TOR SUPPORT IN DASH
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
It is possible to run Dash as a Tor hidden service, and connect to such services.
|
|
|
|
The following directions assume you have a Tor proxy running on port 9050. Many
|
|
distributions default to having a SOCKS proxy listening on port 9050, but others
|
|
may not. In particular, the Tor Browser Bundle defaults to listening on a random
|
|
port. See [Tor Project FAQ:TBBSocksPort](https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#TBBSocksPort)
|
|
for how to properly configure Tor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Run dash behind a Tor proxy
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The first step is running Dash behind a Tor proxy. This will already make all
|
|
outgoing connections be anonymized, but more is possible.
|
|
|
|
-socks=5 SOCKS5 supports connecting-to-hostname, which can be used instead
|
|
of doing a (leaking) local DNS lookup. SOCKS5 is the default,
|
|
but SOCKS4 does not support this. (SOCKS4a does, but isn't
|
|
implemented).
|
|
|
|
-proxy=ip:port Set the proxy server. If SOCKS5 is selected (default), this proxy
|
|
server will be used to try to reach .onion addresses as well.
|
|
|
|
-onion=ip:port Set the proxy server to use for tor hidden services. You do not
|
|
need to set this if it's the same as -proxy. You can use -noonion
|
|
to explicitly disable access to hidden service.
|
|
|
|
-listen When using -proxy, listening is disabled by default. If you want
|
|
to run a hidden service (see next section), you'll need to enable
|
|
it explicitly.
|
|
|
|
-connect=X When behind a Tor proxy, you can specify .onion addresses instead
|
|
-addnode=X of IP addresses or hostnames in these parameters. It requires
|
|
-seednode=X SOCKS5. In Tor mode, such addresses can also be exchanged with
|
|
other P2P nodes.
|
|
|
|
-onlynet=tor Only connect to .onion nodes and drop IPv4/6 connections.
|
|
|
|
An example how to start the client if the Tor proxy is running on local host on
|
|
port 9050 and only allows .onion nodes to connect:
|
|
|
|
./dashd -onion=127.0.0.1:9050 -onlynet=tor -listen=0 -addnode=ssapp53tmftyjmjb.onion
|
|
|
|
In a typical situation, this suffices to run behind a Tor proxy:
|
|
|
|
./dashd -proxy=127.0.0.1:9050
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Run a dash hidden server
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
If you configure your Tor system accordingly, it is possible to make your node also
|
|
reachable from the Tor network. Add these lines to your /etc/tor/torrc (or equivalent
|
|
config file):
|
|
|
|
HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/dash-service/
|
|
HiddenServicePort 9999 127.0.0.1:9999
|
|
HiddenServicePort 19999 127.0.0.1:19999
|
|
|
|
The directory can be different of course, but (both) port numbers should be equal to
|
|
your dashd's P2P listen port (9999 by default).
|
|
|
|
-externalip=X You can tell dash about its publicly reachable address using
|
|
this option, and this can be a .onion address. Given the above
|
|
configuration, you can find your onion address in
|
|
/var/lib/tor/dash-service/hostname. Onion addresses are given
|
|
preference for your node to advertize itself with, for connections
|
|
coming from unroutable addresses (such as 127.0.0.1, where the
|
|
Tor proxy typically runs).
|
|
|
|
-listen You'll need to enable listening for incoming connections, as this
|
|
is off by default behind a proxy.
|
|
|
|
-discover When -externalip is specified, no attempt is made to discover local
|
|
IPv4 or IPv6 addresses. If you want to run a dual stack, reachable
|
|
from both Tor and IPv4 (or IPv6), you'll need to either pass your
|
|
other addresses using -externalip, or explicitly enable -discover.
|
|
Note that both addresses of a dual-stack system may be easily
|
|
linkable using traffic analysis.
|
|
|
|
In a typical situation, where you're only reachable via Tor, this should suffice:
|
|
|
|
./dashd -proxy=127.0.0.1:9050 -externalip=ssapp53tmftyjmjb.onion -listen
|
|
|
|
(obviously, replace the Onion address with your own). If you don't care too much
|
|
about hiding your node, and want to be reachable on IPv4 as well, additionally
|
|
specify:
|
|
|
|
./dashd ... -discover
|
|
|
|
and open port 9999 on your firewall (or use -upnp).
|
|
|
|
If you only want to use Tor to reach onion addresses, but not use it as a proxy
|
|
for normal IPv4/IPv6 communication, use:
|
|
|
|
./dashd -onion=127.0.0.1:9050 -externalip=ssapp53tmftyjmjb.onion -discover
|
|
|
|
|
