The TorBlock extension automatically applies restrictions to Tor exit node's access to the wiki's front-door server.
Installation
- Download and move the extracted
TorBlock
folder to yourextensions/
directory.
Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/TorBlock - Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
wfLoadExtension( 'TorBlock' );
- Configure as required.
- Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
Configuration
$wgTorBypassPermissions = [ 'torunblocked' ];
|
User account permissions that bypass Tor blocks.
By default, |
$wgTorLoadNodes = true;
|
If set to true , the extension will always try to load a list of nodes if there is no current list available in the cache. Loading the exit node list is expensive, so some wikis may want to set this to false , and instead have loadExitNodes.php be run as a cron job to update the node list.
|
$wgTorIPs = [ '208.80.152.2' ];
|
An array of IP addresses that the wiki server uses. Only exit nodes allowed to connect to these IPs will be returned in the internal list. Note: this is only used when the extension has to fall back to the Tor Project's bulk list service, rather than using the newer Onionoo protocol. |
$wgTorDisableAdminBlocks = true;
|
Disables existing Tor blocks made by admins. |
$wgTorAutoConfirmAge = 0;
|
Like Manual:$wgAutoConfirmAge and $wgAutoConfirmCount . Both sets of limits must be passed for an account to be granted any statuses defined in Manual:$wgAutopromote (including autoconfirmed status). |
$wgTorAllowedActions = [ 'read' ];
|
Permissions allowed to Tor anonymous users. By default, Tor users cannot create accounts. |
$wgTorOnionooServer = 'https://onionoo.torproject.org';
|
By default, the extension uses a service called Onionoo, created by the Tor Project, to retrieve the list of exit nodes. Onionoo servers can be run by anybody, so a custom one (and its associated SSL certificate) can be set with these variables. The default is the Tor Project's own server. |
$wgTorTagChanges = true;
|
Mark Tor edits as such |
$wgTorBlockProxy = false;
|
Proxy to use, if not the default proxy |
