 0. This was tested on an Arch Linux setup, packages `base` and `tor` must be installed to get the proxy working.\
 LibreY has other requirements as well.\
 Slight differences in Tor configurations may be needed across different systems.
 
 1. Create `/etc/tor/torrc` and edit it to your liking
 ```
 SOCKSPort 127.0.0.1:9050
 SOCKSPolicy accept 127.0.0.1/32
 SOCKSPolicy reject *
 
 DataDirectory /var/lib/tor
 User tor
 
 Log notice stdout
 RunAsDaemon 0
 
 # UseBridges 1
 # Bridge xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xx
 ```
 
 2. Secure directory permissions
 ```
 chown -R tor: /usr/share/tor
 chown -R tor: /var/lib/tor
 chown -R tor: /etc/tor
 chmod -R 0700 /usr/share/tor
 chmod -R 0700 /var/lib/tor
 chmod -R 0700 /etc/tor
 ```
 
 3. Start Tor and enable it on boot
 ```
 systemctl enable --now tor.service
 ```
 
 4. Install LibreY
 https://github.com/Ahwxorg/LibreY/tree/main/docs#readme
 
 5. Edit configuration files
 In your `config.php`, uncomment and change the following options to match the port you're running Tor on.
 ```
             // CURLOPT_PROXY => "ip:port",
             // CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE => CURLPROXY_HTTP,
 ```
 
 For our configuration, they would be changed to:
 ```
             CURLOPT_PROXY => "127.0.0.1",
             CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE => CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME,
 ```
 
 
 6. Start LibreY! You can use a tool like [iftop](https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/iftop/) to make sure your LibreY instance is connecting to guard nodes or a bridge instead of Google servers.
