A better description for this is 'proxying' for wikipedia via onion frontends. Some years ago a number of us were actually 'mirroring' and importing wikipedia's dumps into read-only onionland instances of mediawiki. Most seem to have passed perhaps due to dataset growth, lack of endangered status, moving on, etc. Clearnet services establishing their own onion / i2p / cjdns / whatever, is an interesting idea that's becoming more popular since the 2010's. However there is bandwidth impact to the network compared to the usual 'client -> exit -> service' 3-node 1-circuit exit case. - Hosting the onion on your service interfaces costs double+ to the network over the standard exit case. - Should never run an onion just to route that back out over exits... that costs triple+ over the standard exit case. If the services are also running their tor daemons as non-exit relays with bandwidth provided back at around 3:1 of what they handle from tor, that seems more balanced. Adjustment is to be made of course for the preferred single-onion services method which has recently become prominent. -- 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
