-<h2>Configuring a hidden service</h2>
-
-<p>Tor allows clients and servers to offer <em>hidden services</em>. That
-is, you can offer an apache, sshd, etc, without revealing your IP to its
-users. This works via Tor's rendezvous point design: both sides build
-a Tor circuit out, and they meet in the middle.</p>
-
-<p>Once you've installed Tor and Privoxy, you can <a
-href="http://6sxoyfb3h2nvok2d.onion/">go to the hidden wiki</a> to see
-hidden services in action.</p>
-
-<p>To set up a hidden service, edit your torrc:</p>
-
-[screenshot here of clicking on tor|torrc]
-
-<p>Edit the middle part to enable your service. Then restart Tor. It will
-create each HiddenServiceDir you have configured, and it will create a
-'hostname' file which specifies the url (xyz.onion) for that service. You
-can tell people the url, and they can connect to it via their Tor client,
-assuming they're also using Tor and Privoxy.</p>
