Will the donation dialog be served over the API? Because I use the Thunder mobile app and hardly ever go to the web interface at all.

Oh, okay, good to know it should work. I’m just a standard user, but it is something that interests me.

Okay, that shows how to make the interfaces available over the network. But is there planned functionality for making Federation work? Even if you don’t federate to clearnet domains, you could have several onion instances that could federate with each other and have a network of onion instances.

I did open an issue on the thunder application asking them if they could implement SOCKS5 proxy support in order to do the tor proxy at like 127.0.0.1:9050

I’m just a user and don’t follow the project super closely so please forgive me if this has already been addressed somewhere.

Is there any sort of JavaScript-less interface that would work properly on the Tor network with strict settings enabled? And could you set up instances only with a .onion domain? That way you don’t have to pay for a domain and you’re not at risk of having your domain yanked by ICANN, etc.

If I remember correctly, there was a mastodon instance that was using like a Pakistan domain or something like that and they yanked it.

Also, Federation between Onion and Standard Domains that way tor users would not be isolated.

My main reason for asking is that in my worldview, governments want to break encryption and break freedom of speech, if at all possible, and so the dark web is going to be more and more necessary as time goes on.

Edit: The more standard traffic we add onto the Tor network, the less able it is to be blocked or surveilled as to why somebody is using the Tor network. As an example, I send all of my signal traffic through Tor and download apps from fdroid through Tor and chat on SimpleX through Tor and quite a number of other things. Not because I need the Tor network, but just simply to be yet another person using it for standard activity

Tor hidden service

I mean, it’s obviously the only solution, right? You don’t have to pay for a domain name. You don’t have to pay for a hosted IP address. You don’t have to forward ports. You don’t have to do any of that shit. Plus, you’re on the darknet, and everything should be on the darknet. All the time.

Correct, it will be in the dark net. And it’s as secure as your web server. So I guess if your web server is set up in a very insecure manner, it would be very insecure as well. But since nobody would know the onion address besides you or anybody you give it to, it should be all right.

You add the tor repo, install tor, edit /etc/tor/torrc with hidden service info, set the port as 8080 and systemctl restart tor. Then you get a hidden service address in like /var/lib/tor/hiddenservicename/hostname. It’s a long string ending with dot onion and once you have that you just put that into the tor browser.

Glad you got it working, but you could have hosted it with a tor hidden service and not had to pay for a public IP address and shit.
