[tor-talk] Hiding the presence of hidden services

> Is there any good way to hide the presence of services?

See `HiddenServiceAuthorizeClient` and `HidServAuth` options in tor(1)
manpage:

   HiddenServiceAuthorizeClient auth-type client-name,client-name,...
       If configured, the hidden service is accessible for authorized
       clients only. The auth-type can either be 'basic' for a
       general-purpose authorization protocol or 'stealth' for a less
       scalable protocol that also hides service activity from
       unauthorized clients. Only clients that are listed here are
       authorized to access the hidden service. Valid client names are 1
       to 19 characters long and only use characters in A-Za-z0-9+-_ (no
       spaces). If this option is set, the hidden service is not
       accessible for clients without authorization any more. Generated
       authorization data can be found in the hostname file. Clients need
       to put this authorization data in their configuration file using
       HidServAuth.
