Hidden Service "Generic SOCKS Error"
by Darcy Marshall 22 Jul '16

22 Jul '16

I recently set up a hidden service. The address for this hidden service is spydaroo7gtsipwm.onion. When I first start Tor on the server, it will work fine. Then after a while, maybe after a few visits or a few hours, it stops working. Both apache2 and Tor continue to run, but Tor Browser just acts as though it doesn't exist (cannot connect). Logs show errors of "general socks error". Tor2web services like onion.to also stop working and give generic SOCKS error. The way to fix this is to restart Tor on the server. It then works, but eventually will return to having a socks error. Does anyone know a reason for why this is happening or how to fix it? — Spydar007 http://spydar007.com PGP Key ID: D3364A0B

hiddenserviceauthorizeclient stealth vs basic techinal details
by Joy 19 Jul '16

Hey everyone, The Tor manual has some basic information about the difference between the stealth and basic authorization options, but can anyone point me to the actual technical differences between these options? What exactly does the stealth mode do to hide service activity from unauthorized clients and why is this less scalable? Thanks, Joy

Automatically redirecting to hidden service
by laethust＠nonkly.com 08 Jul '16

Are there any security risks in using PHP to automatically redirect a user to the hidden service URL of your site? So if someone went to my site, example.com, using the Tor Browser, I would automatically redirect them to the onion address for example.com.

You could use Whonix as well. (Not supported or created by the Tor Project) https://whonix.org/ There is still opportunity for info leakage, so its best to not store identifying info inside the workstation if you are running a hidden service. You can also set Tor-level cookie authentication if your service is private. See the Tor manual for that.

Hidden Service IP Addresses
by phiaslai＠nonkly.com 03 Jul '16

03 Jul '16

Can a hidden service expose it's IP address? Can I run a hidden service from a server that has DNS pointing to it for a domain? Can I run a hidden service from the same server as a tor relay (which openly exposes the IP address)?
