The hidden service (on Tor) for this site has been migrated to gabriel262me3lgv3w7xohtesg3laoojmtye644pwirhdm73qmedmsqd.onion. The previous address was on 3ah6l32ons2mzb65rchl3uz7nrgkecfof4eey7dwmamt5fcvok4h2yad.onion so it’s nice to have a more recognizable one. I’ve set the old .onion to redirect to the new one so there shouldn’t be any issues for visitors. I’m not sure how RSS readers handle 301 redirects, but I assume anyone who pulls RSS via Tor can figure this out.

mkp224o

The documentation on the Tor Project website recommends mkp224o to generate vanity addresses. The tool generates as many .onion keys as possible and saves matching domains to a folder. The longer your desired prefix, (called a filter) the longer it’s going to take to ‘find’ matching addresses. There is a feature that allows you to search for multiple ‘filters’ at once, so it’s best to think of as many acceptable variations and alternatives as you can for longer filters.

You can simply run mkp224o yourprefferedprefix if you like, but there are a variety of useful options worth considering.

• -d {folder} puts all the generated folders into a specific location
• -f {filter file} matches ‘filters’ in a file, one per line
• -S {seconds} prints statistics every x seconds, such as how many addresses are searched per second.

How to generate your own vanity address(es) for your own Tor Service

1. Install mkp224o
2. Create a list of your desired filters in a file.
3. Run mkp244o -f filters_file -d vanity_addrs -s 360
4. Move your favorite .onion keys files (eg. to /var/lib/tor/yourdomain)
5. Reconfigure torrc to use your new keys file(s)
6. (Optional) Make sure to update your Onion-Location on the clearweb!
