22	22 …	Please note that even when using TOR the (normal
23	23 …	rules)[https://www.whonix.org/wiki/DoNot] for staying anonymous still
24	24 …	applies though.

	26 …	+# What other cool things can I do with TOR?
	27 …	+
	28 …	+Glad you asked.
	29 …	+
	30 …	+If you configure TOR as a hidden service and redirect port 8008 to
	31 …	+localhost 8008 then your sbot service will be available over TOR. Add
	32 …	+the following to /etc/tor/torrc:
	33 …	+
	34 …	+HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/
	35 …	+HiddenServicePort 8008 127.0.0.1:8008
	36 …	+
	37 …	+And reload tor, then your onion address will be available in
	38 …	+/var/lib/tor/hidden_service/hostname.
	39 …	+
	40 …	+Besides hiding your IP and doing end-to-end encryption, TOR also does
	41 …	+location transparency. Meaning your hostname will always stay the same
	42 …	+no matter where you are connected, and anyone can connect to you
	43 …	+directly. No need to open ports in your firewall!
	44 …	+
	45 …	+This means that its possible to do p2p connections without pubs and
	46 …	+talk direcly to your friends. If you create an invite from your
	47 …	+machine, replace the hostname with your onion adress and send that to
	48 …	+a friend. They will be able to connect directly to you and start
	49 …	+receiving messages straight away, assuming your machine is running of
	50 …	+course.
