OnionBalance – Load balancing and redundancy for Tor hidden services
- Daviey 10y agoI'd like to understand how this differs from using more known tools such as: https://gist.github.com/brutuscat/2519840 https://gist.github.com/brutuscat/2519840
- chatmasta 10y agoThat uses Tor as a forward proxy (rotating for scraping for example). OP uses it as reverse proxy, I.e. Hidden service.
- devishard 10y agoQuestion: it seems to me like you could get a long ways with a hidden service simply by placing the same key on multiple servers with disparate physical locations. Wouldn't this provide a sort of randomized load balancing, since different connections would find different servers with the correct key first? I can definitely see the need for more sophisticated load balancing if your usage gets large, but for smaller services it seems like this would give a good amount of scalability. I'm not well-versed in how these work though, so I'm curious.
- al_chemist 10y agoAs far as I know, you cannot have two servers with same key.
