Intensify gopher-over-tor usage | |
=============================== | |
These days it's common practice to post "plain" gopher links (like | |
gopher://kroovy.de). But within the scope of our Gopher Onion | |
Initiative, we should intensify the use of gopher://*.onion URIs. | |
Programs like Evil_Bob's paste-service[1] can easily changed to produce | |
*.onion URIs. | |
Of course there might be some cases, in which it's not that easy to | |
access the tor network. For example if you're in a restricted network, | |
or aren't able to use your own computer. | |
Also we will have to think about how to handle .onion URIs when using a | |
gopherproxy: | |
Even if the gopherproxy would be an onion-service we would break the | |
end-to-end encryption which a user might not expect. | |
Still I think the default should become a .onion link. | |
