Comment (by cypherpunks): Replying to [comment:2 teor]: > This might be a tor browser packaging ticket instead. Sorry, you are talking about "Onion everywhere" #21952. But but shouldn't an self called OnionRouter route to Onions Anywhere ? The torrc Option will allow ALL traffic to go to onion hs not only browser users. This will work fine and transparently for example for debian repos. DNS (DoH) as Implement into new firefox. Mail Clients. Coin Nodes. Instantmessage/Chat apps. and so on. Can't we push this via maybe consensus for at least the known own addresses *.torproject.org mappings? Distinguishing the Circuits Remember that while one exit node can serve many many different clients, from Website point of view all of that traffic comes from one IP address. This pooling helps cover the malicious traffic among legitimate traffic, but isn’t essential in the security or privacy of Tor. In fact, it can potentially hurt users by exposing their traffic to bad exit nodes! Another reason is the bandwidth costs of exit node operators. This is an area that we hope this service can offer relief since it shifts traffic from exit nodes to our own servers, reducing exit node operation costs along with it. Additionally, since like Tor Browser 8.0 makes a new circuit for each hostname when connecting via an .onion alternative service, the circuit number cannot be used to link connections to two different sites together in onion space. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/21503#comment:4> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
