Setup Tor Hidden Service on CentOS 7
Tor is provided by EPEL repository on CentOS 7. Install EPEL repo with command
```
yum install epel-release
```
Install tor
```
yum install tor
```
Edit tor config file
```
vi /etc/tor/torrc
```
Uncomment or add following lines
```
HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/
HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:80
```
Restart tor with command
```
systemctl restart tor
```
Now your tor hidden service is ready to use. You need to run your web application on 127.0.0.1:80

To see URL of your tor hidden service, run
```
cat /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/hostname
```
Make sure to make a backup of folder “/var/lib/tor/hidden_service/” as it comtains keys for this .onion domain. If you lost it, you will lose your domain name. So it is very important you keep the files safe.

To stop/start tor, run
```
systemctl stop tor
systemctl start tor
```

Tor Hidden Service in Ubuntu/Debian
To install tor on Ubuntu/Debian, run
```
apt install tor
```
Default configuration file for tor is /etc/tor/torrc

To enable hidden service, edit /etc/tor/torrc
```
vi /etc/tor/torrc
```
uncomment lines
```
HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/

```
Create folder for your hidden service
```
mkdir /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/
chmod 700 /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/
chown -R debian-tor:debian-tor /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/
```
You need to install Apache/Nginx etc.. to serve your web application. Make sure to configure web application listen on 127.0.0.0:80

Now restart tor with command
```
systemctl start tor@default
```
Ubuntu/Debian support multiple instances of tor. You can use command “/usr/sbin/tor-instance-create” to create new tor instance. Configuration for instanced tor available at /etc/tor/instances/INSTANCE_NAME/torrc

To see URL for your Hidden service, run
```
cat /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/hostname
```
Example
```
root@lab:~# cat /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/hostname 
3w2pkr2qcusd6rx7zq4rulq7kt4xjpsgv7nxubcy2bdbgipy4wto4aid.onion
root@lab:~# 
```
You should be able to visit the application using .onion link in Tor Browser.

You need to take backup of tor folder (/var/lib/tor/hidden_service) as it contains your secret keys, this is needed to use the .onion domain name. If you lose this, you will lose the .onion url.

To start the service on boot, run
```
systemctl enable tor@default
```

Install Tor on Ubuntu
Tor is a highly anonymous proxy network. Tor is used by sites in dark web as it is almost impossible to find who owns a web site when it is hidden using tor.

https://www.torproject.org

To install tor on Ubuntu/Debian, run
```
apt install -y tor
```
This will start a sock5 proxy server on your PC on port 9050.

To check if proxy is working, run
```
root@ok-vm:~# curl --socks5 127.0.0.1:9050 http://checkip.amazonaws.com
185.220.101.44
root@ok-vm:~# 
```
You can also use “torify”, that work like proxychains.
```
root@ok-vm:~# torify curl http://checkip.amazonaws.com
185.220.101.46
root@ok-vm:~# 
```
You can configure your browser to use sock5 proxy server running on 127.0.0.1 on port 9050.

If you are using applications that do not support proxy, then you can use torify or proxychains, for example.
```
torify google-chrome
```

Block Tor IP Addresses with CSF Firewall
To block traffic from TOR using CSF firewall, edit
```
vi /etc/csf/csf.blocklists
```
Add following to end of the file
```
TOR|86400|0|https://www.dan.me.uk/torlist/
```
86400 = Tor IP list updated every 86400 seconds (12 hours), you can change this if required, but updating every 12 hours is fine for such a large list.

Now restart CSF and LFD
```
csf -r
systemctl restart lfd
```
You can verify IPs get added to firewall by running
```
iptables -L -n
```
You wills see DROP lines for each of the TOR IP address.
```
# iptables -L -n | grep DROP | wc -l
5955
# 
```
You will be able to see the downloaded TOR IP list at
```
/var/lib/csf/csf.block.TOR
```
