README for tor
PRECAUTION
Make sure you edit /etc/pkgadd.conf and add the following lines:
UPGRADE ^var/lib/tor/.*$ NO
UPGRADE ^etc/tor/torrc$ NO
UPGRADE ^etc/tor/torifyrc$ NO
Failure to do so will result in the loss of your tor data and
configuration upon update!
If you edit the torrc file for extra logging, make sure you:
chmod 0640 /var/log/tor/* files, for security reasons.
Make sure that in torrc file this option is commented, because
the tor's rc script already do that:
# RunAsDaemon=1
PRE-INSTALL
Tor expects to have a user and group dedicated to it.
pre-install script takes care of this.
NOTES
DNS
---
If you want to use Tor DNS as default nameserver on port 53,
dont forget to allow non-root process to bind a privileged port:
sudo setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' /usr/bin/tor
