Hello, so i’m implementing a tor simulation using multiple vms and now to emulate access to hidden services, i need to create a hidden directory. I did not find anywhere how to create it, does anyone know how, or is this feasible?
What do you exactly mean by ‘hidden directory’?
The documentation has everything you need to set up a hidden service.
The HSDir which stores and serves descriptors for hidden services.
You don’t need to set that up. That is handled by relays that earn the HSDir flag.
More info here [tor-relays] Setting a relay as an HSDirectory?
My simulation is an isolated one. However, my directory authority is not able to create consensus and the exit, entry and middle nodes are unable to create circuits. Has anyone done an isolated private tor network?
Interesting, as I am looking to do something similar - reviving an old site which I was a fan of years ago (Clubs In Crisis) but on the Dark Web using Word Press.
Hope that your project is successful!
