+## Create a Tor Hidden Service
+A simple example of creating and using a Tor Hidden Service.
+
+Using ThunderHub as an example.
+
+* Install Tor:
+```
+$ sudo apt install tor
+```
+* Edit the config file:
+```
+$ sudo nano /etc/tor/torrc
+```
+* add:  
+```
+HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/thunderhub/
+HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:3010
+```
+* restart Tor:
+```
+sudo systemctl restart tor
+```
+
+* note the Hidden Service address:
+```
+sudo cat /var/lib/tor/thunderhub/hostname
+```
+* Connect over the Tor Browser.
+
+
+
+#### Notes:
+The SSL stripping attack is not applicable when the traffic does not leave the Tor network so usinga  self-hosted Hidden Service in the Tor Browser is not at risk. 
+
+Always make sure that the clearnet site you open in the Tor Browser uses SSL encryption (HTTPS).
