Now that you have a website, why not offer it on a private alternative such as the onion network?

< p > Firstly we need to add the tor repo's to have the latest up to date version or tor.< / p >
2021-07-01 07:15:11 +00:00
< pre > < code > apt install apt-transport-https< / code > < / pre >

2021-07-01 07:10:05 +00:00
< p > Then we need to add the gpg keys to our keyring< / p >
< pre > < code > curl https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org/A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89.asc | gpg --import< / code > < / code >
< pre > < code > gpg --export A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89 | apt-key add -< / code > < / code >
< p > Now update and install tor< / p >

< pre > < code > apt install tor deb.torproject.org-keyring< / code > < / pre >
2021-06-30 18:35:15 +00:00
< p > Then edit the file < code > /etc/tor/torrc< / code > , uncommenting the following lines:< / p >
< pre > < code > HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/
HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:80< / code > < / pre >
< aside >
< h4 > Optional: Running multiple onion services< / h4 >
< p > If you want to forward multiple virtual ports for a single onion
service, just add more HiddenServicePort lines (replace the 80 with any unoccupied port).
< / p >
< p > If you want to run multiple onion services from the same Tor client, just add another
HiddenServiceDir line.< / p >
< / aside >
2021-07-01 00:25:11 +00:00
< p > Now start and enable tor at boot< / p >
2021-06-30 18:35:15 +00:00
< pre > < code > systemctl enable --now tor < / code > < / pre >
< p > If the next command outputs < q > active< / q > in green you're golden!< / p >
< pre > < code > systemctl status tor< / code > < / pre >
< p > Now you're server is on the dark web. The following command will give you your onion address:< / p >
< pre > < code > cat /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/hostname< / code > < / pre >
< h2 > Adding the Nginx Config< / h2 >
< p >
From here, the steps are almost identical to setting up a normal website configuration file.
Follow the steps as if you were making a new website on the webserver

From here we are almost done, all we have to do is enable the site and reload nginx which is also covered in < a href = "nginx.html#enable" > the webserver tutorial< / a > .
