Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list like so, adjusting the suite/components
appropriately for your system:
- deb tor+http://httpredir.debian.org/debian unstable main
- deb-src tor+http://httpredir.debian.org/debian unstable main
+ deb tor+http://deb.debian.org/debian unstable main
+ deb-src tor+http://deb.debian.org/debian unstable main
-Note the use of httpredir.debian.org so that a mirror close to your exit node
-will be automatically chosen.
+Note that [deb.debian.org](https://deb.debian.org/) is backed by a set of
+commercial [CDN](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_delivery_network)s,
+so that you will likely be served by one of their servers close (in network
+terms) to the exit node of your connection automatically.

+You can of course use any other Debian mirror from the extensive [mirror
+list](https://debian.org/mirror/list), but that might result in a connection
+"across the globe" if the choosen exit node is far away from the mirror causing
+slower connection speeds.
Alternatively, if you have the Tor onion service address of a Debian
-mirror, you can use that:
+mirror, you can use that to have your traffic never leave the Tor network:
deb tor+http://<long string>.onion/debian unstable main
deb-src tor+http://<long string>.onion/debian unstable main
