============
SSH Over Tor
============
.. warning:: This is an advanced feature and should be used with caution. Start9 is not responsible for any damage you might cause while using SSH access.
.. note:: The following guide requires that you have already added an `SSH key to your Embassy<ssh-setup>`.
This is currently only supported on Linux, but may work on Windows with `Torifier <https://torifier.com/>`_.
Setup
-----
#. First, you'll need one dependency, ``torsocks``, which will allow you to use SSH over Tor on the machine that you want access with. Select your Linux flavor to install:
.. tabs::
.. group-tab:: Debian / Ubuntu
.. code-block:: bash
apt install torsocks
.. group-tab:: Arch / Garuda / Manjaro
.. code-block:: bash
pacman -S torsocks
#. SSH in:
.. code-block:: bash
ssh root@embassy-xxxxxxx.local
#. Add the following 2 lines to ``/etc/tor/torrc`` **EITHER** by using your preferred text editor (such as ``nano`` or ``vim``):
``HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/ssh``
``HiddenServicePort 22 127.0.0.1:22``
**OR** by entering the following 2 commands:
.. code-block:: bash
echo "HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/ssh" >> /etc/tor/torrc
echo "HiddenServicePort 22 127.0.0.1:22" >> /etc/tor/torrc
#. Then reload the Tor configuration with your edits:
.. code-block:: bash
systemctl reload tor
#. Next, gather the ``.onion`` address you just created:
.. code-block:: bash
cat /var/lib/tor/ssh/hostname
.. note:: All these changes are on the overlay and won't persist after a restart of your Embassy
#. Add an additional SSH key in your EmbassyUI if you want to access from a machine other than the one you did this setup with.
Access
------
Now to log in, simply use the following command, using the ``.onion`` hostname you printed above:
.. code-block::
torsocks ssh root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.onion
