How is it comapre to zeronet ?
- icebraining 7y agoZeronet is sites-over-bittorrent: you connect to people seeding the site, download it, and then you also become a seeder for other people. By default everyone can tell you (that is, your public IP) are serving a particular site, but you can use Tor to make it much harder to find out what is your IP. OnionShare is just a regular webserver (every visitor accesses the site by connecting to a single machine: yours), but it automatically only serves it behind Tor, for the same reasons as above. The advantage of this seems to be mostly simplicity (both in implementation and in setting Tor and such up) and possibly speed of first download for lightly used sites. The advantage of Zeronet is that more people can serve the site, even if the original machine is offline or overwhelmed.
