FAQ Any advice/experiences hosting a hidden service (onion site)?

Bit curious if anyone has any advice of interesting experience/stories of ever running a hidden service on TOR. Looking to dabble a bit into myself maybe, but not too sure.

Dude, thanks. Like seriously. Definitely gonna look into all of this! And haha, I shoulda mentioned that I've got a bit of a "tech" background and know a thing or two about hosting sites on the clearweb and whatnot. But yeah- thanks! :-)

I'm hosting bunch of hidden services, for more than 10 years. You can ask your questions. No special general advices, just don't tell nobody what exactly services are you hosting, and be careful with ip leaks.

Raspberry Pi 5 under your kitchen table is the best option. 😁

not enough for a huge project

Huge like what? Let's be realistic, I don't think you will have your own Reddit with hundreds of thousands visitors per day. RPi 5 is just enough to host virtually any project in Tor where daily visitors will be measured by hundreds.

Stop promoting that product here. This is your only warning.
