 [_protocols_port]
+; If you want your server to be reachable via a Tor

+; torrc for you. The port numbers shown as _hidden
+; will be mapped to the Tor hidden service. Avoid
+; having too many of them. For PSYC federation to
+; work properly over Tor, you need your node to use
+; the .onion hostname instead of a traditional one.
+; See above. If you leave that out, then your node
+; will be reachable via Tor, but not connect to other
+; PSYC nodes in the Tor network. Finally, if you want
+; to federate over Tor, you need to add "torsocks" in
+; front of the psyced wrapper script. And remember this
+; is experimental as hell.
