Nice! An interesting Orbot feature to have is making QR Codes of
authenticated Hidden Service info so mobile devices can easily add
each
other to a trusted network.
That is a great idea. I am thinking of writing a module for the Home
Assistant platform that would handle the tor install and setup, and it
could autogenerate this QRcode as well.
Any thoughts on a format? torhs://clientname:authcookie@foo.onion looks
decent.
