a '.', it is
-treated as matching an entire domain. If one of the values is just a '.', it
-means match everything. This option is useful if you frequently connect to
-sites that will expire all your authentication cookies (i.e. log you out) if
-your IP address changes. Note that this option does have the disadvantage of

-.LP

-\fBTrackHostExitsExpire \fR\fINUM\fP

-\fBUpdateBridgesFromAuthority \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fR\fP

-.LP
-.TP
-\fBUseBridges \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fR\fP
-When set, Tor will fetch descriptors for each bridge listed in the
-"Bridge" config lines, and use these relays as both entry guards and
-directory guards. (Default: 0)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBUseEntryGuards \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fR\fP
-If this option is set to 1, we pick a few long-term entry servers, and
-try to stick with them. This is desirable because
-constantly changing servers increases the odds that an adversary who owns

-.TP
-\fBSafeSocks \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fR\fP
-When this option is enabled, Tor will reject application connections that
-use unsafe variants of the socks protocol -- ones that only provide an
-IP address, meaning the application is doing a DNS resolve first.
-Specifically, these are socks4 and socks5 when not doing remote DNS.
-(Defaults to 0.)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBTestSocks \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fR\fP
-When this option is enabled, Tor will make a notice-level log entry for

-a safe socks protocol or an unsafe one (see above entry on SafeSocks).
-This helps to determine whether an application using Tor is possibly
-leaking DNS requests.
-(Default: 0)

-\fBVirtualAddrNetwork \fR\fIAddress\fB/\fIbits\fP
-When a controller asks for a virtual (unused) address with the
-MAPADDRESS command, Tor picks an unassigned address from this range.
-(Default: 127.192.0.0/10)

-When providing proxy server service to a network of computers using a tool like
-dns-proxy-tor,
-change this address to "10.192.0.0/10" or "172.16.0.0/12".
-The default \fBVirtualAddrNetwork\fP address range on a

-\fBAllowNonRFC953Hostnames \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fR\fP
-When this option is disabled, Tor blocks hostnames containing illegal

-\fBAllowDotExit \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fR\fP
-If enabled, we convert "www.google.com.foo.exit" addresses on the

-exit relays can use it to manipulate your path selection. (Default: 0)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBFastFirstHopPK \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fR\fP
-When this option is disabled, Tor uses the public key step for the first
-hop of creating circuits. Skipping it is generally safe since we have
-already used TLS to authenticate the relay and to establish forward-secure
-keys. Turning this option off makes circuit building slower.
-
-Note that Tor will always use the public key step for the first hop if

-\fBClientDNSRejectInternalAddresses\fP \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fR\fP
-If true, Tor does not believe any anonymously retrieved DNS answer that tells
-it that an address resolves to an internal address (like 127.0.0.1 or

-an interval of ports "\fIFROM_PORT\fP\fB-\fP\fITO_PORT\fP", or "\fB*\fP".
-If \fIPORT\fP is omitted, that means "\fB*\fP".
-
-For example, "accept 18.7.22.69:*,reject 18.0.0.0/8:*,accept *:*" would

-behalf of clients.
-(Defaults to "1".)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBServerDNSTestAddresses \fR\fIaddress\fR,\fIaddress\fR,\fI...\fP
-When we're detecting DNS hijacking, make sure that these \fIvalid\fP

-completely useless, and we'll reset our exit policy to "reject *:*".
-This option only affects name lookups that your server does on
-behalf of clients.
-(Defaults to "www.google.com, www.mit.edu, www.yahoo.com,
-www.slashdot.org".)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBServerDNSAllowNonRFC953Hostnames \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fR\fP
-When this option is disabled, Tor does not try to resolve hostnames
-containing illegal characters (like @ and :) rather than sending them to an
-exit node to be resolved. This helps trap accidental attempts to resolve
-URLs and so on.
-This option only affects name lookups that your server does on
-behalf of clients.
-(Default: 0)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBBridgeRecordUsageByCountry \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fR\fP
-When this option is enabled and BridgeRelay is also enabled, and we
-have GeoIP data, Tor keeps a keep a per-country count of how many
-client addresses have contacted it so that it can help the bridge
-authority guess which countries have blocked access to it. (Default: 1)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBServerDNSRandomizeCase \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fR\fP
-When this option is set, Tor sets the case of each character randomly in
-outgoing DNS requests, and makes sure that the case matches in DNS replies.
-This so-called "0x20 hack" helps resist some types of DNS poisoning attack.
-For more information, see "Increased DNS Forgery Resistance through 0x20-Bit
-Encoding".
-This option only affects name lookups that your server does on

-.SH DIRECTORY SERVER OPTIONS
-.PP
-The following options are useful only for directory servers (that is, if \fBDirPort\fP is non-zero):
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBAuthoritativeDirectory \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fR\fP
-When this option is set to 1, Tor operates as an authoritative
-directory server. Instead of caching the directory, it generates its
-own list of good servers, signs it, and sends that to the clients.
-Unless the clients already have you listed as a trusted directory, you
-probably do not want to set this option. Please coordinate with the other
-admins at tor-ops at freehaven.net if you think you should be a directory.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBDirPortFrontPage \fIFILENAME\fP
-When this option is set, it takes an HTML file and publishes it as "/" on
-the DirPort. Now relay operators can provide a disclaimer without needing
-to set up a separate webserver. There's a sample disclaimer in
-contrib/tor-exit-notice.html.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBV1AuthoritativeDirectory \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fR\fP
-When this option is set in addition to \fBAuthoritativeDirectory\fP, Tor
-generates version 1 directory and running-routers documents (for legacy
-Tor clients up to 0.1.0.x).
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBV2AuthoritativeDirectory \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fR\fP
-When this option is set in addition to \fBAuthoritativeDirectory\fP, Tor
-generates version 2 network statuses and serves descriptors, etc as
-described in doc/spec/dir-spec-v2.txt (for Tor clients and servers
-running 0.1.1.x and 0.1.2.x).
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBV3AuthoritativeDirectory \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fR\fP
-When this option is set in addition to \fBAuthoritativeDirectory\fP, Tor
-generates version 3 network statuses and serves descriptors, etc as
-described in doc/spec/dir-spec.txt (for Tor clients and servers
-running at least 0.2.0.x).
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBVersioningAuthoritativeDirectory \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fR\fP
-When this option is set to 1, Tor adds information on
-which versions of Tor are still believed safe for use to
-the published directory. Each version 1 authority is
-automatically a versioning authority; version 2 authorities
-provide this service optionally. See \fBRecommendedVersions\fP,
-\fBRecommendedClientVersions\fP, and \fBRecommendedServerVersions\fP.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBNamingAuthoritativeDirectory \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fR\fP
-When this option is set to 1, then the server advertises that it has
-opinions about nickname-to-fingerprint bindings. It will include these
-opinions in its published network-status pages, by listing servers with
-the flag "Named" if a correct binding between that nickname and
-fingerprint has been registered with the dirserver. Naming dirservers
-will refuse to accept or publish descriptors that contradict a
-registered binding. See \fBapproved-routers\fP in the \fBFILES\fP
-section below.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBHSAuthoritativeDir \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fR\fP
-When this option is set in addition to \fBAuthoritativeDirectory\fP, Tor also
-accepts and serves hidden service descriptors. (Default: 0)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBHidServDirectoryV2 \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fR\fP
-When this option is set, Tor accepts and serves v2 hidden service
-descriptors. Setting DirPort is not required for this, because clients
-connect via the ORPort by default. (Default: 1)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBBridgeAuthoritativeDir \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fR\fP
-When this option is set in addition to \fBAuthoritativeDirectory\fP, Tor
-accepts and serves router descriptors, but it caches and serves the main
-networkstatus documents rather than generating its own. (Default: 0)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBMinUptimeHidServDirectoryV2 \fR\fIN\fR \fBseconds\fR|\fBminutes\fR|\fBhours\fR|\fBdays\fR|\fBweeks\fP
-Minimum uptime of a v2 hidden service directory to be accepted as such by

-Advertise the directory service on this port.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBDirListenAddress \fR\fIIP\fR[:\fIPORT\fR]\fP
-Bind the directory service to this address. If you specify a port, bind
-to this port rather than the one specified in DirPort. (Default: 0.0.0.0)
-This directive can be specified multiple times to bind to multiple
-addresses/ports.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBDirPolicy \fR\fIpolicy\fR,\fIpolicy\fR,\fI...\fP

-directory ports.
-The policies have the same form as exit policies above.
-
-.SH DIRECTORY AUTHORITY SERVER OPTIONS
-.PP
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBRecommendedVersions \fR\fISTRING\fP
-STRING is a comma-separated list of Tor versions currently believed
-to be safe. The list is included in each directory, and nodes which

-spliced together.
-When this is set then
-\fBVersioningAuthoritativeDirectory\fP should be set too.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBRecommendedClientVersions \fR\fISTRING\fP
-STRING is a comma-separated list of Tor versions currently believed

-\fBVersioningAuthoritativeDirectory\fP should be set too.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBRecommendedServerVersions \fR\fISTRING\fP
-STRING is a comma-separated list of Tor versions currently believed

-.LP
-.TP
-\fBDirAllowPrivateAddresses \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fR\fP
-If set to 1, Tor will accept router descriptors with arbitrary "Address"
-elements. Otherwise, if the address is not an IP address or is a private
-IP address, it will reject the router descriptor. Defaults to 0.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBAuthDirBadDir \fR\fIAddressPattern\fR...\fP
-Authoritative directories only. A set of address patterns for servers that

-Authoritative directories only. A set of address patterns for servers that
-will never be listed as "valid" in any network status document that this
-authority publishes.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBAuthDirReject \fR\fIAddressPattern\fR...\fP
-Authoritative directories only. A set of address patterns for servers that
-will never be listed at all in any network status document that this
-authority publishes, or accepted as an OR address in any descriptor submitted
-for publication by this authority.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBAuthDirListBadDirs \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fR\fP
-Authoritative directories only. If set to 1, this directory has
-some opinion about which nodes are unsuitable as directory caches. (Do not
-set this to 1 unless you plan to list non-functioning directories as bad;
-otherwise, you are effectively voting in favor of every declared directory.)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBAuthDirListBadExits \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fR\fP
-Authoritative directories only. If set to 1, this directory has
-some opinion about which nodes are unsuitable as exit nodes. (Do not
-set this to 1 unless you plan to list non-functioning exits as bad;
-otherwise, you are effectively voting in favor of every declared exit
-as an exit.)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBAuthDirRejectUnlisted \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fR\fP
-Authoritative directories only. If set to 1, the directory server
-rejects all uploaded server descriptors that aren't explicitly listed
-in the fingerprints file. This acts as a "panic button" if we get
-hit with a Sybil attack. (Default: 0)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBAuthDirMaxServersPerAddr\fR \fINUM\fP
-Authoritative directories only. The maximum number of servers that we

-"no limit". (Default: 2)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBAuthDirMaxServersPerAuthAddr\fR \fINUM\fP
-Authoritative directories only. Like AuthDirMaxServersPerAddr, but
-applies to addresses shared with directory authorities. (Default: 5)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBV3AuthVotingInterval\fR \fR\fIN\fR \fBminutes\fR|\fBhours\fP
-V3 authoritative directories only. Configures the server's preferred
-voting interval. Note that voting will \fIactually\fP happen at an

-intervals. This time SHOULD divide evenly into a day. (Default: 1 hour)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBV3AuthVoteDelay\fR \fR\fIN\fR \fBminutes\fR|\fBhours\fP
-V3 authoritative directories only. Configures the server's preferred
-delay between publishing its vote and assuming it has all the votes
-from all the other authorities. Note that the actual time used is not
-the server's preferred time, but the consensus of all preferences.
-(Default: 5 minutes.)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBV3AuthDistDelay\fR \fR\fIN\fR \fBminutes\fR|\fBhours\fP
-V3 authoritative directories only. Configures the server's preferred

-actual time used is not the server's preferred time, but the consensus
-of all preferences. (Default: 5 minutes.)
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBV3AuthNIntervalsValid\fR \fINUM\fP
-V3 authoritative directories only. Configures the number of
-VotingIntervals for which each consensus should be valid for.
-Choosing high numbers increases network partitioning risks; choosing
-low numbers increases directory traffic. Note that the actual number

-.SH HIDDEN SERVICE OPTIONS
-.PP
-The following options are used to configure a hidden service.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBHiddenServiceDir \fR\fIDIRECTORY\fP
-Store data files for a hidden service in DIRECTORY. Every hidden
-service must have a separate directory. You may use this option multiple
-times to specify multiple services.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBHiddenServicePort \fR\fIVIRTPORT \fR[\fITARGET\fR]\fP
-Configure a virtual port VIRTPORT for a hidden service. You may use this
-option multiple times; each time applies to the service using the most recent
-hiddenservicedir. By default, this option maps the virtual port to the
-same port on 127.0.0.1. You may override the target port, address, or both
-by specifying a target of addr, port, or addr:port. You may also have
-multiple lines with the same VIRTPORT: when a user connects to that VIRTPORT,
-one of the TARGETs from those lines will be chosen at random.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBPublishHidServDescriptors \fR\fB0\fR|\fB1\fR\fP
-If set to 0, Tor will run any hidden services you configure, but it won't
-advertise them to the rendezvous directory. This option is only useful

-\fBHiddenServiceAuthorizeClient \fR\fIauth-type\fR \fR\fIclient-name\fR,\fIclient-name\fR,\fI...\fP
-If configured, the hidden service is accessible for authorized clients
-only. The auth-type can either be 'basic' for a general-purpose
-authorization protocol or 'stealth' for a less scalable protocol that also
-hides service activity from unauthorized clients. Only clients that are
-listed here are authorized to access the hidden service. Valid client names
-are 1 to 19 characters long and only use characters in A-Za-z0-9+-_
-(no spaces). If this option is set, the hidden service is not accessible
-for clients without authorization any more. Generated authorization data
-can be found in the hostname file. Clients need to put this authorization
-data in their configuration file using \fBHidServAuth\fR.
-.LP
-.TP
-\fBRendPostPeriod \fR\fIN\fR \fBseconds\fR|\fBminutes\fR|\fBhours\fR|\fBdays\fR|\fBweeks\fP

+NAME
+----
+tor - The second-generation onion router
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+**tor** [__OPTION__ __value__]...
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+__tor__ is a connection-oriented anonymizing communication
+service. Users choose a source-routed path through a set of nodes, and
+negotiate a "virtual circuit" through the network, in which each node
+knows its predecessor and successor, but no others. Traffic flowing down
+the circuit is unwrapped by a symmetric key at each node, which reveals
+the downstream node. +
+
+Basically __tor__ provides a distributed network of servers ("onion routers").
+Users bounce their TCP streams -- web traffic, ftp, ssh, etc -- around the
+routers, and recipients, observers, and even the routers themselves have
+difficulty tracking the source of the stream.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+**-h**, **-help**::
+ Display a short help message and exit.
+
+**-f** __FILE__::
+ FILE contains further "option value" paris. (Default: @CONFDIR@/torrc)
+
+**--hash-password**::
+ Generates a hashed password for control port access.
+
+**--list-fingerprint**::
+ Generate your keys and output your nickname and fingerprint.
+
+**--verify-config**::
+ Verify the configuration file is valid.
+
+**--nt-service**::
+ **--service [install|remove|start|stop]** Manage the Tor Windows
+ NT/2000/XP service. Current instructions can be found at
+ https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#WinNTService
+
+**--list-torrc-options**::
+ List all valid options.
+
+**--version**::
+ Display Tor version and exit.
+
+**--quiet**::
+ Do not start Tor with a console log unless explicitly requested to do so.
+ (By default, Tor starts out logging messages at level "notice" or higher to
+ the console, until it has parsed its configuration.)
+
+Other options can be specified either on the command-line (--option
+ value), or in the configuration file (option value or option "value").
+ Options are case-insensitive. C-style escaped characters are allowed inside
+ quoted values.
+
+**BandwidthRate** __N__ **bytes**|**KB**|**MB**|**GB**|**TB**::
+ A token bucket limits the average incoming bandwidth usage on this node to
+ the specified number of bytes per second, and the average outgoing
+ bandwidth usage to that same value. (Default: 5 MB)
+
+**BandwidthBurst** __N__ **bytes**|**KB**|**MB**|**GB**|**TB**::
+ Limit the maximum token bucket size (also known as the burst) to the given
+ number of bytes in each direction. (Default: 10 MB)
+
+**MaxAdvertisedBandwidth** __N__ **bytes**|**KB**|**MB**|**GB**|**TB**::
+ If set, we will not advertise more than this amount of bandwidth for our
+ BandwidthRate. Server operators who want to reduce the number of clients
+ who ask to build circuits through them (since this is proportional to
+ advertised bandwidth rate) can thus reduce the CPU demands on their server
+ without impacting network performance.
+
+**RelayBandwidthRate** __N__ **bytes**|**KB**|**MB**|**GB**|**TB**::
+ If defined, a separate token bucket limits the average incoming bandwidth
+ usage for \_relayed traffic_ on this node to the specified number of bytes
+ per second, and the average outgoing bandwidth usage to that same value.
+ Relayed traffic currently is calculated to include answers to directory
+ requests, but that may change in future versions. (Default: 0)
+
+**RelayBandwidthBurst** __N__ **bytes**|**KB**|**MB**|**GB**|**TB**::
+ Limit the maximum token bucket size (also known as the burst) for
+ \_relayed traffic_ to the given number of bytes in each direction.
+ (Default: 0)
+
+**PerConnBWRate** __N__ **bytes**|**KB**|**MB**|**GB**|**TB**::
+ If set, do separate rate limiting for each connection from a non-relay.
+ You should never need to change this value, since a network-wide value is
+ published in the consensus and your relay will use that value. (Default: 0)
+
+**PerConnBWBurst** __N__ **bytes**|**KB**|**MB**|**GB**|**TB**::
+ If set, do separate rate limiting for each connection from a non-relay.
+ You should never need to change this value, since a network-wide value is
+ published in the consensus and your relay will use that value. (Default: 0)
+
+**ConLimit** __NUM__::
+ The minimum number of file descriptors that must be available to the Tor
+ process before it will start. Tor will ask the OS for as many file
+ descriptors as the OS will allow (you can find this by "ulimit -H -n").
+ If this number is less than ConnLimit, then Tor will refuse to start. +
+ +
+ You probably don't need to adjust this. It has no effect on Windows
+ since that platform lacks getrlimit(). (Default: 1000)
+
+**ConstrainedSockets** **0**|**1**::
+ If set, Tor will tell the kernel to attempt to shrink the buffers for all
+ sockets to the size specified in **ConstrainedSockSize**. This is useful for
+ virtual servers and other environments where system level TCP buffers may
+ be limited. If you're on a virtual server, and you encounter the "Error
+ creating network socket: No buffer space available" message, you are
+ likely experiencing this problem. +
+ +
+ The preferred solution is to have the admin increase the buffer pool for
+ the host itself via /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_mem or equivalent facility;
+ this configuration option is a second-resort. +
+ +
+ The DirPort option should also not be used if TCP buffers are scarce. The
+ cached directory requests consume additional sockets which exacerbates
+ the problem. +
+ +
+ You should **not** enable this feature unless you encounter the "no buffer
+ space available" issue. Reducing the TCP buffers affects window size for
+ the TCP stream and will reduce throughput in proportion to round trip
+ time on long paths. (Default: 0.)
+
+**ConstrainedSockSize** __N__ **bytes**|**KB**::
+ When **ConstrainedSockets** is enabled the receive and transmit buffers for
+ all sockets will be set to this limit. Must be a value between 2048 and
+ 262144, in 1024 byte increments. Default of 8192 is recommended.
+
+**ControlPort** __Port__::
+ If set, Tor will accept connections on this port and allow those
+ connections to control the Tor process using the Tor Control Protocol
+ (described in control-spec.txt). Note: unless you also specify one of
+ **HashedControlPassword** or **CookieAuthentication**, setting this option will
+ cause Tor to allow any process on the local host to control it. This
+ option is required for many Tor controllers; most use the value of 9051.
+
+**ControlListenAddress** __IP__[:__PORT__]::
+ Bind the controller listener to this address. If you specify a port, bind
+ to this port rather than the one specified in ControlPort. We strongly
+ recommend that you leave this alone unless you know what you're doing,
+ since giving attackers access to your control listener is really
+ dangerous. (Default: 127.0.0.1) This directive can be specified multiple
+ times to bind to multiple addresses/ports.
+
+**ControlSocket** __Path__::
+ Like ControlPort, but listens on a Unix domain socket, rather than a TCP
+ socket. (Unix and Unix-like systems only.)
+
+**HashedControlPassword** __hashed_password__::
+ Don't allow any connections on the control port except when the other
+ process knows the password whose one-way hash is __hashed_password__. You
+ can compute the hash of a password by running "tor --hash-password
+ __password__". You can provide several acceptable passwords by using more
+ than HashedControlPassword line.
+
+**CookieAuthentication** **0**|**1**::
+ If this option is set to 1, don't allow any connections on the control port
+ except when the connecting process knows the contents of a file named
+ "control_auth_cookie", which Tor will create in its data directory. This
+ authentication method should only be used on systems with good filesystem
+ security. (Default: 0)
+
+**CookieAuthFile** __Path__::
+ If set, this option overrides the default location and file name
+ for Tor's cookie file. (See CookieAuthentication above.)
+
+**CookieAuthFileGroupReadable** **0**|**1**|__Groupname__::
+ If this option is set to 0, don't allow the filesystem group to read the
+ cookie file. If the option is set to 1, make the cookie file readable by
+ the default GID. [Making the file readable by other groups is not yet
+ implemented; let us know if you need this for some reason.] (Default: 0).
+
+**DataDirectory** __DIR__::
+ Store working data in DIR (Default: @LOCALSTATEDIR@/lib/tor)
+
+**DirServer** [__nickname__] [**flags**] __address__:__port__ __fingerprint__::
+ Use a nonstandard authoritative directory server at the provided address
+ and port, with the specified key fingerprint. This option can be repeated
+ many times, for multiple authoritative directory servers. Flags are
+ separated by spaces, and determine what kind of an authority this directory
+ is. By default, every authority is authoritative for current ("v2")-style
+ directories, unless the "no-v2" flag is given. If the "v1" flags is
+ provided, Tor will use this server as an authority for old-style (v1)
+ directories as well. (Only directory mirrors care about this.) Tor will
+ use this server as an authority for hidden service information if the "hs"
+ flag is set, or if the "v1" flag is set and the "no-hs" flag is **not** set.
+ Tor will use this authority as a bridge authoritative directory if the
+ "bridge" flag is set. If a flag "orport=**port**" is given, Tor will use the
+ given port when opening encrypted tunnels to the dirserver. Lastly, if a
+ flag "v3ident=**fp**" is given, the dirserver is a v3 directory authority
+ whose v3 long-term signing key has the fingerprint **fp**. +
+ +
+ If no **dirserver** line is given, Tor will use the default directory
+ servers. NOTE: this option is intended for setting up a private Tor
+ network with its own directory authorities. If you use it, you will be
+ distinguishable from other users, because you won't believe the same
+ authorities they do.
+
+**AlternateDirAuthority** [__nickname__] [**flags**] __address__:__port__ __fingerprint__ +
+
+**AlternateHSAuthority** [__nickname__] [**flags**] __address__:__port__ __fingerprint__ +
+
+**AlternateBridgeAuthority** [__nickname__] [**flags**] __address__:__port__ __ fingerprint__::
+ As DirServer, but replaces less of the default directory authorities. Using
+ AlternateDirAuthority replaces the default Tor directory authorities, but
+ leaves the hidden service authorities and bridge authorities in place.
+ Similarly, Using AlternateHSAuthority replaces the default hidden service
+ authorities, but not the directory or bridge authorities.
+
+**DisableAllSwap** **0**|**1**::
+ If set to 1, Tor will attempt to lock all current and future memory pages.
+ On supported platforms, this should effectively disable any and all
+ attempts to page out memory. Under the hood, DisableAllSwap uses mlockall()
+ on unix-like platforms. Windows is currently unsupported. We believe that
+ this feature works on modern Gnu/Linux distributions. Mac OS X appears to
+ be broken by design. On reasonable *BSD systems it should also be
+ supported but this is untested. This option requires that you start your
+ Tor as root. If you use DisableAllSwap, please consider using the User
+ option to properly reduce the privileges of your Tor.
+ (Default: 0)
+
+**FetchDirInfoEarly** **0**|**1**::
+ If set to 1, Tor will always fetch directory information like other
+ directory caches, even if you don't meet the normal criteria for fetching
+ early. Normal users should leave it off. (Default: 0)
+
+**FetchDirInfoExtraEarly** **0**|**1**::
+ If set to 1, Tor will fetch directory information before other directory
+ caches. It will attempt to download directory information closer to the
+ start of the consensus period. Normal users should leave it off.
+ (Default: 0)
+
+**FetchHidServDescriptors** **0**|**1**::
+ If set to 0, Tor will never fetch any hidden service descriptors from the
+ rendezvous directories. This option is only useful if you're using a Tor
+ controller that handles hidden service fetches for you. (Default: 1)
+
+**FetchServerDescriptors** **0**|**1**::
+ If set to 0, Tor will never fetch any network status summaries or server
+ descriptors from the directory servers. This option is only useful if
+ you're using a Tor controller that handles directory fetches for you.
+ (Default: 1)
+
+**FetchUselessDescriptors** **0**|**1**::
+ If set to 1, Tor will fetch every non-obsolete descriptor from the
+ authorities that it hears about. Otherwise, it will avoid fetching useless
+ descriptors, for example for routers that are not running. This option is
+ useful if you're using the contributed "exitlist" script to enumerate Tor
+ nodes that exit to certain addresses. (Default: 0)
+
+**HTTPProxy** __host__[:__port__]::
+ Tor will make all its directory requests through this host:port (or host:80
+ if port is not specified), rather than connecting directly to any directory
+ servers.
+
+**HTTPProxyAuthenticator** __username:password__::
+ If defined, Tor will use this username:password for Basic HTTP proxy
+ authentication, as in RFC 2617. This is currently the only form of HTTP
+ proxy authentication that Tor supports; feel free to submit a patch if you
+ want it to support others.
+
+**HTTPSProxy** __host__[:__port__]::
+ Tor will make all its OR (SSL) connections through this host:port (or
+ host:443 if port is not specified), via HTTP CONNECT rather than connecting
+ directly to servers. You may want to set **FascistFirewall** to restrict
+ the set of ports you might try to connect to, if your HTTPS proxy only
+ allows connecting to certain ports.
+
+**HTTPSProxyAuthenticator** __username:password__::
+ If defined, Tor will use this username:password for Basic HTTPS proxy
+ authentication, as in RFC 2617. This is currently the only form of HTTPS
+ proxy authentication that Tor supports; feel free to submit a patch if you
+ want it to support others.
+
+**Socks4Proxy** __host__[:__port__]::
+ Tor will make all OR connections through the SOCKS 4 proxy at host:port
+ (or host:1080 if port is not specified).
+
+**Socks5Proxy** __host__[:__port__]::
+ Tor will make all OR connections through the SOCKS 5 proxy at host:port
+ (or host:1080 if port is not specified).
+
+**Socks5ProxyUsername** __username__ +
+
+**Socks5ProxyPassword** __password__::
+ If defined, authenticate to the SOCKS 5 server using username and password
+ in accordance to RFC 1929. Both username and password must be between 1 and
+ 255 characters.
+
+**KeepalivePeriod** __NUM__::
+ To keep firewalls from expiring connections, send a padding keepalive cell
+ every NUM seconds on open connections that are in use. If the connection
+ has no open circuits, it will instead be closed after NUM seconds of
+ idleness. (Default: 5 minutes)
+
+**Log** __minSeverity__[-__maxSeverity__] **stderr**|**stdout**|**syslog**::
+ Send all messages between __minSeverity__ and __maxSeverity__ to the standard
+ output stream, the standard error stream, or to the system log. (The
+ "syslog" value is only supported on Unix.) Recognized severity levels are
+ debug, info, notice, warn, and err. We advise using "notice" in most cases,
+ since anything more verbose may provide sensitive information to an
+ attacker who obtains the logs. If only one severity level is given, all
+ messages of that level or higher will be sent to the listed destination.
+
+**Log** __minSeverity__[-__maxSeverity__] **file** __FILENAME__::
+ As above, but send log messages to the listed filename. The
+ "Log" option may appear more than once in a configuration file.
+ Messages are sent to all the logs that match their severity
+ level.
+
+**OutboundBindAddress** __IP__::
+ Make all outbound connections originate from the IP address specified. This
+ is only useful when you have multiple network interfaces, and you want all
+ of Tor's outgoing connections to use a single one.
+
+**PidFile** __FILE__::
+ On startup, write our PID to FILE. On clean shutdown, remove
+ FILE.
+
+**ProtocolWarnings** **0**|**1**::
+ If 1, Tor will log with severity \'warn' various cases of other parties not
+ following the Tor specification. Otherwise, they are logged with severity
+ \'info'. (Default: 0)
+
+**RunAsDaemon** **0**|**1**::
+ If 1, Tor forks and daemonizes to the background. This option has no effect
+ on Windows; instead you should use the --service command-line option.
+ (Default: 0)
+
+
+**SafeLogging** **0**|**1**|**relay**::
+ Tor can scrub potentially sensitive strings from log messages (e.g.
+ addresses) by replacing them with the string [scrubbed]. This way logs can
+ still be useful, but they don't leave behind personally identifying
+ information about what sites a user might have visited. +
+ +
+ If this option is set to 0, Tor will not perform any scrubbing, if it is
+ set to 1, all potentially sensitive strings are replaced. If it is set to
+ relay, all log messages generated when acting as a relay are sanitized, but
+ all messages generated when acting as a client are not. (Default: 1)
+
+**User** __UID__::
+ On startup, setuid to this user and setgid to their primary group.
+
+**HardwareAccel** **0**|**1**::
+ If non-zero, try to use built-in (static) crypto hardware acceleration when
+ available. (Default: 0)
+
+**AccelName** __NAME__::
+ When using OpenSSL hardware crypto acceleration attempt to load the dynamic
+ engine of this name. This must be used for any dynamic hardware engine.
+ Names can be verified with the openssl engine command.
+
+**AccelDir** __DIR__::
+ Specify this option if using dynamic hardware acceleration and the engine
+ implementation library resides somewhere other than the OpenSSL default.
+
+**AvoidDiskWrites** **0**|**1**::
+ If non-zero, try to write to disk less frequently than we would otherwise.
+ This is useful when running on flash memory or other media that support
+ only a limited number of writes. (Default: 0)
+
+**TunnelDirConns** **0**|**1**::
+ If non-zero, when a directory server we contact supports it, we will build
+ a one-hop circuit and make an encrypted connection via its ORPort.
+ (Default: 1)
+
+**PreferTunneledDirConns** **0**|**1**::
+ If non-zero, we will avoid directory servers that don't support tunneled
+ directory connections, when possible. (Default: 1)
+
+**CircuitPriorityHalflife** **NUM1**::
+ If this value is set, we override the default algorithm for choosing which
+ circuit's cell to deliver or relay next. When the value is 0, we
+ round-robin between the active circuits on a connection, delivering one
+ cell from each in turn. When the value is positive, we prefer delivering
+ cells from whichever connection has the lowest weighted cell count, where
+ cells are weighted exponentially according to the supplied
+ CircuitPriorityHalflife value (in seconds). If this option is not set at
+ all, we use the behavior recommended in the current consensus
+ networkstatus. This is an advanced option; you generally shouldn't have
+ mess with it. (Default: not set.)
+
+CLIENT OPTIONS
+--------------
+
+The following options are useful only for clients (that is, if
+**SocksPort** is non-zero):
+
+**AllowInvalidNodes** **entry**|**exit**|**middle**|**introduction**|**rendezvous**|**...**::
+ If some Tor servers are obviously not working right, the directory
+ authorities can manually mark them as invalid, meaning that it's not
+ recommended you use them for entry or exit positions in your circuits. You
+ can opt to use them in some circuit positions, though. The default is
+ "middle,rendezvous", and other choices are not advised.
+
+**ExcludeSingleHopRelays** **0**|**1**::
+ This option controls whether circuits built by Tor will include relays with
+ the AllowSingleHopExits flag set to true. If ExcludeSingleHopRelays is set
+ to 0, these relays will be included. Note that these relays might be at
+ higher risk of being seized or observed, so they are not normally included.
+ (Default: 1)
+
+**Bridge** __IP__:__ORPort__ [fingerprint]::
+ When set along with UseBridges, instructs Tor to use the relay at
+ "IP:ORPort" as a "bridge" relaying into the Tor network. If "fingerprint"
+ is provided (using the same format as for DirServer), we will verify that
+ the relay running at that location has the right fingerprint. We also use
+ fingerprint to look up the bridge descriptor at the bridge authority, if
+ it's provided and if UpdateBridgesFromAuthority is set too.
+
+**CircuitBuildTimeout** __NUM__::
+ Try for at most NUM seconds when building circuits. If the circuit isn't
+ open in that time, give up on it. (Default: 1 minute.)
+
+**CircuitIdleTimeout** __NUM__::
+ If we have kept a clean (never used) circuit around for NUM seconds, then
+ close it. This way when the Tor client is entirely idle, it can expire all
+ of its circuits, and then expire its TLS connections. Also, if we end up
+ making a circuit that is not useful for exiting any of the requests we're
+ receiving, it won't forever take up a slot in the circuit list. (Default: 1
+ hour.)
+
+**CircuitStreamTimeout** __NUM__::
+ If non-zero, this option overrides our internal timeout schedule for how
+ many seconds until we detach a stream from a circuit and try a new circuit.
+ If your network is particularly slow, you might want to set this to a
+ number like 60. (Default: 0)
+
+**ClientOnly** **0**|**1**::
+ If set to 1, Tor will under no circumstances run as a server or serve
+ directory requests. The default is to run as a client unless ORPort is
+ configured. (Usually, you don't need to set this; Tor is pretty smart at
+ figuring out whether you are reliable and high-bandwidth enough to be a
+ useful server.) (Default: 0)
+
+**ExcludeNodes** __node__,__node__,__...__::
+ A list of identity fingerprints, nicknames, country codes and address
+ patterns of nodes to never use when building a circuit. (Example:
+ ExcludeNodes SlowServer, $ EFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF, \{cc}, 255.254.0.0/8)
+
+**ExcludeExitNodes** __node__,__node__,__...__::
+ A list of identity fingerprints, nicknames, country codes and address
+ patterns of nodes to never use when picking an exit node. Note that any
+ node listed in ExcludeNodes is automatically considered to be part of this
+ list.
+
+**EntryNodes** __node__,__node__,__...__::
+ A list of identity fingerprints, nicknames, country codes and address
+ patterns of nodes to use for the first hop in normal circuits. These are
+ treated only as preferences unless StrictNodes (see below) is also set.
+
+**ExitNodes** __node__,__node__,__...__::
+ A list of identity fingerprints, nicknames, country codes and address
+ patterns of nodes to use for the last hop in normal exit circuits. These
+ are treated only as preferences unless StrictNodes (see below) is also set.
+
+**StrictNodes** **0**|**1**::
+ If 1 and EntryNodes config option is set, Tor will never use any nodes
+ besides those listed in EntryNodes for the first hop of a normal circuit.
+ If 1 and ExitNodes config option is set, Tor will never use any nodes
+ besides those listed in ExitNodes for the last hop of a normal exit
+ circuit. Note that Tor might still use these nodes for non-exit circuits
+ such as one-hop directory fetches or hidden service support circuits.
+
+**FascistFirewall** **0**|**1**::
+ If 1, Tor will only create outgoing connections to ORs running on ports
+ that your firewall allows (defaults to 80 and 443; see **FirewallPorts**).
+ This will allow you to run Tor as a client behind a firewall with
+ restrictive policies, but will not allow you to run as a server behind such
+ a firewall. If you prefer more fine-grained control, use
+ ReachableAddresses instead.
+
+**FirewallPorts** __PORTS__::
+ A list of ports that your firewall allows you to connect to. Only used when
+ **FascistFirewall** is set. This option is deprecated; use ReachableAddresses
+ instead. (Default: 80, 443)
+
+**HidServAuth** __onion-address__ __auth-cookie__ [__service-name__]::
+ Client authorization for a hidden service. Valid onion addresses contain 16
+ characters in a-z2-7 plus ".onion", and valid auth cookies contain 22
+ characters in A-Za-z0-9+/. The service name is only used for internal
+ purposes, e.g., for Tor controllers. This option may be used multiple times
+ for different hidden services. If a hidden service uses authorization and
+ this option is not set, the hidden service is not accessible. Hidden
+ services can be configured to require authorization using the
+ **HiddenServiceAuthorizeClient** option.
+
+**ReachableAddresses** __ADDR__[/__MASK__][:__PORT__]...::
+ A comma-separated list of IP addresses and ports that your firewall allows
+ you to connect to. The format is as for the addresses in ExitPolicy, except
+ that "accept" is understood unless "reject" is explicitly provided. For
+ example, \'ReachableAddresses 99.0.0.0/8, reject 18.0.0.0/8:80, accept
+ \*:80' means that your firewall allows connections to everything inside net
+ 99, rejects port 80 connections to net 18, and accepts connections to port
+ 80 otherwise. (Default: \'accept \*:*'.)
+
+**ReachableDirAddresses** __ADDR__[/__MASK__][:__PORT__]...::
+ Like **ReachableAddresses**, a list of addresses and ports. Tor will obey
+ these restrictions when fetching directory information, using standard HTTP
+ GET requests. If not set explicitly then the value of
+ **ReachableAddresses** is used. If **HTTPProxy** is set then these
+ connections will go through that proxy.
+
+**ReachableORAddresses** __ADDR__[/__MASK__][:__PORT__]...::
+ Like **ReachableAddresses**, a list of addresses and ports. Tor will obey
+ these restrictions when connecting to Onion Routers, using TLS/SSL. If not
+ set explicitly then the value of **ReachableAddresses** is used. If
+ **HTTPSProxy** is set then these connections will go through that proxy. +
+ +
+ The separation between **ReachableORAddresses** and
+ **ReachableDirAddresses** is only interesting when you are connecting
+ through proxies (see **HTTPProxy** and **HTTPSProxy**). Most proxies limit
+ TLS connections (which Tor uses to connect to Onion Routers) to port 443,
+ and some limit HTTP GET requests (which Tor uses for fetching directory
+ information) to port 80.
+
+**LongLivedPorts** __PORTS__::
+ A list of ports for services that tend to have long-running connections
+ (e.g. chat and interactive shells). Circuits for streams that use these
+ ports will contain only high-uptime nodes, to reduce the chance that a node
+ will go down before the stream is finished. (Default: 21, 22, 706, 1863,
+ 5050, 5190, 5222, 5223, 6667, 6697, 8300)
+
+**MapAddress** __address__ __newaddress__::
+ When a request for address arrives to Tor, it will rewrite it to newaddress
+ before processing it. For example, if you always want connections to
+ www.indymedia.org to exit via __torserver__ (where __torserver__ is the
+ nickname of the server), use "MapAddress www.indymedia.org
+ www.indymedia.org.torserver.exit".
+
+**NewCircuitPeriod** __NUM__::
+ Every NUM seconds consider whether to build a new circuit. (Default: 30
+ seconds)
+
+**MaxCircuitDirtiness** __NUM__::
+ Feel free to reuse a circuit that was first used at most NUM seconds ago,
+ but never attach a new stream to a circuit that is too old. (Default: 10
+ minutes)
+
+**NodeFamily** __node__,__node__,__...__::
+ The Tor servers, defined by their identity fingerprints or nicknames,
+ constitute a "family" of similar or co-administered servers, so never use
+ any two of them in the same circuit. Defining a NodeFamily is only needed
+ when a server doesn't list the family itself (with MyFamily). This option
+ can be used multiple times.
+
+**EnforceDistinctSubnets** **0**|**1**::
+ If 1, Tor will not put two servers whose IP addresses are "too close" on
+ the same circuit. Currently, two addresses are "too close" if they lie in
+ the same /16 range. (Default: 1)
+
+**SocksPort** __PORT__::
+ Advertise this port to listen for connections from Socks-speaking
+ applications. Set this to 0 if you don't want to allow application
+ connections. (Default: 9050)
+
+**SocksListenAddress** __IP__[:__PORT__]::
+ Bind to this address to listen for connections from Socks-speaking
+ applications. (Default: 127.0.0.1) You can also specify a port (e.g.
+ 192.168.0.1:9100). This directive can be specified multiple times to bind
+ to multiple addresses/ports.
+
+**SocksPolicy** __policy__,__policy__,__...__::
+ Set an entrance policy for this server, to limit who can connect to the
+ SocksPort and DNSPort ports. The policies have the same form as exit
+ policies below.
+
+**SocksTimeout** __NUM__::
+ Let a socks connection wait NUM seconds handshaking, and NUM seconds
+ unattached waiting for an appropriate circuit, before we fail it. (Default:
+ 2 minutes.)
+
+**TrackHostExits** __host__,__.domain__,__...__::
+ For each value in the comma separated list, Tor will track recent
+ connections to hosts that match this value and attempt to reuse the same
+ exit node for each. If the value is prepended with a \'.\', it is treated as
+ matching an entire domain. If one of the values is just a \'.', it means
+ match everything. This option is useful if you frequently connect to sites
+ that will expire all your authentication cookies (i.e. log you out) if
+ your IP address changes. Note that this option does have the disadvantage
+ of making it more clear that a given history is associated with a single
+ user. However, most people who would wish to observe this will observe it
+ through cookies or other protocol-specific means anyhow.
+
+**TrackHostExitsExpire** __NUM__::
+ Since exit servers go up and down, it is desirable to expire the
+ association between host and exit server after NUM seconds. The default is
+ 1800 seconds (30 minutes).
+
+**UpdateBridgesFromAuthority** **0**|**1**::
+ When set (along with UseBridges), Tor will try to fetch bridge descriptors
+ from the configured bridge authorities when feasible. It will fall back to
+ a direct request if the authority responds with a 404. (Default: 0)
+
+**UseBridges** **0**|**1**::
+ When set, Tor will fetch descriptors for each bridge listed in the "Bridge"
+ config lines, and use these relays as both entry guards and directory
+ guards. (Default: 0)
+
+**UseEntryGuards** **0**|**1**::
+ If this option is set to 1, we pick a few long-term entry servers, and try
+ to stick with them. This is desirable because constantly changing servers
+ increases the odds that an adversary who owns some servers will observe a
+ fraction of your paths. (Defaults to 1.)
+
+**NumEntryGuards** __NUM__::
+ If UseEntryGuards is set to 1, we will try to pick a total of NUM routers
+ as long-term entries for our circuits. (Defaults to 3.)
+
+**SafeSocks** **0**|**1**::
+ When this option is enabled, Tor will reject application connections that
+ use unsafe variants of the socks protocol -- ones that only provide an IP
+ address, meaning the application is doing a DNS resolve first.
+ Specifically, these are socks4 and socks5 when not doing remote DNS.
+ (Defaults to 0.)
+
+**TestSocks** **0**|**1**::
+ When this option is enabled, Tor will make a notice-level log entry for
+ each connection to the Socks port indicating whether the request used a
+ safe socks protocol or an unsafe one (see above entry on SafeSocks). This
+ helps to determine whether an application using Tor is possibly leaking
+ DNS requests. (Default: 0)
+
+**VirtualAddrNetwork** __Address__/__bits__::
+ When a controller asks for a virtual (unused) address with the MAPADDRESS
+ command, Tor picks an unassigned address from this range. (Default:
+ 127.192.0.0/10) +
+ +
+ When providing proxy server service to a network of computers using a tool
+ like dns-proxy-tor, change this address to "10.192.0.0/10" or
+ "172.16.0.0/12". The default **VirtualAddrNetwork** address range on a
+ properly configured machine will route to the loopback interface. For
+ local use, no change to the default VirtualAddrNetwork setting is needed.
+
+**AllowNonRFC953Hostnames** **0**|**1**::
+ When this option is disabled, Tor blocks hostnames containing illegal
+ characters (like @ and :) rather than sending them to an exit node to be
+ resolved. This helps trap accidental attempts to resolve URLs and so on.
+ (Default: 0)
+
+**AllowDotExit** **0**|**1**::
+ If enabled, we convert "www.google.com.foo.exit" addresses on the
+ SocksPort/TransPort/NatdPort into "www.google.com" addresses that exit from
+ the node "foo". Disabled by default since attacking websites and exit
+ relays can use it to manipulate your path selection. (Default: 0)
+
+**FastFirstHopPK** **0**|**1**::
+ When this option is disabled, Tor uses the public key step for the first
+ hop of creating circuits. Skipping it is generally safe since we have
+ already used TLS to authenticate the relay and to establish forward-secure
+ keys. Turning this option off makes circuit building slower. +
+ +
+ Note that Tor will always use the public key step for the first hop if it's
+ operating as a relay, and it will never use the public key step if it
+ doesn't yet know the onion key of the first hop. (Default: 1)
+
+**TransPort** __PORT__::
+ If non-zero, enables transparent proxy support on __PORT__ (by convention,
+ 9040). Requires OS support for transparent proxies, such as BSDs' pf or
+ Linux's IPTables. If you're planning to use Tor as a transparent proxy for
+ a network, you'll want to examine and change VirtualAddrNetwork from the
+ default setting. You'll also want to set the TransListenAddress option for
+ the network you'd like to proxy. (Default: 0).
+
+**TransListenAddress** __IP__[:__PORT__]::
+ Bind to this address to listen for transparent proxy connections. (Default:
+ 127.0.0.1). This is useful for exporting a transparent proxy server to an
+ entire network.
+
+**NATDPort** __PORT__::
+ Allow old versions of ipfw (as included in old versions of FreeBSD, etc.)
+ to send connections through Tor using the NATD protocol. This option is
+ only for people who cannot use TransPort.
+
+**NATDListenAddress** __IP__[:__PORT__]::
+ Bind to this address to listen for NATD connections. (Default: 127.0.0.1).
+
+**AutomapHostsOnResolve** **0**|**1**::
+ When this option is enabled, and we get a request to resolve an address
+ that ends with one of the suffixes in **AutomapHostsSuffixes**, we map an
+ unused virtual address to that address, and return the new virtual address.
+ This is handy for making ".onion" addresses work with applications that
+ resolve an address and then connect to it. (Default: 0).
+
+**AutomapHostsSuffixes** __SUFFIX__,__SUFFIX__,__...__::
+ A comma-separated list of suffixes to use with **AutomapHostsOnResolve**.
+ The "." suffix is equivalent to "all addresses." (Default: .exit,.onion).
+
+**DNSPort** __PORT__::
+ If non-zero, Tor listens for UDP DNS requests on this port and resolves
+ them anonymously. (Default: 0).
+
+**DNSListenAddress** __IP__[:__PORT__]::
+ Bind to this address to listen for DNS connections. (Default: 127.0.0.1).
+
+**ClientDNSRejectInternalAddresses** **0**|**1**::
+ If true, Tor does not believe any anonymously retrieved DNS answer that
+ tells it that an address resolves to an internal address (like 127.0.0.1 or
+ 192.168.0.1). This option prevents certain browser-based attacks; don't
+ turn it off unless you know what you're doing. (Default: 1).
+
+**DownloadExtraInfo** **0**|**1**::
+ If true, Tor downloads and caches "extra-info" documents. These documents
+ contain information about servers other than the information in their
+ regular router descriptors. Tor does not use this information for anything
+ itself; to save bandwidth, leave this option turned off. (Default: 0).
+
+**FallbackNetworkstatusFile** __FILENAME__::
+ If Tor doesn't have a cached networkstatus file, it starts out using this
+ one instead. Even if this file is out of date, Tor can still use it to
+ learn about directory mirrors, so it doesn't need to put load on the
+ authorities. (Default: None).
+
+**WarnPlaintextPorts** __port__,__port__,__...__::
+ Tells Tor to issue a warnings whenever the user tries to make an anonymous
+ connection to one of these ports. This option is designed to alert users
+ to services that risk sending passwords in the clear. (Default:
+ 23,109,110,143).
+
+**RejectPlaintextPorts** __port__,__port__,__...__::
+ Like WarnPlaintextPorts, but instead of warning about risky port uses, Tor
+ will instead refuse to make the connection. (Default: None).
+
+SERVER OPTIONS
+--------------
+
+The following options are useful only for servers (that is, if ORPort
+is non-zero):
+
+**Address** __address__::
+ The IP address or fully qualified domain name of this server (e.g.
+ moria.mit.edu). You can leave this unset, and Tor will guess your IP
+ address.
+
+**AllowSingleHopExits** **0**|**1**::
+ This option controls whether clients can use this server as a single hop
+ proxy. If set to 1, clients can use this server as an exit even if it is
+ the only hop in the circuit. (Default: 0)
+
+**AssumeReachable** **0**|**1**::
+ This option is used when bootstrapping a new Tor network. If set to 1,
+ don't do self-reachability testing; just upload your server descriptor
+ immediately. If **AuthoritativeDirectory** is also set, this option
+ instructs the dirserver to bypass remote reachability testing too and list
+ all connected servers as running.
+
+**BridgeRelay** **0**|**1**::
+ Sets the relay to act as a "bridge" with respect to relaying connections
+ from bridge users to the Tor network. Mainly it influences how the relay
+ will cache and serve directory information. Usually used in combination
+ with PublishServerDescriptor.
+
+**ContactInfo** __email_address__::
+ Administrative contact information for server. This line might get picked
+ up by spam harvesters, so you may want to obscure the fact that it's an
+ email address.
+
+**ExitPolicy** __policy__,__policy__,__...__::
+ Set an exit policy for this server. Each policy is of the form
+ "**accept**|**reject** __ADDR__[/__MASK__][:__PORT__]". If /__MASK__ is
+ omitted then this policy just applies to the host given. Instead of giving
+ a host or network you can also use "\*" to denote the universe (0.0.0.0/0).
+ __PORT__ can be a single port number, an interval of ports
+ "__FROM_PORT__-__TO_PORT__", or "\*". If __PORT__ is omitted, that means
+ "\*". +
+ +
+ For example, "accept 18.7.22.69:\*,reject 18.0.0.0/8:\*,accept \*:\*" would
+ reject any traffic destined for MIT except for web.mit.edu, and accept
+ anything else. +
+ +
+ To specify all internal and link-local networks (including 0.0.0.0/8,
+ 169.254.0.0/16, 127.0.0.0/8, 192.168.0.0/16, 10.0.0.0/8, and
+ 172.16.0.0/12), you can use the "private" alias instead of an address.
+ These addresses are rejected by default (at the beginning of your exit
+ policy), along with your public IP address, unless you set the
+ ExitPolicyRejectPrivate config option to 0. For example, once you've done
+ that, you could allow HTTP to 127.0.0.1 and block all other connections to
+ internal networks with "accept 127.0.0.1:80,reject private:\*", though that
+ may also allow connections to your own computer that are addressed to its
+ public (external) IP address. See RFC 1918 and RFC 3330 for more details
+ about internal and reserved IP address space. +
+ +
+ This directive can be specified multiple times so you don't have to put it
+ all on one line. +
+ +
+ Policies are considered first to last, and the first match wins. If you
+ want to \_replace_ the default exit policy, end your exit policy with
+ either a reject \*:* or an accept \*:*. Otherwise, you're \_augmenting_
+ (prepending to) the default exit policy. The default exit policy is: +
+
+ reject *:25
+ reject *:119
+ reject *:135-139
+ reject *:445
+ reject *:563
+ reject *:1214
+ reject *:4661-4666
+ reject *:6346-6429
+ reject *:6699
+ reject *:6881-6999
+ accept *:*
+
+**ExitPolicyRejectPrivate** **0**|**1**::
+ Reject all private (local) networks, along with your own public IP address,
+ at the beginning of your exit policy. See above entry on ExitPolicy.
+ (Default: 1)
+
+**MaxOnionsPending** __NUM__::
+ If you have more than this number of onionskins queued for decrypt, reject
+ new ones. (Default: 100)
+
+**MyFamily** __node__,__node__,__...__::
+ Declare that this Tor server is controlled or administered by a group or
+ organization identical or similar to that of the other servers, defined by
+ their identity fingerprints or nicknames. When two servers both declare
+ that they are in the same \'family', Tor clients will not use them in the
+ same circuit. (Each server only needs to list the other servers in its
+ family; it doesn't need to list itself, but it won't hurt.)
+
+**Nickname** __name__::
+ Set the server's nickname to \'name'. Nicknames must be between 1 and 19
+ characters inclusive, and must contain only the characters [a-zA-Z0-9].
+
+**NumCPUs** __num__::
+ How many processes to use at once for decrypting onionskins. (Default: 1)
+
+**ORPort** __PORT__::
+ Advertise this port to listen for connections from Tor clients and servers.
+
+**ORListenAddress** __IP__[:__PORT__]::
+ Bind to this IP address to listen for connections from Tor clients and
+ servers. If you specify a port, bind to this port rather than the one
+ specified in ORPort. (Default: 0.0.0.0) This directive can be specified
+ multiple times to bind to multiple addresses/ports.
+
+**PublishServerDescriptor** **0**|**1**|**v1**|**v2**|**v3**|**bridge**|**hidserv**,**...**::
+ This option is only considered if you have an ORPort defined. You can
+ choose multiple arguments, separated by commas.
+ +
+ If set to 0, Tor will act as a server but it will not publish its
+ descriptor to the directory authorities. (This is useful if you're testing
+ out your server, or if you're using a Tor controller that handles directory
+ publishing for you.) Otherwise, Tor will publish its descriptor to all
+ directory authorities of the type(s) specified. The value "1" is the
+ default, which means "publish to the appropriate authorities".
+
+**ShutdownWaitLength** __NUM__::
+ When we get a SIGINT and we're a server, we begin shutting down:
+ we close listeners and start refusing new circuits. After **NUM**
+ seconds, we exit. If we get a second SIGINT, we exit immedi-
+ ately. (Default: 30 seconds)
+
+
+**AccountingMax** __N__ **bytes**|**KB**|**MB**|**GB**|**TB**::
+ Never send more than the specified number of bytes in a given accounting
+ period, or receive more than that number in the period. For example, with
+ AccountingMax set to 1 GB, a server could send 900 MB and receive 800 MB
+ and continue running. It will only hibernate once one of the two reaches 1
+ GB. When the number of bytes is exhausted, Tor will hibernate until some
+ time in the next accounting period. To prevent all servers from waking at
+ the same time, Tor will also wait until a random point in each period
+ before waking up. If you have bandwidth cost issues, enabling hibernation
+ is preferable to setting a low bandwidth, since it provides users with a
+ collection of fast servers that are up some of the time, which is more
+ useful than a set of slow servers that are always "available".
+
+**AccountingStart** **day**|**week**|**month** [__day__] __HH:MM__::
+ Specify how long accounting periods last. If **month** is given, each
+ accounting period runs from the time __HH:MM__ on the __dayth__ day of one
+ month to the same day and time of the next. (The day must be between 1 and
+ 28.) If **week** is given, each accounting period runs from the time __HH:MM__
+ of the __dayth__ day of one week to the same day and time of the next week,
+ with Monday as day 1 and Sunday as day 7. If **day** is given, each
+ accounting period runs from the time __HH:MM__ each day to the same time on
+ the next day. All times are local, and given in 24-hour time. (Defaults to
+ "month 1 0:00".)
+
+**ServerDNSResolvConfFile** __filename__::
+ Overrides the default DNS configuration with the configuration in
+ __filename__. The file format is the same as the standard Unix
+ "**resolv.conf**" file (7). This option, like all other ServerDNS options,
+ only affects name lookups that your server does on behalf of clients.
+ (Defaults to use the system DNS configuration.)
+
+**ServerDNSAllowBrokenConfig** **0**|**1**::
+ If this option is false, Tor exits immediately if there are problems
+ parsing the system DNS configuration or connecting to nameservers.
+ Otherwise, Tor continues to periodically retry the system nameservers until
+ it eventually succeeds. (Defaults to "1".)
+
+**ServerDNSSearchDomains** **0**|**1**::
+ If set to 1, then we will search for addresses in the local search domain.
+ For example, if this system is configured to believe it is in
+ "example.com", and a client tries to connect to "www", the client will be
+ connected to "www.example.com". This option only affects name lookups that
+ your server does on behalf of clients. (Defaults to "0".)
+
+**ServerDNSDetectHijacking** **0**|**1**::
+ When this option is set to 1, we will test periodically to determine
+ whether our local nameservers have been configured to hijack failing DNS
+ requests (usually to an advertising site). If they are, we will attempt to
+ correct this. This option only affects name lookups that your server does
+ on behalf of clients. (Defaults to "1".)
+
+**ServerDNSTestAddresses** __address__,__address__,__...__::
+ When we're detecting DNS hijacking, make sure that these __valid__ addresses
+ aren't getting redirected. If they are, then our DNS is completely useless,
+ and we'll reset our exit policy to "reject *:*". This option only affects
+ name lookups that your server does on behalf of clients. (Defaults to
+ "www.google.com, www.mit.edu, www.yahoo.com, www.slashdot.org".)
+
+**ServerDNSAllowNonRFC953Hostnames** **0**|**1**::
+ When this option is disabled, Tor does not try to resolve hostnames
+ containing illegal characters (like @ and :) rather than sending them to an
+ exit node to be resolved. This helps trap accidental attempts to resolve
+ URLs and so on. This option only affects name lookups that your server does
+ on behalf of clients. (Default: 0)
+
+**BridgeRecordUsageByCountry** **0**|**1**::
+ When this option is enabled and BridgeRelay is also enabled, and we have
+ GeoIP data, Tor keeps a keep a per-country count of how many client
+ addresses have contacted it so that it can help the bridge authority guess
+ which countries have blocked access to it. (Default: 1)
+
+**ServerDNSRandomizeCase** **0**|**1**::
+ When this option is set, Tor sets the case of each character randomly in
+ outgoing DNS requests, and makes sure that the case matches in DNS replies.
+ This so-called "0x20 hack" helps resist some types of DNS poisoning attack.
+ For more information, see "Increased DNS Forgery Resistance through
+ 0x20-Bit Encoding". This option only affects name lookups that your server
+ does on behalf of clients. (Default: 1)
+
+**GeoIPFile** __filename__::
+ A filename containing GeoIP data, for use with BridgeRecordUsageByCountry.
+
+**CellStatistics** **0**|**1**::
+ When this option is enabled, Tor writes statistics on the mean time that
+ cells spend in circuit queues to disk every 24 hours. Cannot be changed
+ while Tor is running. (Default: 0)
+
+**DirReqStatistics** **0**|**1**::
+ When this option is enabled, Tor writes statistics on the number and
+ response time of network status requests to disk every 24 hours. Cannot be
+ changed while Tor is running. (Default: 0)
+
+**EntryStatistics** **0**|**1**::
+ When this option is enabled, Tor writes statistics on the number of
+ directly connecting clients to disk every 24 hours. Cannot be changed while
+ Tor is running. (Default: 0)
+
+**ExitPortStatistics** **0**|**1**::
+ When this option is enabled, Tor writes statistics on the number of relayed
+ bytes and opened stream per exit port to disk every 24 hours. Cannot be
+ changed while Tor is running. (Default: 0)
+
+**ExtraInfoStatistics** **0**|**1**::
+ When this option is enabled, Tor includes previously gathered statistics in
+ its extra-info documents that it uploads to the directory authorities.
+ (Default: 0)
+
+DIRECTORY SERVER OPTIONS
+------------------------
+
+The following options are useful only for directory servers (that is,
+if DirPort is non-zero):
+
+**AuthoritativeDirectory** **0**|**1**::
+ When this option is set to 1, Tor operates as an authoritative directory
+ server. Instead of caching the directory, it generates its own list of
+ good servers, signs it, and sends that to the clients. Unless the clients
+ already have you listed as a trusted directory, you probably do not want
+ to set this option. Please coordinate with the other admins at
+ tor-ops at freehaven.net if you think you should be a directory.
+
+**DirPortFrontPage** __FILENAME__::
+ When this option is set, it takes an HTML file and publishes it as "/" on
+ the DirPort. Now relay operators can provide a disclaimer without needing
+ to set up a separate webserver. There's a sample disclaimer in
+ contrib/tor-exit-notice.html.
+
+**V1AuthoritativeDirectory** **0**|**1**::
+ When this option is set in addition to **AuthoritativeDirectory**, Tor
+ generates version 1 directory and running-routers documents (for legacy
+ Tor clients up to 0.1.0.x).
+
+**V2AuthoritativeDirectory** **0**|**1**::
+ When this option is set in addition to **AuthoritativeDirectory**, Tor
+ generates version 2 network statuses and serves descriptors, etc as
+ described in doc/spec/dir-spec-v2.txt (for Tor clients and servers running
+ 0.1.1.x and 0.1.2.x).
+
+**V3AuthoritativeDirectory** **0**|**1**::
+ When this option is set in addition to **AuthoritativeDirectory**, Tor
+ generates version 3 network statuses and serves descriptors, etc as
+ described in doc/spec/dir-spec.txt (for Tor clients and servers running at
+ least 0.2.0.x).
+
+**VersioningAuthoritativeDirectory** **0**|**1**::
+ When this option is set to 1, Tor adds information on which versions of
+ Tor are still believed safe for use to the published directory. Each
+ version 1 authority is automatically a versioning authority; version 2
+ authorities provide this service optionally. See **RecommendedVersions**,
+ **RecommendedClientVersions**, and **RecommendedServerVersions**.
+
+**NamingAuthoritativeDirectory** **0**|**1**::
+ When this option is set to 1, then the server advertises that it has
+ opinions about nickname-to-fingerprint bindings. It will include these
+ opinions in its published network-status pages, by listing servers with
+ the flag "Named" if a correct binding between that nickname and fingerprint
+ has been registered with the dirserver. Naming dirservers will refuse to
+ accept or publish descriptors that contradict a registered binding. See
+ **approved-routers** in the **FILES** section below.
+
+**HSAuthoritativeDir** **0**|**1**::
+ When this option is set in addition to **AuthoritativeDirectory**, Tor also
+ accepts and serves hidden service descriptors. (Default: 0)
+
+**HidServDirectoryV2** **0**|**1**::
+ When this option is set, Tor accepts and serves v2 hidden service
+ descriptors. Setting DirPort is not required for this, because clients
+ connect via the ORPort by default. (Default: 1)
+
+**BridgeAuthoritativeDir** **0**|**1**::
+ When this option is set in addition to **AuthoritativeDirectory**, Tor
+ accepts and serves router descriptors, but it caches and serves the main
+ networkstatus documents rather than generating its own. (Default: 0)
+
+**MinUptimeHidServDirectoryV2** __N__ **seconds**|**minutes**|**hours**|**days**|**weeks**::
+ Minimum uptime of a v2 hidden service directory to be accepted as such by
+ authoritative directories. (Default: 24 hours)
+
+**DirPort** __PORT__::
+ Advertise the directory service on this port.
+
+**DirListenAddress** __IP__[:__PORT__]::
+ Bind the directory service to this address. If you specify a port, bind to
+ this port rather than the one specified in DirPort. (Default: 0.0.0.0)
+ This directive can be specified multiple times to bind to multiple
+ addresses/ports.
+
+**DirPolicy** __policy__,__policy__,__...__::
+ Set an entrance policy for this server, to limit who can connect to the
+ directory ports. The policies have the same form as exit policies above.
+
+DIRECTORY AUTHORITY SERVER OPTIONS
+----------------------------------
+
+**RecommendedVersions** __STRING__::
+ STRING is a comma-separated list of Tor versions currently believed to be
+ safe. The list is included in each directory, and nodes which pull down the
+ directory learn whether they need to upgrade. This option can appear
+ multiple times: the values from multiple lines are spliced together. When
+ this is set then **VersioningAuthoritativeDirectory** should be set too.
+
+**RecommendedClientVersions** __STRING__::
+ STRING is a comma-separated list of Tor versions currently believed to be
+ safe for clients to use. This information is included in version 2
+ directories. If this is not set then the value of **RecommendedVersions**
+ is used. When this is set then **VersioningAuthoritativeDirectory** should
+ be set too.
+
+**RecommendedServerVersions** __STRING__::
+ STRING is a comma-separated list of Tor versions currently believed to be
+ safe for servers to use. This information is included in version 2
+ directories. If this is not set then the value of **RecommendedVersions**
+ is used. When this is set then **VersioningAuthoritativeDirectory** should
+ be set too.
+
+**ConsensusParams** __STRING__::
+ STRING is a space-separated list of key=value pairs that Tor will include
+ in the "params" line of its networkstatus vote.
+
+**DirAllowPrivateAddresses** **0**|**1**::
+ If set to 1, Tor will accept router descriptors with arbitrary "Address"
+ elements. Otherwise, if the address is not an IP address or is a private IP
+ address, it will reject the router descriptor. Defaults to 0.
+
+**AuthDirBadDir** __AddressPattern...__::
+ Authoritative directories only. A set of address patterns for servers that
+ will be listed as bad directories in any network status document this
+ authority publishes, if **AuthDirListBadDirs** is set.
+
+**AuthDirBadExit** __AddressPattern...__::
+ Authoritative directories only. A set of address patterns for servers that
+ will be listed as bad exits in any network status document this authority
+ publishes, if **AuthDirListBadExits** is set.
+
+**AuthDirInvalid** __AddressPattern...__::
+ Authoritative directories only. A set of address patterns for servers that
+ will never be listed as "valid" in any network status document that this
+ authority publishes.
+
+**AuthDirReject** __AddressPattern__...::
+ Authoritative directories only. A set of address patterns for servers that
+ will never be listed at all in any network status document that this
+ authority publishes, or accepted as an OR address in any descriptor
+ submitted for publication by this authority.
+
+**AuthDirListBadDirs** **0**|**1**::
+ Authoritative directories only. If set to 1, this directory has some
+ opinion about which nodes are unsuitable as directory caches. (Do not set
+ this to 1 unless you plan to list non-functioning directories as bad;
+ otherwise, you are effectively voting in favor of every declared
+ directory.)
+
+**AuthDirListBadExits** **0**|**1**::
+ Authoritative directories only. If set to 1, this directory has some
+ opinion about which nodes are unsuitable as exit nodes. (Do not set this to
+ 1 unless you plan to list non-functioning exits as bad; otherwise, you are
+ effectively voting in favor of every declared exit as an exit.)
+
+**AuthDirRejectUnlisted** **0**|**1**::
+ Authoritative directories only. If set to 1, the directory server rejects
+ all uploaded server descriptors that aren't explicitly listed in the
+ fingerprints file. This acts as a "panic button" if we get hit with a Sybil
+ attack. (Default: 0)
+
+**AuthDirMaxServersPerAddr** __NUM__::
+ Authoritative directories only. The maximum number of servers that we will
+ list as acceptable on a single IP address. Set this to "0" for "no limit".
+ (Default: 2)
+
+**AuthDirMaxServersPerAuthAddr** __NUM__::
+ Authoritative directories only. Like AuthDirMaxServersPerAddr, but applies
+ to addresses shared with directory authorities. (Default: 5)
+
+**V3AuthVotingInterval** __N__ **minutes**|**hours**::
+ V3 authoritative directories only. Configures the server's preferred voting
+ interval. Note that voting will __actually__ happen at an interval chosen
+ by consensus from all the authorities' preferred intervals. This time
+ SHOULD divide evenly into a day. (Default: 1 hour)
+
+**V3AuthVoteDelay** __N__ **minutes**|**hours**::
+ V3 authoritative directories only. Configures the server's preferred delay
+ between publishing its vote and assuming it has all the votes from all the
+ other authorities. Note that the actual time used is not the server's
+ preferred time, but the consensus of all preferences. (Default: 5 minutes.)
+
+**V3AuthDistDelay** __N__ **minutes**|**hours**::
+ V3 authoritative directories only. Configures the server's preferred delay
+ between publishing its consensus and signature and assuming it has all the
+ signatures from all the other authorities. Note that the actual time used
+ is not the server's preferred time, but the consensus of all preferences.
+ (Default: 5 minutes.)
+
+**V3AuthNIntervalsValid** __NUM__::
+ V3 authoritative directories only. Configures the number of VotingIntervals
+ for which each consensus should be valid for. Choosing high numbers
+ increases network partitioning risks; choosing low numbers increases
+ directory traffic. Note that the actual number of intervals used is not the
+ server's preferred number, but the consensus of all preferences. Must be at
+ least 2. (Default: 3.)
+
+HIDDEN SERVICE OPTIONS
+----------------------
+
+The following options are used to configure a hidden service.
+
+**HiddenServiceDir** __DIRECTORY__::
+ Store data files for a hidden service in DIRECTORY. Every hidden service
+ must have a separate directory. You may use this option multiple times to
+ specify multiple services.
+
+**HiddenServicePort** __VIRTPORT__ [__TARGET__]::
+ Configure a virtual port VIRTPORT for a hidden service. You may use this
+ option multiple times; each time applies to the service using the most
+ recent hiddenservicedir. By default, this option maps the virtual port to
+ the same port on 127.0.0.1. You may override the target port, address, or
+ both by specifying a target of addr, port, or addr:port. You may also have
+ multiple lines with the same VIRTPORT: when a user connects to that
+ VIRTPORT, one of the TARGETs from those lines will be chosen at random.
+
+**PublishHidServDescriptors** **0**|**1**::
+ If set to 0, Tor will run any hidden services you configure, but it won't
+ advertise them to the rendezvous directory. This option is only useful if
+ you're using a Tor controller that handles hidserv publishing for you.
+ (Default: 1)
+
+**HiddenServiceVersion** __version__,__version__,__...__::
+ A list of rendezvous service descriptor versions to publish for the hidden
+ service. Currently, only version 2 is supported. (Default: 2)
+
+**HiddenServiceAuthorizeClient** __auth-type__ __client-name__,__client-name__,__...__::
+ If configured, the hidden service is accessible for authorized clients
+ only. The auth-type can either be \'basic' for a general-purpose
+ authorization protocol or \'stealth' for a less scalable protocol that also
+ hides service activity from unauthorized clients. Only clients that are
+ listed here are authorized to access the hidden service. Valid client names
+ are 1 to 19 characters long and only use characters in A-Za-z0-9+-_ (no
+ spaces). If this option is set, the hidden service is not accessible for
+ clients without authorization any more. Generated authorization data can be
+ found in the hostname file. Clients need to put this authorization data in
+ their configuration file using **HidServAuth**.
+
+**RendPostPeriod** __N__ **seconds**|**minutes**|**hours**|**days**|**weeks**::
+ Every time the specified period elapses, Tor uploads any rendezvous
+ service descriptors to the directory servers. This information is also
+ uploaded whenever it changes. (Default: 20 minutes)
+
+TESTING NETWORK OPTIONS
+-----------------------
+
+The following options are used for running a testing Tor network.
+
+**TestingTorNetwork** **0**|**1**::
+ If set to 1, Tor adjusts default values of the configuration options below,
+ so that it is easier to set up a testing Tor network. May only be set if
+ non-default set of DirServers is set. Cannot be unset while Tor is running.
+ (Default: 0) +
+
+ ServerDNSAllowBrokenConfig 1
+ DirAllowPrivateAddresses 1
+ EnforceDistinctSubnets 0
+ AssumeReachable 1
+ AuthDirMaxServersPerAddr 0
+ AuthDirMaxServersPerAuthAddr 0
+ ClientDNSRejectInternalAddresses 0
+ ExitPolicyRejectPrivate 0
+ V3AuthVotingInterval 5 minutes
+ V3AuthVoteDelay 20 seconds
+ V3AuthDistDelay 20 seconds
+ TestingV3AuthInitialVotingInterval 5 minutes
+ TestingV3AuthInitialVoteDelay 20 seconds
+ TestingV3AuthInitialDistDelay 20 seconds
+ TestingAuthDirTimeToLearnReachability 0 minutes
+ TestingEstimatedDescriptorPropagationTime 0 minutes
+
+**TestingV3AuthInitialVotingInterval** __N__ **minutes**|**hours**::
+ Like V3AuthVotingInterval, but for initial voting interval before the first
+ consensus has been created. Changing this requires that
+ **TestingTorNetwork** is set. (Default: 30 minutes)
+
+**TestingV3AuthInitialVoteDelay** __N__ **minutes**|**hours**::
+ Like TestingV3AuthInitialVoteDelay, but for initial voting interval before
+ the first consensus has been created. Changing this requires that
+ **TestingTorNetwork** is set. (Default: 5 minutes)
+
+**TestingV3AuthInitialDistDelay** __N__ **minutes**|**hours**::
+ Like TestingV3AuthInitialDistDelay, but for initial voting interval before
+ the first consensus has been created. Changing this requires that
+ **TestingTorNetwork** is set. (Default: 5 minutes)
+
+**TestingAuthDirTimeToLearnReachability** __N__ **minutes**|**hours**::
+ After starting as an authority, do not make claims about whether routers
+ are Running until this much time has passed. Changing this requires
+ that **TestingTorNetwork** is set. (Default: 30 minutes)
+
+**TestingEstimatedDescriptorPropagationTime** __N__ **minutes**|**hours**::
+ Clients try downloading router descriptors from directory caches after this
+ time. Changing this requires that **TestingTorNetwork** is set. (Default:
+ 10 minutes)
+
+SIGNALS
+-------
+
+Tor catches the following signals:
+
+**SIGTERM**::
+ Tor will catch this, clean up and sync to disk if necessary, and exit.
+
+**SIGINT**::
+ Tor clients behave as with SIGTERM; but Tor servers will do a controlled
+ slow shutdown, closing listeners and waiting 30 seconds before exiting.
+ (The delay can be configured with the ShutdownWaitLength config option.)
+
+**SIGHUP**::
+ The signal instructs Tor to reload its configuration (including closing and
+ reopening logs), fetch a new directory, and kill and restart its helper
+ processes if applicable.
+
+**SIGUSR1**::
+ Log statistics about current connections, past connections, and throughput.
+
+**SIGUSR2**::
+ Switch all logs to loglevel debug. You can go back to the old loglevels by
+ sending a SIGHUP.
+
+**SIGCHLD**::
+ Tor receives this signal when one of its helper processes has exited, so it
+ can clean up.
+
+**SIGPIPE**::
+ Tor catches this signal and ignores it.
+
+**SIGXFSZ**::
+ If this signal exists on your platform, Tor catches and ignores it.
+
+FILES
+-----
+
+**@CONFDIR@/torrc**::
+ The configuration file, which contains "option value" pairs.
+
+**@LOCALSTATEDIR@/lib/tor/**::
+ The tor process stores keys and other data here.
+
+__DataDirectory__**/cached-status/**::
+ The most recently downloaded network status document for each authority.
+ Each file holds one such document; the filenames are the hexadecimal
+ identity key fingerprints of the directory authorities.
+
+__DataDirectory__**/cached-descriptors** and **cached-descriptors.new**::
+ These files hold downloaded router statuses. Some routers may appear more
+ than once; if so, the most recently published descriptor is used. Lines
+ beginning with @-signs are annotations that contain more information about
+ a given router. The ".new" file is an append-only journal; when it gets
+ too large, all entries are merged into a new cached-descriptors file.
+
+__DataDirectory__**/cached-routers** and **cached-routers.new**::
+ Obsolete versions of cached-descriptors and cached-descriptors.new. When
+ Tor can't find the newer files, it looks here instead.
+
+__DataDirectory__**/state**::
+ A set of persistent key-value mappings. These are documented in
+ the file. These include:
+ - The current entry guards and their status.
+ - The current bandwidth accounting values (unused so far; see
+ below).
+ - When the file was last written
+ - What version of Tor generated the state file
+ - A short history of bandwidth usage, as produced in the router
+ descriptors.
+
+__DataDirectory__**/bw_accounting**::
+ Used to track bandwidth accounting values (when the current period starts
+ and ends; how much has been read and written so far this period). This file
+ is obsolete, and the data is now stored in the \'state' file as well. Only
+ used when bandwidth accounting is enabled.
+
+__DataDirectory__**/hsusage**::
+ Used to track hidden service usage in terms of fetch and publish requests
+ to this hidden service authoritative directory. Only used when recording of
+ statistics is enabled.
+
+__DataDirectory__**/control_auth_cookie**::
+ Used for cookie authentication with the controller. Location can be
+ overridden by the CookieAuthFile config option. Regenerated on startup. See
+ control-spec.txt for details. Only used when cookie authentication is
+ enabled.
+
+__DataDirectory__**/keys/***::
+ Only used by servers. Holds identity keys and onion keys.
+
+__DataDirectory__**/fingerprint**::
+ Only used by servers. Holds the fingerprint of the server's identity key.
+
+__DataDirectory__**/approved-routers**::
+ Only for naming authoritative directory servers (see
+ **NamingAuthoritativeDirectory**). This file lists nickname to identity
+ bindings. Each line lists a nickname and a fingerprint separated by
+ whitespace. See your **fingerprint** file in the __DataDirectory__ for an
+ example line. If the nickname is **!reject** then descriptors from the
+ given identity (fingerprint) are rejected by this server. If it is
+ **!invalid** then descriptors are accepted but marked in the directory as
+ not valid, that is, not recommended.
+
+__DataDirectory__**/router-stability**::
+ Only used by authoritative directory servers. Tracks measurements for
+ router mean-time-between-failures so that authorities have a good idea of
+ how to set their Stable flags.
+
+__HiddenServiceDirectory__**/hostname**::
+ The <base32-encoded-fingerprint>.onion domain name for this hidden service.
+ If the hidden service is restricted to authorized clients only, this file
+ also contains authorization data for all clients.
+
+__HiddenServiceDirectory__**/private_key**::
+ The private key for this hidden service.
+
+__HiddenServiceDirectory__**/client_keys**::
+ Authorization data for a hidden service that is only accessible by
+ authorized clients.
