A question about tor detection
FrostBird347 opened this issue · 1 comments
I am aware that this application allows anonymous communication without the use of central servers through having each user host a hidden tor service, thus requiring both users to be online at the same time to communicate.
However, I have been unable to find any information on whether it is possible to tell the difference between a device connecting through the tor network and one hosting a hidden service or not.
If the former is true then accidentally leaving this program open when connecting to some networks would carry a far greater risk of raising suspicion, which could be explained away but is still undesirable.
If I'm understanding the point correctly, it's a reasonable thing to bring up in the context of tor itself. Completely fair.
However, probably outside the scope of this project.
