My hidden service stop accepting traffic after a week or so
by mdrot＠sigaint.org 19 Sep '16

19 Sep '16

Hello, This place seems very quite, not sure if this is the right place to ask. I'm encountering a weird behavior from my tor daemon that's running a hidden service, after a week or two, it stops accepting any connections. And the only thing that makes it work again is a restart. I'm using Tor 0.2.8.7 Sep 19 23:12:17.607 [notice] Tor v0.2.8.7 (git-cc2f02ef17899f86) running on Linux with Libevent 2.0.21-stable, OpenSSL 1.0.1k and Zlib 1.2.8. I also see a warning like, could this be the cause ? [warn] OpenSSL version from headers does not match the version we're running with. If you get weird crashes, that might be why. (Compiled with 1000114f: OpenSSL 1.0.1t 3 May 2016; running with 100010bf: OpenSSL 1.0.1k 8 Jan 2015). Sep 19 23:12:17.607 [notice] Tor can't help you if you use it wrong! Learn how to be safe at https://www.torproject.org/download/download#warning Also found somebody complaining about the same behavior, but without any answers http://serverfault.com/questions/745572/ubuntu-14-04-tor-doesnt-restore-cir… Cheers, Md Rot

Hidden Service "Generic SOCKS Error"
by Darcy Marshall 21 Jul '16

21 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

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

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.

Re: [tor-onions] tor-onions Digest, Vol 7, Issue 2

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)?

Criteria for intro point, rendezvous point selection?
by Paul Syverson 18 Jun '16

18 Jun '16

We were trying to figure out some criteria for selecting intro points and rendezous points as well as circuits to connect to them and had some questions we couldn't determine from our poking around for answers. Does anyone know for current stable code (and, e.g., post 224 etc. if any of this is expected to change) the following? Are guards ever selected for intro points? Are exits ever selected for intro points? Are guards ever selected for rendezous points? Are exits ever selected for rendezvous points? Are client circuits to intro points selected from prebuilt circuits? If so, is the third hop an exit relay? Or is a prebuilt circuit cannibalized in some way to avoid using an exit? Are client circuits to rendezvous points selected from prebuilt circuits? If so, is the third hop an exit relay? Or is a prebuilt circuit cannibalized in some way to avoid using an exit? Fuller answers (e.g., 'Yes. guards can be selected as intro points, but only in accord with their chance of being selected as a middle relay.') and/or where to find these in documentation appreciated. If someone knowledgeable feels this is better directed at tor-dev, please let me know (or simply reply there rather than here). aloha, Paul
