Tor Onion Service?

Open kkarhan opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

If possible, provide a native v3 onion domain under which wsend.net is reachable.

I don't know anything about this but I'm interested in learning more, do you have some type of guide that you can point me to?

Well, to put it into short and simple terms: Tor acts as a form of proxy network.

Luckily, the Tor Project has a really nice writeup on how to do it here: https://community.torproject.org/onion-services/setup/

Similar services like Oshi https://oshi.at/ do already operate their .onion [as can be found at https://oshi.at/onion ] which is http://5ety7tpkim5me6eszuwcje7bmy25pbtrjtue7zkqqgziljwqy3rrikqd.onion as of writin.

Furthermore there's a best-practise writeup on riseup https://riseup.net/en/security/network-security/tor/onionservices-best-practices as well as a load-balancer called OnionBalance to avoid congestion: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/onionbalance/

Yours faithfully, Kevin Karhan

Would love to see an alternative to Oshi on Tor since the hands-off approach to moderation seems to attract certain kinds of unwanted users...
