V3 hidden services

With many people today questioning why all the limited v2 concealed provider domain names stopped doing work, we will try out to describe this in this brief but detailed report.

So what does an .onion name do?

It will let you hook up to a hidden web site on the Tor community. But in get for that to get the job done, the hidden web page has to authenticate possession of the hidden web pages area to the Tor network.

Now the issue with the brief area names was, that the cryptographic toughness of the fundamental math behind them was not solid sufficient.

The lengthy domain names have a a lot more sophisticated cryptography powering them and are thus a lot more secure and more durable to spoof.

The know-how of the Tor network also received upgraded and servers running the v3 domains have a far better DDOS defense and other positive aspects.

The Tor job looks to carry on to enhance the concealed web-site network, immediately after several years of not doing substantially to support admins of concealed expert services to mitigate DDOS assaults or deanonymization attempts.

We switched to a new server yet again

As you could have seen, in the recent weeks the web page of the Hidden Wiki was not as steady as it utilised to be.

We have mitigated this and moved the web-site to a new server with a lot more resources and a lot quicker network.

We hope the downtime we had did not cause far too much trouble for any one.

And we will make sure that in the long run we retain the website as steady as it was in the past.

We would like to thank our company for
Some other information about inbound links on the Hidden Wiki

The dim internet is consistently shifting, and with it the Concealed Wiki.

We therefore made the decision to fall the aged v2 .onion sites from the major site.

Due to the fact the last Tor browser update, the outdated v2 web pages are no for a longer time supported and will quit functioning.

So it makes no sense to checklist them any longer.

We will rather increase extra new hidden services in the foreseeable future, so test again from time to time.
