@@ -5,7 +5,8 @@ P2Pool has several command-line options that should be used for TOR setup:
- `--socks5 IP:port` to specify your TOR proxy address (usually `127.0.0.1:9050` if you installed TOR on the same PC)
- `--no-dns` to disable all DNS queries and prevent DNS leaks. P2Pool only ever makes DNS requests to get a list of seed nodes, to resolve your Monero node's domain (if it's not set as an IP address), and to resolve manually added peers
- `--no-upnp` to disable UPnP requests (they are sent to your router, so use this option if you are not on your home network)
- `--onion-address` your hidden service's address (without port number). This address will be broadcast to other peers when you mine a share in P2Pool. This is to prevent address spamming - you have to mine a real share to be able to broadcast your TOR address
- `--onion-address` your hidden service's address (without port number). This address will be broadcast to other peers when you mine a share in P2Pool. This is to prevent address spamming - you have to mine a real share to be able to broadcast your TOR address.
- **Attention: this also links the onion address with the Monero wallet you use for mining. Create a new onion address when mining through TOR, don't use your existing onion addresses to avoid meta-data leaks.**
- `--no-clearnet-p2p` to never connect to clearnet P2Pool nodes. This also makes sure that your P2Pool traffic doesn't exit the TOR network (and is not seen/modified by the exit nodes)
## Setting up a hidden service for P2Pool (Linux)
@@ -22,6 +23,7 @@ P2Pool has several command-line options that should be used for TOR setup:
```
- If there were no errors, you should now have the `/var/lib/tor/p2pool` directory with a `hostname` file in it. This file will contain your onion address
- Use this address in P2Pool's command line: `--onion-address ADDRESS_FROM_HOSTNAME_FILE`
- It is strongly recommended to create a new onion address for mining (see `--onion-address` remarks). This guide ensures you will be using a new onion address, assuming that you don't already have a hidden service named `p2pool`.
## Command line example
