Did you read the blog post about this feature? https://blog.torproject.org/blog/whats-new-tor-0298 It specifically says: > Because this removes the anonymity aspect of the service, we took extra > precautions so that it's very difficult to enable a single onion by mistake. > In your torrc file, here is how you do it: > HiddenServiceNonAnonymousMode 1 > HiddenServiceSingleHopMode 1 So it requires explicitly enabling not one, but two separate settings in a lock-step. How does that not solve any "mistake" concern? Or if you want to be 400% safe from enabling this, then conversely, you can add to your config: > HiddenServiceNonAnonymousMode 0 > HiddenServiceSingleHopMode 0 -- With respect, Roman -- 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
