#### Server Setup
Install Tor on the same local machine as RTL. see the tor project wiki [here](https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki)
On Debian based distros:
$> sudo apt install tor
Edit the `torrc` configuration file, and add the following lines:
Edit `/etc/tor/torrc` (Debian based distro) configuration file, and add the following lines:
```
HiddenServiceDir /var/db/tor/rtl/
HiddenServiceVersion 2
HiddenServiceAuthorizeClient stealth mydevice
HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/rtl-service-v3/
HiddenServiceVersion 3
HiddenServicePort 3000 127.0.0.1:3000
```
Change `/var/db/tor/rtl/` to any directory you want to store the hidden service credentials.
Change `mydevice` to anything you want.
Change `/var/lib/tor/rtl-service-v3/` to any directory you want to store the hidden service credentials.
Save the changes to the `torrc` file and restart tor.
$> sudo systemctl restart tor
or sometimes:
$> sudo systemctl daemon-reload
View the contents of the file `/var/db/tor/rtl/hostname`. It will show an onion address, an authentication password(cookie), and the associated `mydevice` label.
View the contents of the file `/var/lib/tor/rtl-service-v3/hostname`. You need to be root. It will show an onion address. This is your address.
On Debian based distro:
$> su -c "cat /var/lib/tor/rtl-service-v3/hostname"
#### Client setup: Android
Download Orbot for android (add their repos to F-Droid here: https://guardianproject.info/fdroid/
Install Tor browser (or any other compatible browser) for Android from the app store
Open orbot. Click the `⋮`, select `hidden services ˃`, select `Client cookies`.
Open the tor enabled browser and type in the onion address (example `z1234567890abc.onion:3000`)
Only you have access to this website! All traffic in the tor enabled browser will go over Tor (which is slower than clearnet).
Press the + button on the lower right. Type in the the onion address and secret cookie you revealed in file `/var/lnd/tor/rtl/hostname`.
Go back to orbot's main screen, and select the gear icon under `tor enabled apps`.
Add your favorite tor compatible browser (I use brave) `Brave`, then press back.
Click `stop` on the big onion logo. Exit orbot and reopen it.
Turn on `VPN Mode`. Start your connection to the tor network by clicking on the big onion (if it has not automatically connected already)
Now open the tor enabled browser and type in the onion address (example `z1234567890abc.onion:3000`)
Only you have access to this website! All traffic in the brave browser will go over Tor (which is slower than clearnet).
To go back to clearnet browsing, turn off VPN mode in Orbot.
