### Connect to RTL remotely over Tor
|
|
|
|
This guide will allow you to remotely connect to RTL over Tor. This can work on any platform, the below example is for serving an android and windows client.
|
|
|
|
#### Server Setup
|
|
Install Tor on the same local machine as RTL. see the tor project wiki [here](https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki)
|
|
On Debian based distros:
|
|
$> sudo apt install tor
|
|
|
|
Edit `/etc/tor/torrc` (Debian based distro) configuration file, and add the following lines:
|
|
```
|
|
HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/rtl-service-v3/
|
|
HiddenServiceVersion 3
|
|
HiddenServicePort 3000 127.0.0.1:3000
|
|
```
|
|
Change `/var/lib/tor/rtl-service-v3/` to any directory you want to store the hidden service credentials.
|
|
|
|
Save the changes to the `torrc` file and restart tor.
|
|
$> sudo systemctl restart tor
|
|
or sometimes:
|
|
$> sudo systemctl daemon-reload
|
|
|
|
View the contents of the file `/var/lib/tor/rtl-service-v3/hostname`. You need to be root. It will show an onion address. This is your address.
|
|
On Debian based distro:
|
|
$> su -c "cat /var/lib/tor/rtl-service-v3/hostname"
|
|
|
|
#### Client setup: Android
|
|
|
|
Install Tor browser (or any other compatible browser) for Android from the app store
|
|
|
|
Open the tor enabled browser and type in the onion address (example `z1234567890abc.onion:3000`)
|
|
Only you have access to this website! All traffic in the tor enabled browser will go over Tor (which is slower than clearnet).
|
|
|
|
#### Client setup: Windows Tor Browser (not updated)
|
|
|
|
Download and install Tor Browser for windows: https://www.torproject.org/download/
|
|
|
|
In Windows, edit `"%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%"\Desktop\Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Data\Tor\torrc`
|
|
|
|
Add the following line. Replace the onion address, password(cookie), and mydevice with your credentials:
|
|
```
|
|
HidServAuth 1234567890abcdefg.onion abcdef01234567890+/K mydevice
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Save and exit.
|
|
|
|
Now open Tor Browser, type in the `1234567890abcdefg.onion:3000` address!
