  1. You *DO* need Tor by DrYak · · Score: 1 · on The Pirate Bay Sails Back To Its .ORG Domain (cnet.com)

    Note: It's a Tor .onion service.

    Thus you need your tor installation up and running.

    But once it's running, yes it does work.
    And can't directly be taken down.

    Note: Some onion proxies like http://tor2web.org/ *DO* block ThePirateBay. It's not ThePirateBay server being down, it's the relay service refusing it on some legal grounds.

    You need your actual tor node to be running and access it directly without relying on external 3rd party relays.

  2. Tor onion router end point by Norny · · Score: 3, Interesting · on DuckDuckGo: Illusion of Privacy

    Name me another major web search engine with an official Tor onion endpoint. DDG is the only one I know.

  3. Re:Need to decentralize by cultiv8 · · Score: 1 · on NZBMatrix Closes Their Website

    The Tor2Web project is pursuing just this. See the .onion nym system proposal specifically, one of the more exciting projects towards anonymity and decentralization on the internet (short of a decentralized dns system, but I digress).

    you understand the /. post links to a pastebin post which gave a link to the entire email archive, right?

  5. Will always be circumvented by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on British ISP Ordered To Block Links to Pirate Site

    Newzbin hosts small portions of metadata and not the actual binaries. This means it can be _trivially_ circumvented using tor.

    It can even be done in a sort of auto-whitelist fashion using cascaded proxy approach: https://eiiggesgzqlfbmpd.tor2web.org/ (SFW, tor hidden service to a text-only howto).

  6. Re:Interesting. by Linsaran · · Score: 1 · on Bitcoin Used For the Narcotics Trade

    Here you go, granted it's a Tor hidden service, so you'll either have to use TOR or a tor2web proxy like this to read it, but you wanted an example.

  7. Re:not the right code... by qirtaiba · · Score: 1 · on Sony Lawyers Expand Dragnet, Targeting Anybody Posting PS3 Hack

    The best page to link to is hosted on Tor, where Sony won't be able to discover where it is located or by whom. Also, this link is the only one that contains Geohot's source code, as well as his binary: http://wdnqg3ehh3hvalpe.onion/ (obviously this only works if you're connected to the Tor network), otherwise: https://wdnqg3ehh3hvalpe.tor2web.org/

  8. Tor by Khopesh · · Score: 1 · on UK ISPs Consider VPN To Avoid Piracy Crackdown

    You had the answer in your examples of what can be done on a simple DSL connection; Tor facilitates this exactly. Users can't be traced if users are required to use tor, with any configuration of exit nodes (all customers, some customers, ISP-level, third-party). If all customers are required to use tor as exit nodes, traffic bounces around the network and jumps out anywhere, perhaps not even in the same ISP. There would be no way to know where traffic comes from (with respect to IP addresses, anyway), so the logs would be useless.

    As to requiring NAT or IPv6, that doesn't matter as much as long as tor were a requirement. Adding tor to a properly-run non-NAT'd system would allow technical users to run servers without issues (the servers wouldn't need to use tor, though this would result in logs). Perhaps if ISPs using tor becomes a common thing, hosting .onion sites wouldn't be that problematic (they are already available outside tor through proxies like tor2web).
