Hyper-onion-ization

This file is my curated list of all things Tor. It all assumes:

• Tor is installed
• running in background, and
• listening on 127.0.0.1:9050.

Popular and on Tor

Table below contains a list of .onion addresses for some more popular clearnet services.

Bitcoin Git Repos

Thanks to @laanwj, Bitcoin and some orbiting repos (lnd, c-lightning, eclair, Bitcoin meta stuff) are mirrored as a Tor hidden service at:

http://nxshomzlgqmwfwhcnyvbznyrybh3gotlfgis7wkv7iur2yj2rarlhiad.onion

While all necessary instructions are on the website above, here's the tl;dr:

Fresh clone of Bitcoin

git -c http.proxy=socks5h://127.0.0.1:9050 clone http://nxshomzlgqmwfwhcnyvbznyrybh3gotlfgis7wkv7iur2yj2rarlhiad.onion/git/bitcoin.git
cd bitcoin
git config --add remote.origin.proxy "socks5h://127.0.0.1:9050"

Change origin of lnd to Tor

cd lnd
git remote set-url master http://nxshomzlgqmwfwhcnyvbznyrybh3gotlfgis7wkv7iur2yj2rarlhiad.onion/git/lnd.git
git config --add remote.master.proxy "socks5h://127.0.0.1:9050"
git remote add github git@github.com:lightningnetwork/lnd.git

GnuGPG

To use hkps://keys.openpgp.org through a hidden service, to ~/.gnupg/gpg.cong file add the following line:

keyserver hkp://zkaan2xfbuxia2wpf7ofnkbz6r5zdbbvxbunvp5g2iebopbfc4iqmbad.onion

If you already have a keyserver … line there, replace it.

Onion source. Should work on MacOS & Linux alike.

Keybase

Keybase talks about their usage of Tor in more detail on this page, but here's a tl;dr:

CLI

Tor hidden address is used by the CLI internally by default.

Enabling CLI's communication with non-keybase services via Tor can be done with either:

keybase config set tor.mode leaky
keybase config set tor.mode strict

Note: both modes are fairly broken as of 2019-08-23 & v4.3.2

Web

You can visit Keybase through their hidden service at:

http://keybase5wmilwokqirssclfnsqrjdsi7jdir5wy7y7iu3tanwmtp6oid.onion

Desktop

You can proxy all desktop client traffic through Tor by setting PROXY to SOCKS5, 127.0.0.1, and 9050 in Keybase -> Settings -> Advanced.

Honorable Mentions

These services are known for using Tor either extensively, or exclusively:

• JoinMarket
• Samourai Wallet
• Wasabi Wallet

Install Tor

The easiest ways to install Tor I've found so far.

MacOS

brew update && brew install tor && brew service start tor && tor --version

Note: torrc is located in /usr/local/etc/tor/torrc by default.

Debian/Ubuntu

That includes Raspbian on the more capable RBPs (not zero).

sudo apt update && sudo apt install tor && sudo service tor@default restart && tor --version

Note: torrc is located in /etc/tor/torrc by default.

Other

Here are other .onions you can use which don't fall into any of the above categories

• nolim1t.co onion
• UFTech Labs onion
• Unassigned (possibly for LNCM purposes)
