1. Install Tor:

   • Install the Tor Browser on your system. You can download it from the official Tor Project website.

2. Configure the Web Server:

   • Set up a web server on your machine. Apache is a common choice, but you can use other web servers based on your preferences.

3. Create the HTML Page:

   • Create a simple HTML page that you want to host. Save it in the directory of your web server.

4. Configure the Web Server for Tor:

   • Modify the configuration of your web server to listen on port 80 and possibly port 443 (for HTTPS traffic).
   • Ensure that your server is configured to accept connections from localhost.

5. Configure the Tor Hidden Service File:

   • Create a configuration file for your .onion service. You can do this by adding the following lines in the torrc file (the Tor configuration file):

     HiddenServiceDir /path/to/hidden_service_directory 
     HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:80
     

   • Make sure to replace "/path/to/hidden_service_directory" with the actual path to your Hidden Service directory.

6. Restart Tor:

   • Restart the Tor service to apply the configuration changes.

7. Access Your .onion Site:

   • Once Tor is restarted, you will find a private key in the Hidden Service directory. Use this private key to access your .onion site via the Tor Browser.
