Using Haveno with internal Tor

By default, Haveno includes an integrated Tor binary. This provides a seamless experience that requires no external dependencies or manual configuration.

Advanced DDoS Configuration

The internal configuration is optimized for standard use. If your node experiences sustained DDoS attacks, we recommend transitioning to an External Tor setup for more robust hardening.

Supported configuration

--hiddenServiceParams

Default: PoWDefensesEnabled=1,PoWQueueRate=10,PoWQueueBurst=100
Passes configuration directly to the ADD_ONION dynamic service to enable and tune Proof of Work defense.

--hiddenServiceFlags

Default: ""
Passes behavior modifiers directly to the ADD_ONION command. These are binary or state-based toggles rather than key-value pairs.

--torrcOptions

Default: NumCPUs 0 (use all available CPUs)
A list of entries to amend to Haveno's internal torrc. Note that critical system entries cannot be overwritten.
Format: Option Value[; ...]

Example configuration

--hiddenServiceParams="PoWDefensesEnabled=1,PoWQueueRate=10,PoWQueueBurst=100" \
--hiddenServiceFlags="" \
--torrcOptions="NumCPUs 0" \
