I think there's some confusion on this. Tor2Web is a tool to run *as a server for others* that allows people not using Tor (ie, Tor Browser) to access services with the .onion TLD (which looks like it now is in motion with the IETF). It's about providing a service, and is a configure option (off) on the FreeBSD port, so that your Tor server can provide Tor2Web services to other users. Yes, the source IP does not gain anonymity, but that's the point of it. The destination site, residing on the Tor network, does ostensibly retain anonymity. It's for those *without* Tor to access .onion TLDs through a Tor2Web enabled service. It is not a broken by default service in its function. The above-quoted web site description is deceptive and misses the point completely. g
