locating hidden services

Hi again, Learning about hidden services - what are the methods (if any) for Tor users to locate a hidden service? Is there a way to search for them, get the info from the directory servers, etc? Say for example that I have a web server running as a hidden service and I only want people from

Tor and HTTPS

Hi, Sorry if this sounds a bit stupid but looking for some clarification. I've read that using HTTPS over Tor actually reduces your security due to the bypass of your local proxy (Privoxy, etc) - is this the case for all usage or does it justs affect hidden services? For example, if I am acces

Re: Privoxy usage?

I have heard of the "TCP over TCP" issue but have not had any bad experiences so far. I am currently using both TCP and UDP-based VPN systems and while the TCP-based one is a bit slower, it still seems very stable for applications such as Terminal Services, FTP, http(s), etc. I do notice prob

Re: Privoxy usage?

I have several options - what's the issue w/ using TCP? What vendor would you suggest? Thanks - Nd On Sat, 18 Aug 2007 08:14:36 -0400 Juliusz Chroboczek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> what may be useful is the transparent TCP proxy support in Tor >for >> ensuring the VPN connections are going

Privoxy usage?

Hi, Question - if you are only connecting to encrypted remote resources by IP address, do you need to use Privoxy? Scenario: VPN client-side gateway that is pushing traffic through Tor to a VPN server at a destination known to the VPN client by its IP and not by DNS. Tor not being utilized (o

Re: contradicting log entries regarding ExcludeNodes

OK, so probably showing my ignorance here but if you want to exclude a server that is not yours, is there any way to get the "key" information for that server or is that sensitive to the owner of that box? Thanks... On Tue, 14 Aug 2007 10:29:57 -0400 Roger Dingledine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrot

Re: Question about the vulnerability

Roger, thank you for your response - I did follow that thread when it came out and upgraded my systems. The question I have is not really about the vulnerability but more of a general operational one - in what situations is the control port actually used? If I am not running a Tor server but us

Question about the vulnerability

Hi, Forgive my ignorance, but when exactly does the Control Port come into play? Is a Tor user who simply uses Tor in client mode vulnerable? I've seen the Control Port info in the man pages but that doesn't really answer my question - can anyone advise? Thanks... -- Physical Therapy Certifi

Re: Directory servers for a subset of Tor routers

Thanks Comrade - so blocking connections from other countries...is that something that is built into Tor or would I need a 3rd party solution? I think i already saw how to prevent the dir server from advertising itself to the rest of the Tor network in the man pages (yeah, really wouldn't want

Directory servers for a subset of Tor routers

Hi, Question, is it possible to set up private directory servers and make available only a portion of the available Tor routers? For example, if you only wanted to make routers that were online in the U.K. or France available to users who got their info from these dir servers, can that be done
