<p>
The way that RSS reading is set up on Freedombone gives you strong reading privacy. Not only is there onion routing between you and the server but also between the server and the source of the RSS feed. The only down side is that many RSS feeds are still http only, and so could be vulnerable to injection attacks, but it's expected that more of this will go to https in the foreseeable future due to a combination of growing recognition of security issues and systems like Let's Encrypt which make obtaining certificates much easier.

<h2 id="sec-2">Finding the onion address</h2>
<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-2">
<p>
See the control panel for the RSS reader onion address.
</p>
<div class="org-src-container">
<pre class="src src-bash">ssh username@domainname -p 2222
</pre>
</div>
<p>
Select <b>Administrator controls</b> then select the <b>About</b> screen.
</p>
<p>
The RSS reader is accessible only via an onion address. This provides a reasonable degree of reading privacy, making it difficult for passive adversaries such as governments, corporations or criminals to create lists of sites which you are subscribed to.
</p>
<p>
To set up the system open <a href="http://rss_reader_onion_address">http://rss_reader_onion_address</a> and log in with username <b>admin</b> and the password which can be found within the <b>Passwords</b> section of the <b>Administrator control panel</b>. You can then select the <b>Actions</b> menu and begin adding your feeds.

</div>
<div id="outline-container-sec-3" class="outline-2">
<h2 id="sec-3">On mobile</h2>
<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-3">
<p>
To access the RSS reader from a mobile device you can install a Tor compatible browser such as OrFox, then use the mobile onion address shown on the <b>About</b> screen of the <b>Administrator controls</b>. Remember to add the site to the NoScript whitelist, and you may also need to turn HTTPS Everywhere off.
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
A note for the paranoid is that on mobile devices you get redirected to a different onion address which is specially set up for the mobile interface, so don't be alarmed that it looks like your connection is being hijacked.
</p>

<div id="outline-container-sec-4" class="outline-2">
<h2 id="sec-4">With Emacs</h2>
<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-4">
<p>
If you are an Emacs user then you can also read your RSS feeds via the <a href="https://github.com/dk87/avandu">Avandu</a> mode.
</p>
<p>
Add the following to your configuration, changing the address and password as appropriate.
</p>
<div class="org-src-container">
<pre class="src src-emacs-lisp">(<span class="org-keyword">setq</span> avandu-tt-rss-api-url <span class="org-string">"http://rss_reader_onion_address/api/"</span>
avandu-user <span class="org-string">"admin"</span>
avandu-password <span class="org-string">"mypassword"</span>)
</pre>
</div>
<p>
If you don't already have Emacs set up to route through Tor then also add the following:
</p>
<div class="org-src-container">
<pre class="src src-emacs-lisp">(<span class="org-keyword">setq</span> socks-noproxy '(<span class="org-string">"localhost"</span>))
(<span class="org-keyword">require</span> '<span class="org-constant">socks</span>)
(<span class="org-keyword">require</span> '<span class="org-constant">tls</span>)
(<span class="org-keyword">setq</span> socks-server (list <span class="org-string">"Tor socks"</span> <span class="org-string">"localhost"</span> 9050 5))
</pre>
</div>
<p>
And ensure that the Tor daemon is installed. On a debian based system:
</p>
<div class="org-src-container">
<pre class="src src-bash">sudo apt-get install tor
</pre>
</div>
<p>
or on Arch/Parabola:
</p>
<div class="org-src-container">
<pre class="src src-bash">sudo pacman -S tor
sudo systemctl enable tor
sudo systemctl start tor
</pre>
</div>
