So this is at best exactly as secure as visiting wikipedia directly in a TOR browser? TOR itself operates by routing packets through a hidden layer so that the exit node which talks to the end site doesn't know who is the requestor, just a hidden node address to send data back to. Here he is essentially operating an exit node that only talks to wikipedia.
- wybiral 9y agoThat's how it sounded to me too. Besides that, what's the advantage of having Wikipedia as an onion vs visiting the site from Tor over HTTPS? Wouldn't that mean you're just adding this onion proxy to your circle of trust and hoping they aren't giving you altered articles or logging accessed articles? How is that better than accessing Wikipedia directly (via Tor and HTTPS)?
- jacobush 9y agoWith aggressive caching it could generate less traffic to wikipedia. So something like it could be marginally useful, at least for reading wikipedia.
