Use v3 hidden services for tor.

Open pexo-zn opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

Tor 0.3.5.x has been out for quite a while now and since onion services in version 3 are superior in basically every aspect, in comparison with the 'normal' .onion addresses, ZeroNet should probably use the v3 hidden services by default(or at least support them) in Tor enabled/tor always-mode.

Additional context This issue is mirrored from the GitCenter ZeroNet repository(you need to install ZeroNet to visit this link)

https://blog.torproject.org/v2-deprecation-timeline

  1. September 15th, 2020 0.4.4.x: Tor will start warning onion service operators and clients that v2 is deprecated and will be obsolete in version 0.4.6.

  2. July 15th, 2021 0.4.6.x: Tor will no longer support v2 and support will be removed from the code base.

  3. October 15th, 2021 We will release new Tor client stable versions for all supported series that will disable v2.

A friend fixed this issue with a separate patch. Maybe you can integrate it in the official release :)

this has been resolved in all major forks , zeronet-enhanced, ZeroNetX and zeronet-conservancy . those users who hesitate to upgrade to a full-on fork are still recommended to use https://github.com/zeronet-conservancy/zeronet-conservancy/releases/tag/v0.7.3 (you can audit code changes yourself @ https://github.com/HelloZeroNet/ZeroNet/compare/py3...zeronet-conservancy:v0.7.3) or the patch above to stay connected to modern tor nodes
