A web server is the computer software and underlying hardware that communicates with a web browser using HTTP to distribute web pages to the client who requested it, with local web server examples including Apache and Nginx. In order to set up a website or some content for a client to access, we need to set up a local web server. Step 2 → Download and Set Up a Web Server (Optional during Development, but required for Production) In later steps, we will be using the Tor Browser app to view the site remotely. Please note, in this step you are running the tor service on your machine to host the onion server. Once you have successfully downloaded tor, to check if tor is running you can either open the browser and establish connection or use commands to check its success: /opt/homebrew/bin/brew services start tor While there are multiple ways to download and set up tor, the simplest is to follow the instructions at that goes along with the operating system you are using.įor further information, you can follow the Tor installation guide: Step 1 → Download and Set Up the Tor Service While the following instructions are specific to a Mac, with minor differences this can be applied to other devices and systems. But to do so, one needs to know how to set up an Onion Service. By using an onion service, users can hide their location while active, connect to other Tor users, and retain their privacy throughout. Users now have the ability to combine the security of HTTPS with the privacy benefits of Tor Browser and share information through Tor’s anonymous network services – Onion Services. However, that does not necessarily mean that all network services are subject to such scrutiny. In this day and age when our data is consistently being tracked and profited off of, sharing information safely and securely is difficult.
