FAQs

What is this site?

This site builds a torrc, the configuration file for the Tor daemon, entirely in your browser. Choose a role and options, and it writes the directives for you.

What is an onion service?

An onion (hidden) service exposes a server through Tor at a .onion address, so neither its IP nor its visitors' IPs are revealed. Tick the onion service box and point it at a local port to host one. This site itself runs an onion service.

Should I run an exit relay?

Exit relays carry traffic out to the open internet and can attract abuse complaints and legal attention to your address. Most operators run non-exit relays or bridges, which still help the network with far less risk. Only enable exit traffic if you understand the implications.

Do you log anything I enter?

No. This site is a static page that runs entirely client-side. Nothing you enter is sent anywhere, so it works offline.

Is this site open source?

Yes! You can find the full source code on GitHub.
