I suddenly get 100s of this lines and HS becomes unreachable. This happens randomly every week. restarting the tor service fixes it. [warn] Giving up on launching a rendezvous circuit to [scrubbed] for hidden service [scrubbed]

Re: [tor−onionstor−onions] INFO REQUESTED about ONION V3 DOMAIN AND HOSTING
by Jon 04 Dec '25

Hi Miki, If your goal is to keep you existing site public and ADD a .onion URL I suggest looking at: https://onionservices.torproject.org/apps/web/onionspray/tutorial/ Tor acts as a proxy so you don't need a copy of the site it can be setup to route directly to an existing site. In the generic examples of a hidden service show tor proxying to a webserver running on the same system but you can also point it at external URLs. -Jon

INFO REQUESTED about ONION V3 DOMAIN AND HOSTING
by Miki Cocco 03 Dec '25

03 Dec '25

hi I am new at Tor and wanted to know the following: - I have a site hosted on Godaddy. How can I make/get a tor onion v3 domain for my site? and how does it would work? would it be the site itself or a copy of the site? - how can I setup a .onion site with a custom domain (a copy of my site in this case) in the darkweb? will it work on linux only? would it be the domain only or the hosting too? - how do i host my own .onion site on the Tor network? do I need to make my own server somehow and somewhere? I noticed it takes Apache on linux, does this mean that the site would be hosted in a server INSIDE my own pc? definitely I am looking for a step-by-step explications on how make (duplicate a site or make a brand new one) a site domain and hosting on tor dark web. as I told I am new to tor and a bit confused, if you can let me know where I could find assistance and/or the know how thanks

Disabling "subdomains"
by shruub 04 Aug '23

04 Aug '23

Hi, as one of my hidden service's subdomains is currently being dos-ed, I would like to know if there is any way to disable the tor daemon just passing through all requests. I could also tell my reverse proxy to send a HTTP 444, but this is a little inconvinient. Afaik, the subdomain functionality isn't official, but I thought it could maybe still be possible. Best, shruub

Garbage collection of abandoned onion servers
by p13dz p13dz 18 Feb '23

18 Feb '23

Hello, We've built a solution to scale our onion server horizontally using Kubernetes horizontal autoscaler. It's basically an onionbalance & a set of wrappers to regenerate its config file depending on the set of running TorHiddenService instances. Each time we scale the set of servers up, we start new Tor onion servers on random addresses (that's what onionbalance expects), and their descriptors are then merged into the single one by onionbalance. When we delete old instances, their onion addresses are abandoned. We want to be good citizens and not to clutter Tor's DHT with abandoned records. My question basically is whether the Tor ecosystem automatically deletes abandoned descriptors or not. If yes, we can keep our system simpler. If not, we'll have to make the system stateful and try to reuse our existing onions as much as possible. Thanks.

Use onion-like domains for a regular websites and DynDNS
by Sergey Ponomarev 02 Aug '22

02 Aug '22

Hello the Tor Community, I have a proposition to build a DynDNS server that will host onion-like addresses for regular websites. And I'll appreciate any feedback, opinions and thoughts on this. I am working on a YurtPage which is a small home page server and kind of light version of NextCloud for inexperienced users. Some users already have an IP static or dynamic so their site can be directly accessed from the Internet. But still they need a domain to be independent from IP changes. Unfortunately domains are controlled by the DNS mafia and they cost money. The NameCoin's .bit domains are cool but they cost money too. So for users I'll implement a Dynamic DNS (DynDNS) so that they'll automatically receive a subdomain of mine's jkl.mn site like SomeonesYurt.jkl.mn And the user's homepage will send ping to jkl.mn so it can detect the public IP and update a DNS record. The problem is that I don't want to have a responsibility to host the DynDNS service. I may forget to renew its domain or hosting, or its server dies or I may die. And I decided to generate an onion-like address so they'll look like http://jklmnyiyjnwfc6aklubg45o4hbkvz5uu47hcwjinbihi4shcucq5aiid.jkl.mn/ I see a few advantages: * In case the jkl.mn disappears users may install a Tor Onion Service and visitors can still open the site by replacing jkl.mn to .onion in links. I'm going to install the Tor Service by default. * I don't need to store a database: a homepage may just sign its request with a private key and the DynDNS can check it and update a DNS record. * Yes, the address is not possible to remember but anyone can save a bookmark or use google to find it. Instead I'll not have cybersquatters who took all the good domains. Anyone can buy a domain and use CNAME if they wish. What do you think about this idea? Will it work? I created a project to develop it https://github.com/yurt-page/dyndns-onion but decided to consult with you first. To go further I think that the remaining problems may also be solved easily. Volontiers may start their own DynDNS servers and exchange the records with each other. The homepage sends a Ticket to any DynDNS server. The Ticket is just an encrypted IP and timestamp and anybody can decrypt it with the public key from the domain. The ticket with last time is considered as actual and every DynDNS server may return its IP. Here may be used other technologies like DHT for a quicker lookup and to be independent if the jkl.mn domain disappears. Similarly to a .bit TLD we may have .dyn that are free to anyone. But unlike .onion domains the .dyn domains are not anonymous and lookups are not blocked on DNS level and can be answered by any. I'm not an expert in DNS and TOR so please tell me if the idea is worth implementing. Regards, Sergey Ponomarev stokito.com

DDoS attack on hidden service HSDirs
by amethyst0＠riseup.net 08 Jun '22

08 Jun '22

Should I beware of an attack on the 8 HSDir of my onion service? It looks like this is a very bottleneck compared to 160 (8 HSDir * 20 Intro points) tor instances

I was wondering if it's possible to run 2 hidden services on 1 host server? Each service would be using onionbalance.
