Would it be possible for webmasters to register their hidden services with gateways like onion.to or Tor2web in such a way that instead of having to deal with addresses like salmagundi487345.onion.to, they could receive a shorter name like mycoolblog.onion.to which would then redirect to the longer hidden-service address?
Perhaps this has already been considered/discarded/implemented without my realizing. It might mean a greater level of work than the gateway operators want to take on, and many webmasters may not want to communicate with gateways in this fashion, but it could be useful to people who want to distribute a memorable address for their site while retaining the benefits of a hidden service (e.g. not having to register an actual domain name with the attendant whois woes, server location withheld). Am I missing something? Would this violate the 'pure proxy' principle currently claimed by these gateway services? -- tor-talk mailing list - [email protected] To unsusbscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
