title: Setting up Tor with Light Client
|

|
Bitcoin-s node can connect to the p2p network over Tor.
|
|
|
|
Before setting up Bitcoin-s node to use Tor you must have Tor installed and running.
|
|
|
|
To install Tor use this command on Debian based Linux systems
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo apt install tor
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or this command to install it on Mac OS X
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
brew install tor
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You don't need a special configuration for Tor to be a SOCKS5 proxy for a Bitcoin-s node.
|
|
However, you might want to uncomment this line in your `/etc/tor/torrc` (Linux) or
|
|
`/usr/local/etc/tor/torrc` (Mac OS X) file to prevent your Tor node from using your computer
|
|
as an exit point to the clearnet:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
ExitPolicy reject *:* # no exits allowed
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Start Tor on Linux machines:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo systemctl start tor
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or Mac OS X:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
brew services start tor
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Next you need to enable SOCKS5 proxy support in your `~/.bitcoin-s/bitcoin-s.conf` file:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
bitcoin-s.node.proxy.enabled = true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See https://github.com/bitcoin-s/bitcoin-s/blob/master/db-commons/src/main/resources/reference.conf for other proxy configuration parameters. |
