Onion sites vs onion services vs hidden services
by Alison Macrina 06 May '16

Hi all, Colin (phoul) and I started working on the support team docs a few weeks ago, and it brought to our attention just how much onion sites/onion services/hidden services are still being used interchangeably. Since this is confusing, we checked in with folks about which one is preferred, and onion sites seems to be the clear favorite. However, internally and on Twitter, I still see us using onion services (and worse, hidden services). So, I want to propose that we choose onion sites or onion services once and for all (I'm in favor of the former because most users have no idea what is meant by "services"; it sounds too vague). Then, whenever we see somewhere on torproject.org or any of our documentation or whatever that still reads hidden services or onion services, that we kill it with fire. Thanks for reading, Alison -- Alison Macrina Library Freedom Project libraryfreedomproject.org PGP: https://libraryfreedomproject.org/contact/

AuthDirBadExitCCs still in effect?
by David Fifield 04 May '16

04 May '16

Tickets #4207 and #4923 allow authorities to set the {Invalid,BadExit} flag, or reject relays, based on their country code. https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en#AuthDirBadExitCCs https://bugs.torproject.org/4923#comment:14 says that 4 years ago, authorities were configured to BadExit relays in Iran and Syria. Are these restrictions still in effect? Is there a way to see what authorities have set the AuthDir{BadExit,Invalid,Reject}CCs options? Or would you have to infer it based on the votes on individual relays?
