 |Basically, Tor provides a distributed network of servers or relays ("onion routers"). Users bounce their TCP streams -- web traffic, ftp, ssh, etc. -- around the network, and recipients, observers, and even the relays themselves have difficulty tracking the source of the stream.
 |
 |By default, tor will act as a client only. To help the network by providing bandwidth as a relay, change the ORPort configuration option -- see below. Please also consult the documentation on the Tor Project's website.

 commandline_options --ignore-missing-torrc => Specifies that Tor should treat a missing torrc file as though it were empty. Ordinarily, Tor does this for missing default torrc files, but not for those specified on the command line.
 commandline_options --list-deprecated-options => List all valid options that are scheduled to become obsolete in a future version. (This is a warning, not a promise.)

 |The isolation flags arguments give Tor rules for which streams received on this SocksPort are allowed to share circuits with one another. Recognized isolation flags are:
