From 8f4e67f152a9625a1c66c20de00679286b2c187c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Wladimir J. van der Laan" Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2015 20:12:08 +0200 Subject: net: Automatically create hidden service, listen on Tor Starting with Tor version 0.2.7.1 it is possible, through Tor's control socket API, to create and destroy 'ephemeral' hidden services programmatically. https://stem.torproject.org/api/control.html#stem.control.Controller.create_ephemeral_hidden_service This means that if Tor is running (and proper authorization is available), bitcoin automatically creates a hidden service to listen on, without user manual configuration. This will positively affect the number of available .onion nodes. - When the node is started, connect to Tor through control socket - Send `ADD_ONION` command - First time: - Make it create a hidden service key - Save the key in the data directory for later usage - Make it redirect port 8333 to the local port 8333 (or whatever port we're listening on). - Keep control socket connection open for as long node is running. The hidden service will (by default) automatically go away when the connection is closed. --- src/netbase.cpp | 5 +---- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'src/netbase.cpp') diff --git a/src/netbase.cpp b/src/netbase.cpp index f5316965c..83cedfb62 100644 --- a/src/netbase.cpp +++ b/src/netbase.cpp @@ -227,10 +227,7 @@ bool LookupNumeric(const char *pszName, CService& addr, int portDefault) return Lookup(pszName, addr, portDefault, false); } -/** - * Convert milliseconds to a struct timeval for select. - */ -struct timeval static MillisToTimeval(int64_t nTimeout) +struct timeval MillisToTimeval(int64_t nTimeout) { struct timeval timeout; timeout.tv_sec = nTimeout / 1000; -- cgit v1.2.3
