A script to quickly set up Tor

Debian 7 (Wheezy), 8 (Jessie) or 9 (Stretch).

wget https://romanrm.net/_export/code/tor?codeblock=3 -O setup-tor.sh
chmod +x setup-tor.sh
./setup-tor.sh Nickname DirPort ORPort

If you don't have a web server on the same machine, use DirPort 80 and ORPort 443, i.e.:

./setup-tor.sh MyTorRelayName 80 443

The relay name length is limited to 18 characters or so.

You can also run the script as

./setup-tor.sh off

to completely remove Tor.

setup-tor.sh

#!/bin/bash
 
if [ "$1" == "off" ]; then
  dpkg -P deb.torproject.org-keyring tor tor-arm tor-geoipdb
  apt-get autoremove
  rm -rvf /etc/tor/ /etc/tor2/ /var/lib/tor/ /var/lib/tor2/ /etc/init.d/tor /etc/init.d/tor2 2> /dev/null
  rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tor.list
  apt-get update
  exit 0
