New sort of hidden support domains and other news

V3 concealed expert services

With quite a few people wondering why all the limited v2 hidden company area names stopped doing the job, we will attempt to reveal this in this shorter but detailed posting.

So what does an .onion name do?

It will let you hook up to a hidden web page on the Tor network. But in purchase for that to perform, the concealed site has to authenticate possession of the hidden web pages domain to the Tor network.

Now the difficulty with the short domain names was, that the cryptographic strength of the underlying math at the rear of them was not sturdy enough.

The long domain names have a more complicated cryptography guiding them and are thus additional safe and more difficult to spoof.

So it makes no sense to record them anymore.

We will rather add additional new concealed expert services in the potential, so verify back from time to time.
