+sbws scanner tor configuration
+-------------------------------
+
+At the time of writing, sbws sets the following torrc options for the following
+reasons when it launches Tor. You can find them in ``sbws/globals.py`` and
+``sbws/util/stem.py``.
+
+- ``SocksPort auto``: To proxy requests over Tor.
+- ``CookieAuthentication 1``: The easiest way to authenticate to Tor.
+- ``LearnCircuitBuildTimeout 0``: To keep circuit build timeouts static.
+- ``CircuitBuildTimeout 10``: To give up on struggling circuits sooner.
+- ``UseEntryGuards 0``: To avoid path bias warnings.
+- ``DataDirectory ...``: To set Tor's datadirectory to be inside sbws's.
+- ``PidFile ...``: To make it easier to tell if Tor is running.
+- ``ControlSocket ...``: To control Tor.
+- ``Log notice ...``: To know what the heck is going on.
