+<div class="sectionbody">
+<div class="paragraph"><p><em>tor</em> is a connection-oriented anonymizing communication
+service. Users choose a source-routed path through a set of nodes, and
+negotiate a "virtual circuit" through the network, in which each node
+knows its predecessor and successor, but no others. Traffic flowing down
+the circuit is unwrapped by a symmetric key at each node, which reveals
+the downstream node.<br /></p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Basically <em>tor</em> provides a distributed network of servers ("onion routers").
+Users bounce their TCP streams — web traffic, ftp, ssh, etc — around the
+routers, and recipients, observers, and even the routers themselves have
+difficulty tracking the source of the stream.</p></div>

+ who ask to build circuits through them (since this is proportional to
+ advertised bandwidth rate) can thus reduce the CPU demands on their server
+ without impacting network performance.

+<strong>ConnLimit</strong> <em>NUM</em>
+</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+ The minimum number of file descriptors that must be available to the Tor

+ descriptors as the OS will allow (you can find this by "ulimit -H -n").
+ If this number is less than ConnLimit, then Tor will refuse to start.<br />
+<br />
+ You probably don’t need to adjust this. It has no effect on Windows

+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt class="hdlist1">
+<strong>ConstrainedSockets</strong> <strong>0</strong>|<strong>1</strong>
+</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+ If set, Tor will tell the kernel to attempt to shrink the buffers for all
+ sockets to the size specified in <strong>ConstrainedSockSize</strong>. This is useful for
+ virtual servers and other environments where system level TCP buffers may
+ be limited. If you’re on a virtual server, and you encounter the "Error
+ creating network socket: No buffer space available" message, you are
+ likely experiencing this problem.<br />
+<br />
+ The preferred solution is to have the admin increase the buffer pool for
+ the host itself via /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_mem or equivalent facility;
+ this configuration option is a second-resort.<br />
+<br />
+ The DirPort option should also not be used if TCP buffers are scarce. The
+ cached directory requests consume additional sockets which exacerbates
+ the problem.<br />
+<br />
+ You should <strong>not</strong> enable this feature unless you encounter the "no buffer
+ space available" issue. Reducing the TCP buffers affects window size for
+ the TCP stream and will reduce throughput in proportion to round trip
+ time on long paths. (Default: 0.)
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt class="hdlist1">
+<strong>ConstrainedSockSize</strong> <em>N</em> <strong>bytes</strong>|<strong>KB</strong>
+</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+ When <strong>ConstrainedSockets</strong> is enabled the receive and transmit buffers for

+ 262144, in 1024 byte increments. Default of 8192 is recommended.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt class="hdlist1">
+<strong>ControlPort</strong> <em>PORT</em>|<strong>auto</strong>
+</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+ If set, Tor will accept connections on this port and allow those
+ connections to control the Tor process using the Tor Control Protocol
+ (described in control-spec.txt). Note: unless you also specify one or
+ more of <strong>HashedControlPassword</strong> or <strong>CookieAuthentication</strong>,
+ setting this option will cause Tor to allow any process on the local
+ host to control it. (Setting both authentication methods means either
+ method is sufficient to authenticate to Tor.) This
+ option is required for many Tor controllers; most use the value of 9051.
+ Set it to "auto" to have Tor pick a port for you. (Default: 0).
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt class="hdlist1">
+<strong>ControlListenAddress</strong> <em>IP</em>[:<em>PORT</em>]
+</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+ Bind the controller listener to this address. If you specify a port, bind
+ to this port rather than the one specified in ControlPort. We strongly
+ recommend that you leave this alone unless you know what you’re doing,
+ since giving attackers access to your control listener is really
+ dangerous. (Default: 127.0.0.1) This directive can be specified multiple
+ times to bind to multiple addresses/ports.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt class="hdlist1">
+<strong>ControlSocket</strong> <em>Path</em>
+</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+ Like ControlPort, but listens on a Unix domain socket, rather than a TCP
+ socket. (Unix and Unix-like systems only.)
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt class="hdlist1">
+<strong>ControlSocketsGroupWritable</strong> <strong>0</strong>|<strong>1</strong>
+</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+ If this option is set to 0, don’t allow the filesystem group to read and
+ write unix sockets (e.g. ControlSocket). If the option is set to 1, make
+ the control socket readable and writable by the default GID. (Default: 0)
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt class="hdlist1">
+<strong>HashedControlPassword</strong> <em>hashed_password</em>
+</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+ Allow connections on the control port if they present
+ the password whose one-way hash is <em>hashed_password</em>. You
+ can compute the hash of a password by running "tor --hash-password
+ <em>password</em>". You can provide several acceptable passwords by using more
+ than one HashedControlPassword line.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt class="hdlist1">
+<strong>CookieAuthentication</strong> <strong>0</strong>|<strong>1</strong>
+</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+ If this option is set to 1, allow connections on the control port
+ when the connecting process knows the contents of a file named
+ "control_auth_cookie", which Tor will create in its data directory. This
+ authentication method should only be used on systems with good filesystem
+ security. (Default: 0)
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt class="hdlist1">
+<strong>CookieAuthFile</strong> <em>Path</em>
+</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+ If set, this option overrides the default location and file name
+ for Tor’s cookie file. (See CookieAuthentication above.)
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt class="hdlist1">
+<strong>CookieAuthFileGroupReadable</strong> <strong>0</strong>|<strong>1</strong>|<em>Groupname</em>
+</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+ If this option is set to 0, don’t allow the filesystem group to read the
+ cookie file. If the option is set to 1, make the cookie file readable by
+ the default GID. [Making the file readable by other groups is not yet
+ implemented; let us know if you need this for some reason.] (Default: 0).
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt class="hdlist1">
+<strong>ControlPortWriteToFile</strong> <em>Path</em>
+</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+ If set, Tor writes the address and port of any control port it opens to
+ this address. Usable by controllers to learn the actual control port
+ when ControlPort is set to "auto".
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt class="hdlist1">
+<strong>ControlPortFileGroupReadable</strong> <strong>0</strong>|<strong>1</strong>
+</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+ If this option is set to 0, don’t allow the filesystem group to read the
+ control port file. If the option is set to 1, make the control port
+ file readable by the default GID. (Default: 0).
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt class="hdlist1">
+<strong>DataDirectory</strong> <em>DIR</em>
+</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+ Store working data in DIR (Default: /var/lib/tor)
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt class="hdlist1">
+<strong>DirServer</strong> [<em>nickname</em>] [<strong>flags</strong>] <em>address</em>:<em>port</em> <em>fingerprint</em>
+</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+ Use a nonstandard authoritative directory server at the provided address
+ and port, with the specified key fingerprint. This option can be repeated
+ many times, for multiple authoritative directory servers. Flags are
+ separated by spaces, and determine what kind of an authority this directory
+ is. By default, every authority is authoritative for current ("v2")-style
+ directories, unless the "no-v2" flag is given. If the "v1" flags is
+ provided, Tor will use this server as an authority for old-style (v1)
+ directories as well. (Only directory mirrors care about this.) Tor will
+ use this server as an authority for hidden service information if the "hs"
+ flag is set, or if the "v1" flag is set and the "no-hs" flag is <strong>not</strong> set.
+ Tor will use this authority as a bridge authoritative directory if the
+ "bridge" flag is set. If a flag "orport=<strong>port</strong>" is given, Tor will use the
+ given port when opening encrypted tunnels to the dirserver. Lastly, if a
+ flag "v3ident=<strong>fp</strong>" is given, the dirserver is a v3 directory authority
+ whose v3 long-term signing key has the fingerprint <strong>fp</strong>.<br />
+<br />
+ If no <strong>dirserver</strong> line is given, Tor will use the default directory
+ servers. NOTE: this option is intended for setting up a private Tor
+ network with its own directory authorities. If you use it, you will be
+ distinguishable from other users, because you won’t believe the same
