I'm not sure what you mean by this. > Maybe it boils down to the question whether a node that serves a > Hidden service has to be a public Tor node. If it has to be public, it > spoils the IP. Does "node that serves a Hidden service" mean the machine that's running the web server or whatever, or the machine that's serving as its Tor guard? Normally, machines running .onion web servers _never_ reveal their public IP addresses, and indeed, shouldn't even have them. Guards for .onion server are typically public guards. However, you can use your own bridge, and not publish it. > Moreover, can I make a Tor node to only serve the Hidden service and > not to relay regular Tor traffic?

You can just not tell anyone about it, and so it will only serve as a guard for your .onion. Also, just to be clear, it's a bad idea to run an .onion web server on the same machine as a Tor relay, even a private guard. > Thanks for your help in advance, > MegaBrutal > -- 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
