ok sounds good. these r mostly alltrue-istic reasons but my question is more about if it will HELP the user or possibly HURT the user if they have a choice to access the same website on the same server by regular internet or tor hidden service?? sounds like maybe at least it cant hurt >> The idea not about hiding the location of the server but protect user so >> server can't know where user comes from (yes, I can also disable >> logging) >> >> the hidden service docs advise: make sure server isn't view-able on >> regular >> internet, but isnt' there still some use? > > There is some use, see above. > > That advice is to stay anonymous. Not everyone has this goal. well it's a little bit about USER anonymous (also pausible denialbility), not server. does this still make sense? _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
