Re: Hidden service behind NAT?

[dora san <dorasan2003@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, I reach that hidden service, and it takes about 15 sec.  I left my hidden sercice, a webserver, ran overnight and it still didn't work.  BTW, the browser client timeout quicker than 15 sec and privoxy gave me a 503 error.

 

I'll be patiently waiting for software updates for TOR.  Freenet, i2p, MUTE, etc are all impractical in terms of speed.

 

By hardware store I mean shops where you can get nuts and bolts (Home Depot), and they sell wireless routers too.

 

Though I won't try hidden services for the time being, I have a question though.  How can you keep the same hostname, when you have to close TOR and restart?
