Package: tor Severity: whishlist X-Debbugs-CC: [email protected] Dear System Administrators,
Recent Tor alpha releases by The Tor Project are beginning to make v3 onions the default for newly created onion services. https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-0351-alpha > **Changes in version 0.3.5.1-alpha - 2018-09-18** > Major features (onion services, UI change): > For a newly created onion service, the default version is now 3. Tor still supports existing version 2 services, but the operator now needs to set "HiddenServiceVersion 2" in order to create a new version 2 service. For existing services, Tor now learns the version by reading the key file. Closes ticket 27215. In the near future, v3 onions will become ubiquitous. v3 onions provide significant security and anonymity benefits over v2 onions. Could you please consider implementing this option? It would also further cement Debian's reputation as a forward-looking, security-focused GNU/Linux distribution. Perhaps marking it as an "experimental" feature at first? v3 load balancing is not available, but hopefully soon. Thank you for your consideration.
