<h2>Configuring a hidden service</h2>
<p>Tor allows clients and servers to offer <em>hidden services</em>. 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>Once you've installed Tor and Privoxy, you can <a
href="http://6sxoyfb3h2nvok2d.onion/">go to the hidden wiki</a> to see
hidden services in action.</p>
<p>To set up a hidden service, edit your torrc:</p>
[screenshot here of clicking on tor|torrc]
<p>Edit the middle part to enable your service. Then restart Tor. It will
create each HiddenServiceDir you have configured, and it will create a
'hostname' file which specifies the url (xyz.onion) for that service. You
can tell people the url, and they can connect to it via their Tor client,
assuming they're also using Tor and Privoxy.</p>
