It will eventually switch GnuPG into a TOR mode to route all network access via TOR (an anonymity network). +@item --keyserver @code{name} +@opindex keyserver +Use @code{name} as your keyserver. This is the server that @command{gpg} +communicates with to receive keys, send keys, and search for +keys. The format of the @code{name} is a URI: +`scheme:[//]keyservername[:port]' The scheme is the type of keyserver: +"hkp" for the HTTP (or compatible) keyservers, "ldap" for the LDAP +keyservers, or "mailto" for the Graff email keyserver. Note that your +particular installation of GnuPG may have other keyserver types +available as well. Keyserver schemes are case-insensitive. After the +keyserver name, optional keyserver configuration options may be +provided. These are the same as the global @option{--keyserver-options} +from below, but apply only to this particular keyserver. + +Most keyservers synchronize with each other, so there is generally no +need to send keys to more than one server. The keyserver +@code{hkp://keys.gnupg.net} uses round robin DNS to give a different +keyserver each time you use it. + @item --disable-ldap @opindex disable-ldap Entirely disables the use of LDAP. |
