Re: [tor-talk] Improved sharing of .onion links on Facebook!
I really wonder what is facebook doing with tor! They offer an entry page at https://www.facebookcorewwwi.onion/ Every time I tried to signup, thay block the process until I submit a phone number to get a "confirmation sms"! Moreover, trying to enter a FB account opened "normally" (without proxy), no way! They even blocked my account immediately :) What is the interest offering to use TOR?!

Re: [tor-talk] Improved sharing of .onion links on Facebook!
Well, my account "blocked" means that they asked me an official DOCUMENT! As Photoshop is a good friend, no problem, but... Something else we tested on FB: They quite often ask people to "upload a photo" (of them), until what the account is blocked. We noticed that: If we send a picture picked up on FB profiles (other persons so, even from other countries etc), it is always declined and the account IS locked for good. If we send the same picture but with modifications (photoshop again), it is generally accepted and the account is unlocked. It seems, so, that FB is comparing the submitted photo with the photos that have already been uploaded. MD5 has or more probably something more sophisticated... Considering this and the FB reputation about privacy violations, I even suspect that they are making lists of people using TOR! In short, better connect from a public place with a spoofed MAC address ;) On 15/6/2017 22:16, Alec Muffett wrote: On 15 June 2017 at 20:03, xxx wrote: I really wonder what is facebook doing with tor!

I wrote this to explain why, ages ago; short version -- it's not about anonymity: https://www.facebook.com/notes/protect-the-graph/making-connections-to-facebook-more-secure/1526085754298237/ Also, possibly you got "blocked" but I suspect that it's more likely that you got "checkpointed"; for people who may be interested: - if there's a box asking you to answer some questions because something apparently weird is going on, IT'S NOT A BLOCK. - A "block" is when the site tells you "go away and never come back" without recourse. - If it's just asking you questions / to jump through hoops, it's trying to protect your account in case you got hacked. - Eventually it will learn. - The funniest story was the time that Runa Sandvik got checkpointed because Runa tried logging in one day *without* using Tor / the FB Onion: https://twitter.com/runasand/status/728001665018802176 - More at https://twitter.com/AlecMuffett/status/757678012812894208 - alec -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
[tor-talk] Tor in Russia, blocked from Nov 1st?
Greetings! Seems that TOR will be blocked from Nov 1st in Russia. Any info on this? In such a case, will it be possible to use Tor through "bridges"?

Re: [tor-talk] Tor in Russia, blocked from Nov 1st?
Well, seems quite easy to get the bridges IPs every 10 minutes and to block them...

[tor-talk] Onion website on "usual" server
Hello, I am running a dedicated box (Centos 7-64) with a few usual domains and websites. Is it possible to host an .onion website there? If so, how to setup, is it safe (so that the .onion site IP won't be disclosed)?

[tor-talk] TOR problem with onion service setup
I want to setup an onion service on a VPS. For this I installed a fresh Centos6 copy, replaced Apache by Nginx, got TOR from Epel repo. As long that I simply run Tor, all is right. But when I modify the tor.rc to setup an onion service, problems begin. In tor.rc I unchecked the lines HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/ HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:80 Then: # service tor restart Checking if tor configuration is validMay 15 19:01:11.001 [notice] Tor 0.2.9.17 (git-e057a19b74589fca) running on Linux with Libevent 2.0.21-stable, OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips and Zlib 1.2.3.
