<h2>Configuring a hidden service</h2>
<p>Tor allows clients and servers to offer hidden services. That
is, you can offer an apache, sshd, etc, without revealing your IP to its
users. This works via Tor's rendezvous point design: both sides build
a Tor circuit out, and they meet in the middle.</p>
<p>Using the built-in redirection (see below), it is possible to have a
server setup on localhost and only remote Tor connections can access it.</p>
<p>Tor allows clients and servers to offer hidden services. That is,

<p>Let's consider an example.
Assume you want to set up a hidden service to allow people to access your
Apache http server through Tor. By doing this, they can access your server
but won't know who they are connecting to. You want clients to use the
standard port 80 when accessing your server. However, if your Apache
server is actually running on port 8080 locally, client connections need
to be redirected.</p>
<p><b>HiddenServiceDir</b> is a directory where Tor will store information
about that hidden service. In particular, it will store a file here named
about that hidden service. In particular, Tor will create a file here named
<i>hostname</i> which will tell you the onion URL. You don't need to add any
files to this directory.</p>
<p><b>HiddenServicePort</b> is where you specify a virtual port and where
it should be redirected to. For instance, you tell tor there's a virtual
port 80 and then redirect traffic to your local webserver at
127.0.0.1:8080.</p>
