Onion Courier Mixnet is online

Hi all,

The Onion Courier Tor Hidden Services Mixnet is in service with currently five mix nodes.

At a later date a GUI client will be available and a Usenet and email gateway.

Please note: When doing pings with the CLI client and you see for
a mix node n/a this mostly means that timeouts occured during the
connection to a Tor Hidden Service, but does not mean that the mix
node is down. In that case simply use another chain, or try again
a little later.

I hope that you like the Onion Courier Mixnet!

Usenet gateway is running :slight_smile: You will find the onion address in the README at the example message section for the client.

Added a handy utility for those who use later an email or the Usenet gateway and are in need of UTF-8 characters in the From: or Subject: header.

All Mixnet components have been updated, so in case you already use the Onion Courier Mixnet, please update to be compatible. Added also ocsend for sending large files directly to an ochome server, without using mix nodes.

5

Cover Traffic Generator (covergen) added to the repository, so that you can use it for your own Onion Courier Mixnet.

6

Added ocemail-server to the repository, which can be run as open relay (not recommended) or with a whitelist or blacklist with your postfix MTA, so that users can send emails to clear net email addresses, from within the Onion Courier Mixnet.
