🧅 Hidden Services

Host your services on the Tor network with .onion addresses:

# Via LuCI
Services → Tor Shield → Hidden Services → Add

# Via CLI
ubus call luci.tor-shield add_hidden_service '{"name":"mysite","local_port":80,"virtual_port":80}'

# Get onion address
cat /var/lib/tor/hidden_service_mysite/hostname

Example Hidden Services

Service	Local Port	Onion Port	Use Case
Web Server	80	80	Anonymous website
SSH	22	22	Secure remote access
API	8080	80	Anonymous API endpoint

🌉 Bridges

Bypass network censorship using Tor bridges:

Bridge Types

Type	Description	When to Use
obfs4	Obfuscated protocol	Most censored networks
meek-azure	Domain fronting via Azure	Highly restrictive networks
snowflake	WebRTC-based	Dynamic bridge discovery

Auto-Bridge Detection

# Enable automatic bridge selection
uci set tor-shield.main.auto_bridges=1
uci commit tor-shield
/etc/init.d/tor-shield restart

🔧 Configuration

UCI Settings

# /etc/config/tor-shield

config tor-shield 'main'
    option enabled '1'
    option mode 'transparent'      # transparent | socks
    option dns_over_tor '1'        # Route DNS through Tor
    option kill_switch '1'         # Block traffic if Tor fails
    option auto_bridges '0'        # Auto-detect censorship

config socks 'socks'
    option port '9050'

  "write_rate": 12000     # Current upload rate (bytes/sec)
}

🛠️ Troubleshooting

Tor Won't Start

# Check logs
logread | grep -i tor

# Verify config
tor --verify-config -f /var/run/tor/torrc

# Check control socket
ls -la /var/run/tor/control

Slow Connections

1. Check bootstrap - Wait for 100% completion
2. Try bridges - Network may be throttling Tor
3. Change circuits - Click "New Identity"
4. Check exit nodes - Some exits are slow

DNS Leaks

# Verify DNS is routed through Tor
nslookup check.torproject.org

# Should resolve via Tor DNS (127.0.0.1:9053)

Kill Switch Issues

# Check firewall rules
iptables -L -n | grep -i tor

# Verify kill switch config
uci get tor-shield.main.kill_switch

📁 File Locations

Path	Description
/etc/config/tor-shield	UCI configuration
/var/run/tor/torrc	Generated Tor config
/var/run/tor/control	Control socket
/var/lib/tor/	Tor data directory
/var/lib/tor/hidden_service_*/	Hidden service keys
/tmp/tor_exit_ip	Cached exit IP
/tmp/tor_real_ip	Cached real IP

🔐 Security Notes

1. Kill Switch - Always enable for maximum protection
2. DNS Leaks - Enable DNS over Tor to prevent leaks
3. Hidden Services - Keys in /var/lib/tor/ are sensitive - back them up securely
4. Exit Nodes - Consider excluding certain countries for sensitive use
5. Bridges - Use if your ISP blocks or throttles Tor
