V3 hidden services

With quite a few men and women wondering why all the short v2 concealed company area names stopped doing work, we will test to make clear this in this brief but comprehensive post.

So what does an .onion title do?

It will allow you link to a concealed web page on the Tor community. But in order for that to get the job done, the hidden site has to authenticate possession of the concealed web-sites area to the Tor community.

Now the problem with the limited domain names was, that the cryptographic strength of the fundamental math powering them was not solid plenty of.

The long domain names have a a lot more sophisticated cryptography guiding them and are for that reason far more secure and more durable to spoof.

The know-how of the Tor network also received upgraded and servers jogging the v3 domains have a much better DDOS protection and other benefits.

The Tor undertaking would seem to carry on to improve the hidden site network, after several years of not carrying out significantly to help admins of hidden solutions to mitigate DDOS assaults or deanonymization attempts.

We switched to a new server yet again

As you may have observed, in the the latest weeks the website of the Concealed Wiki was not as stable as it employed to be.

We have mitigated this and moved the web-site to a new server with much more assets and more rapidly network.

We hope the downtime we experienced did not trigger way too much issues for any person.

And we will make positive that in the long run we preserve the web site as stable as it was in the previous.

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

The dark world-wide-web is frequently altering, and with it the Hidden Wiki.

We consequently resolved to fall the outdated v2 .onion internet sites from the primary web page.

Given that the past Tor browser update, the previous v2 internet sites are no for a longer time supported and will stop working.

So it would make no sense to list them any longer.

We will instead incorporate much more new hidden solutions in the long run, so examine again from time to time.
