tor

Topology

Nodes with tor service will run a Tor exit or hidden service, depending on what other service it is paired with:

• tor + openvpn: when combined with openvpn nodes, tor will create a Tor exit node to provide extra cover traffic for the VPN. This can be especially useful if there are VPN gateways without much traffic.
• tor + webapp: when combined with a webapp node, the tor service will make the webapp and the API available via .onion hidden service.
• tor stand alone: a regular Tor exit node.

If activated, you can list the hidden service .onion addresses this way:

leap ls –print tor.hidden_service.address tor

Then just add ‘.onion’ to the end of the printed addresses.

Configuration

• tor.bandwidth_rate: the max bandwidth allocated to Tor, in KB per second, when used as an exit node.

For example:

{
  "tor": {
    "bandwidth_rate": 6550
  }
}
