TOR SUPPORT IN ZCASH
====================
-It is possible to run Zcash as a Tor hidden service, and connect to such services.
+It is possible to run Komodo as a Tor hidden service, and connect to such services.
The following directions assume you have a Tor proxy running on port 9050. Many distributions default to having a SOCKS proxy listening on port 9050, but others may not. In particular, the Tor Browser Bundle defaults to listening on port 9150. See [Tor Project FAQ:TBBSocksPort](https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#TBBSocksPort) for how to properly
configure Tor.
-1. Run Zcash behind a Tor proxy
+1. Run Komodo behind a Tor proxy
-------------------------------
-The first step is running Zcash behind a Tor proxy. This will already make all
+The first step is running Komodo behind a Tor proxy. This will already make all
outgoing connections be anonymized, but more is possible.
-proxy=ip:port Set the proxy server. If SOCKS5 is selected (default), this proxy
In a typical situation, this suffices to run behind a Tor proxy:
- ./zcashd -proxy=127.0.0.1:9050
+ ./komodod -proxy=127.0.0.1:9050
-2. Run a Zcash hidden server
+2. Run a Komodo hidden server
----------------------------
If you configure your Tor system accordingly, it is possible to make your node also
config file):
HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/zcash-service/
- HiddenServicePort 8233 127.0.0.1:8233
- HiddenServicePort 18233 127.0.0.1:18233
+ HiddenServicePort 7771 127.0.0.1:7771
+ HiddenServicePort 17771 127.0.0.1:17771
The directory can be different of course, but (both) port numbers should be equal to
-your zcashd's P2P listen port (8233 by default).
+your komodod's P2P listen port (7771 by default).
- -externalip=X You can tell Zcash about its publicly reachable address using
+ -externalip=X You can tell Komodo about its publicly reachable address using
this option, and this can be a .onion address. Given the above
configuration, you can find your onion address in
/var/lib/tor/zcash-service/hostname. Onion addresses are given
In a typical situation, where you're only reachable via Tor, this should suffice:
- ./zcashd -proxy=127.0.0.1:9050 -externalip=zctestseie6wxgio.onion -listen
+ ./komodod -proxy=127.0.0.1:9050 -externalip=zctestseie6wxgio.onion -listen
(obviously, replace the Onion address with your own). It should be noted that you still
listen on all devices and another node could establish a clearnet connection, when knowing
If you don't care too much about hiding your node, and want to be reachable on IPv4
as well, use `discover` instead:
- ./zcashd ... -discover
+ ./komodod ... -discover
-and open port 8233 on your firewall (or use -upnp).
+and open port 7771 on your firewall (or use -upnp).
If you only want to use Tor to reach onion addresses, but not use it as a proxy
for normal IPv4/IPv6 communication, use:
- ./zcashd -onion=127.0.0.1:9050 -externalip=zctestseie6wxgio.onion -discover
+ ./komodod -onion=127.0.0.1:9050 -externalip=zctestseie6wxgio.onion -discover
3. Automatically listen on Tor
Starting with Tor version 0.2.7.1 it is possible, through Tor's control socket
API, to create and destroy 'ephemeral' hidden services programmatically.
-Zcash has been updated to make use of this.
+Komodo has been updated to make use of this.
This means that if Tor is running (and proper authentication has been configured),
-Zcash automatically creates a hidden service to listen on. Zcash will also use Tor
+Komodo automatically creates a hidden service to listen on. Komodo will also use Tor
automatically to connect to other .onion nodes if the control socket can be
successfully opened. This will positively affect the number of available .onion
nodes and their usage.
-This new feature is enabled by default if Zcash is listening (`-listen`), and
+This new feature is enabled by default if Komodo is listening (`-listen`), and
requires a Tor connection to work. It can be explicitly disabled with `-listenonion=0`
and, if not disabled, configured using the `-torcontrol` and `-torpassword` settings.
To show verbose debugging information, pass `-debug=tor`.
Connecting to Tor's control socket API requires one of two authentication methods to be
-configured. For cookie authentication the user running zcashd must have write access
+configured. For cookie authentication the user running komodod must have write access
to the `CookieAuthFile` specified in Tor configuration. In some cases this is
preconfigured and the creation of a hidden service is automatic. If permission problems
are seen with `-debug=tor` they can be resolved by adding both the user running tor and
-the user running zcashd to the same group and setting permissions appropriately. On
-Debian-based systems the user running zcashd can be added to the debian-tor group,
+the user running komodod to the same group and setting permissions appropriately. On
+Debian-based systems the user running komodod can be added to the debian-tor group,
which has the appropriate permissions. An alternative authentication method is the use
of the `-torpassword` flag and a `hash-password` which can be enabled and specified in
Tor configuration.

-----------------------------------
To test your set-up, you might want to try connecting via Tor on a different computer to just a
-a single Zcash hidden server. Launch zcashd as follows:
+a single Komodo hidden server. Launch komodod as follows:
- ./zcashd -onion=127.0.0.1:9050 -connect=zctestseie6wxgio.onion
+ ./komodod -onion=127.0.0.1:9050 -connect=zctestseie6wxgio.onion
-Now use zcash-cli to verify there is only a single peer connection.
+Now use komodo-cli to verify there is only a single peer connection.
- zcash-cli getpeerinfo
