4. Privacy recommendations
---------------------------
- Do not add anything but bitcoin ports to the hidden service created in section 2.
If you run a web service too, create a new hidden service for that.
Otherwise it is trivial to link them, which may reduce privacy. Hidden
services created automatically (as in section 3) always have only one port
open.
