https://emerproxy.xyz - using OpenNIC DNS to resolve Emercoin domain names is now also accessible via a Tor network hidden_service.
- Tor .onion address : eivd4nanrtr2qkk6.onion (experimental)
https is also functional for the .onion address, however, Let's Encrypt do not currently sign .onion address SSL certificates. So, you will receive a certificate warning in TBB when first using https. Of course, the 4096-bit encryption is functional (and secure) if you accept the certificate warning. N.B.
...Untrusted Connection
> Technical Details
eivd4nanrtr2qkk6.onion uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is only valid for the following names:
www.emerproxy.xyz,
emerproxy.xyz (Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)
> I Understand the Risks
Add Exception...
As the hidden_service .onion (proxy) is also running on a TLD (and corresponding clearnet IP address) it is ofc possible to verify that the SSL certificate is the same. So, the certificate warning can be considered somewhat irrelevant, as nothing 'bad' is happening here.
However, this service is highly experimental (alpha) and should not be relied upon for strong anonymity or privacy.
Users should understand that this hidden_service is not actually hidden! Also, that this
six-hop .exit circuit is not recognised as an official Tor exit node IP, due to it being a 'hidden_service', running on a Tor Bridge (i.e. in principal a non-exit Tor relay).
Such as service is useful, as (secure / anonymous) access to alternative domain names is not ordinarily feasible whilst using the Tor network. Thus, it might be useful to security services, for example, in checking the content of active or registered .emc domains etc.,
...
Please do not all run to 'test' this service at once, as the server currently requires a RAM and core upgrade, due to increasing popularity as a general encrypted web based proxy.
N.B. This service is also beta testing emcLNX rotator advertising (currently with a single pop and static links), as I wanted to try and demonstrate some potential issues with that system. The pop-ad can be avoided by making your first website click, using only the second mouse button.
This service is using the Surrogafier proxy script. So, it does not currently support flash. It also requires javascript (to some degree) to function correctly, which can effect the users anonymity. Again, this service is not really intended for 'regular' privacy browsing of the internet, but is useful in checking .emc domains.
