Onion services' location and IP address are hidden, making it difficult for adversaries to censor them or identify their operators. These onion services operate on the TOR ("dark web") network and fully anonymize both users (clients) and the websites (servers) they visit.
All traffic between TOR users and onion services is end-to-end encrypted, so you do not need to worry about connecting over HTTPS. Because they have strong encryption, onion sites are safe in terms of privacy protection. Onion sites can also only be accessed using the TOR browser from torproject.org or from Brave.
Connections to clearnet sites have to go through exit relays. While it is wrong for them to do this and they'll get removed from the network when caught, exit relays are in a position to log and modify traffic. As such, setting up an onion mirror on the TOR network protects your users, but it also protects you. Onion services do not use exits and are end-to-end encrypted. They don't need HTTPS for its encryption and its impossible for connections to be man-in-the-middled.
Of course! Simply specify this in your order notes, and then contact us so we can help you get up and running. All that's required is firewalling off other HTTP traffic while allowing our server(s) in. This will ensure that your website is available only on the TOR network and not on the clearnet.
As you can see from the above, the only communication left unsecured (labeled "not anonymous") is between the TOR network's exit relay and a clearnet (public) website. Our services can potentially solve this issue of the unsecured communication in two ways. The first option is to set up a TOR mirror of your website, which would actually reside within the TOR network. This ensures that the end-user is ALWAYS getting data coming from within a highly encrypted network, making it the safest option. It is important to note that because of the nature of the TOR protocol, the TOR network itself does not contain IP addresses of the either clients or servers.
The second option would be to set up a clearnet mirror for your website. Note that this will not make your website anonymous to TOR or clearnet users, though it does provide more than standard privacy protection. By using a series of reverse proxy servers, data from your website will travel through this network of reverse proxies, until finally being passed along to the end user, either directly or through the TOR network. This process of bouncing the HTTP response back and forth between several reverse proxy servers is somewhat analogous to what the TOR network does with its guards and relay nodes. For maximum security, SSL is used by all of our reverse proxy servers.
As you can see, your website remains completely isolated from end users, who connect to your website via a series of reverse proxy servers, which are used to obscure both the physical and digital addresses of your website. We typically use between 2-5 reverse proxies and maintain a worldwide network. Please email us with any preferences you may have.
Please send an email to support[at]darkmirror.net or hi[at]darkmirror.net and we will be glad to assist you. Unfortunately with the advent of TOR came many immature pranksters who insist on DDOS'ing. We will be happy to assist you. If you have already placed an order, please make sure to specify this so we can locate your order.
