Zeronet: [IDEA] access `.onion` urls

Created on 14 Nov 2019  路  6Comments  路  Source: HelloZeroNet/ZeroNet

Describe the solution you'd like
So since Tor is integrated with Zeronet, i was thinking that we could simply add a proxy settings (reverse proxy with the webserver software where the 'header's are set to the actual .onion address?)

where you can access a .onion address with something like
127.0.0.1:43110/tors/www.facebookcorewwwi.onion for HTTPS and
127.0.0.1:43110/tor/www.facebookcorewwwi.onion for HTTP

yes i used facebooks onion address as an example

Describe alternatives you've considered
Meh its just a thought i had, can be closed if you like and think its too stupid

Hm, tbh I have no idea how it'd work with ZeroNet. ZeroNet is decentralized while Tor onion sites are centralized, so it'd be difficult to merge them.

I was thinking it would just be a way to access Tor Sites (via the sandboxing) easily

Hm, I don't really see the point in using ZeroNet instead of Tor Browser in this case. Tor Browser has always provided better sandboxing than ZeroNet. This doesn't mean that ZeroNet is unsafe, but it means that ZeroNet is not truly anonymous.

it's really out of the scope of the project

understandably, it was just a small idea i thought of while trying to make accessing tor easier

Also I think most of the sites won't work as a subdirectory as they have absolute referrences in the html.
