I am following the guide at
I am new to this and I wanted to host a simple html site for learning purposes, I got to the following part:
Tip: A good practice to avoid leaking an Onion Service to a local network is to run Onion Services over Unix sockets instead of a TCP socket. You will need to add the following two lines to your
torrcfile:HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/my-website/ HiddenServicePort 80 unix:/var/run/tor/my-website.sock
I am a little confused, further up in the guide the example website name was my_website
So, my question is, when it says my-website is the - a typo and is supposed to be an underscore or is that a different name on purpose? If the name I use is onion, should the part about leaking prevention also be onion or should it be something else?
Thanks in advance for the help.
