-## Tor Hidden Service (.onion)
-
-Tor is bundled in `docker-compose.yml` and preconfigured as long as COMPOSE_PROFILES=f0ckm-tor is set with a hidden service pointing to the application (`f0ckm:1337`).
-
-When running `docker compose up -d`, Tor automatically generates a `.onion` address for your node. You can find your onion address by running:
-
-```bash
-cat ./f0ckm-data/tor/f0ckm_hs/hostname
-```
-
-### Automatic Onion-Location Header
-
-To advertise your `.onion` address to Tor Browser users visiting your clearnet site, add your `.onion` address to `config.json`:
-
-```json
-"main": {
-  "onion": "http://yourgeneratedaddress.onion"
-}
