TOR_LISTEN_x Specify IP addresses or symbolic names including portnumber of the inter-

face here on which Tor should listen to clients. It is a good idea to specify only trusted

interfaces because all clients have full access to Tor (and its activated conﬁguration edi-

tor). Normally setting IP_NET_1_IPADDR:9050 makes most sense.

Tor will listen to the addresses set here oﬀering its services. The default port is 9050.

This setting has to be used in the conﬁguration of your programs.

Deﬁne your ﬂi4l name (see HOSTNAME in base.txt) or its IP (i.e. 192.168.6.1) as a proxy

in your client. With the port number set here all data necessary to conﬁgure programs

for using Tor is provided.

TOR_ALLOW_N Sets the number of list entries.

TOR_ALLOW_x List of nets and/or IP addresses for which the packet ﬁlter has to be opened.

Default: IP_NET_1.

TOR_CONTROL_PORT Specify here on which TCP port Tor should open a control port

using Tor control protocol. The setting is optional. If nothing is speciﬁed this function

will be deactivated.

TOR_CONTROL_PASSWORD Set a password for the control port here.

TOR_DATA_DIR This setting is optional. If not set the default directory /etc/tor will be

used.

TOR_HTTP_PROXY If Tor should forward queries to a HTTP proxy set it here. Tor will

use the proxy then to use its functions. A valid entry could look like this:

TOR_HTTP_PROXY='my.provider.de:8000'

This setting is optional.

TOR_HTTP_PROXY_AUTH If the proxy needs authentiﬁcation set it here. Use notation

username:password.

TOR_HTTPS_PROXY A HTTPS proxy can be speciﬁed here. See TOR_HTTP_PROXY.

TOR_HTTPS_PROXY_AUTH See TOR_HTTP_PROXY_AUTH.

TOR_LOGLEVEL This option sets Tor’s logging behavior. Possible values are:

debug, info, notice, warn or err.

Don’t use debug and info due to security concerns except when really needed.

TOR_LOGFILE If Tor should write its log to a ﬁle instead of syslog you can set its name

here.

You may specify ’auto’ to make ﬂi4l use the path of the system directory for persistent

storage. Please take care for FLI4L_UUID being correctly conﬁgured as huge data amounts

should be expected and /boot or even RAM disk may else overﬂow.
