### Set up a systemd service
* make a separate process for every connected Hidden Service to avoid restarting every connection when a service added or removed.
Suggestion for naming the service is to put the PORT used on the VPS into the name: `tor2ip<PORT>`
Suggestion for naming the service is to put the VPS_PORT used on the VPS into the name: `tor2ip<VPS_PORT>`
* create the service file:
`# nano /etc/systemd/system/tor2ip9236.service`
* Paste the following and fill in:
* the PORT you want to use on the VPS (facing the public) - in this example it is 9326.
* the Tor Hidden Service Address (----YOUR-ONION-ADDRESS---.onion)
* the VPS_PORT you want to use (facing the public) - in this example: 9326.
* the TOR_HIDDEN_SERVICE_ADDRESS.onion
* get the address with:
* `lncli getinfo` for LND port 9735
* sudo cat /mnt/hdd/tor/SERVICE_NAME/hostname
* The PORT the Hidden Service is using - in this example it is 9735
* `sudo cat /mnt/hdd/tor/SERVICE_NAME/hostname`
* The TOR_PORT the Hidden Service is using - in this example: 9735

Setting up this Tor-to-IP tunnel service is now complete. You can carry on adding other services using different ports on the VPS.
You should be able access the ports/services of the host computer through the IP:PORT of the VPS.
For example for LND in the example:
You should be able access the ports/services of the host computer through: VPS_IP_ADDRESS:VPS_PORT.
