How to setup a TOR Proxy Gateway through Denarius DDNS Naming System using the Names subdomains as the beginning of onion addresses. Going to use Ubuntu 20.04 and Snap daemon. First install Denarius snap daemon and sync the wallet, grab chaindata to make this faster. Install tor sudo apt install tor Using this guide to install dnsmasq https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/516808 Install dnsmasq sudo apt install dnsmasq Disable systemd-resolved sudo systemctl disable systemd-resolved.service Remove resolv.conf sudo rm /etc/resolv.conf Now we are going to add the Denarius DDNS and nameservers in. sudo /etc/dnsmasq.d/03-denarius-wildcard.conf add these to the file server=/d/127.0.0.1#5333 server=/dnr/127.0.0.1#5333 server=/denarii/127.0.0.1#5333 server=/king/127.0.0.1#5333 server=/ipfs/127.0.0.1#5333 server=/sys/127.0.0.1#5333 server=/btc/127.0.0.1#5333 server=/bitcoin/127.0.0.1#5333 Edit resolv.conf for our new name servers sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf Add in a clearnet nameserver and the Denarius DDNS localhost nameserver nameserver 127.0.0.1 nameserver 8.8.8.8 Restart dnsmasq sudo systemctl restart dnsmasq Ping a Denarius DDNS site like http://magnets.king ping magnets.king If the ping works this part is working. Setup Tor. sudo nano /etc/tor/torrc Add these lines to the top. HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/ddns/ HiddenServiceVersion 3 HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:80 Restart Tor service to get our onion address. sudo service tor restart sudo cat /var/lib/tor/ddns/hostname I get 3lervphhwefgayia6fvbdokw2avdev3pa5u4h4bjhhonetl3z67uzeid.onion Setup NGINX sudo apt install nginx Edit the default config file because I am lazy sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default Add this in and adjust the onion address server { listen 127.0.0.1:80; server_name ~^(?<subdomain>.+)\.3lervphhwefgayia6fvbdokw2avdev3pa5u4h4bjhhonetl3z67uzeid\.onion$; location / { resolver 127.0.0.1 valid=30s; proxy_pass http://$subdomain; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; } } Restart nginx. sudo service nginx restart Open up TOR Browser and go to Denarius DDNS names like this http://wiki.d.3lervphhwefgayia6fvbdokw2avdev3pa5u4h4bjhhonetl3z67uzeid.onion/ http://stats.d.3lervphhwefgayia6fvbdokw2avdev3pa5u4h4bjhhonetl3z67uzeid.onion/ http://satoshi.bitcoin.3lervphhwefgayia6fvbdokw2avdev3pa5u4h4bjhhonetl3z67uzeid.onion/ http://magnets.king.3lervphhwefgayia6fvbdokw2avdev3pa5u4h4bjhhonetl3z67uzeid.onion/ You should now have a a Tor Proxy gateway that can see the Denarius names as a wildcard catchall subdomain. Adjust for only sites you run or for clearnet sites you run to give newbies an easy way to check out a decentralized naming system on a blockchain.
