| I had a look at the protocol and have a question. How does one go about setting up a .onion mirror? Since the server doesn't know what hostname has used to access it, how does it know what host to use in links? |

| |
| Do you just host a mirror on a different port and point the .onion at that? |

| Aargh. I can't fix my typos. I'll have to pay closer attention in the future |

| Hey, I think the bitreich.org gophers have a lot of instruction and tooling for this, such as someodd's burrow helper program. 1/2 |

| 2/2 in terms of tor / onion, you host a gopher on localhost on your server, and there is a config file that tells tor to make that port accessible over onion. You have to provide the cryptographic key (there are instructions) |

| Oh I see, I read 48 a little further. I guess according to the RFC you would need to put the onion address in the server position. Normally gopher servers fill that in for you, I guess there's a flag to set somewhere. |

| Yeah, my question was about how the server knows which hostname to use in the links, since there's nothing in the rrquest to tell it which was used. |

| The only way I can see to do it is to have the .onion version listening on a different port. |

| Both of those links seem to be broken. :( Also, how did you add a link? |
