Sites hosted behind Tor do not reveal your external IP address.
- devwastaken 5y agoNot directly, you still have to contact nodes to get there. Through traffic analysis we can determine the path, or simply the feds can expand their number of nodes. Feds already own a good chunk of the network. Bandwidth and servers are expensive after all. Or even easier make phishing sites that grab your IP through any number of browser technologies. Torbrowser won't be around for long when Firefox becomes another chromium skin.
- heartbeats 5y agoThis is not an accurate description of anything. - Traffic analysis only works for a global adversary - Feds would need to control a very sizeable chunk of the network to deanonymize your HS, and you can use your own nodes (also see Vanguard) - "phishing attacks that grab your IP through any number of browser technologies" obviously do not apply to servers - If Firefox would end, Tor would obviously have no choice but to re-write it all for Chromium.
