Package: tor Severity: whishlist X-Debbugs-CC: whonix-de...@whonix.org Dear Maintainer,
please enable Tor2webMode compile time option. # How? Please add to debian/control dh_auto_configure --enable-tor2web-mode And in src/or/config.c change from V(Tor2webMode, BOOL, "0"), to V(Tor2webMode, BOOL, "1"), (Should that src/or/config.c change be moved upstream?) That would allow one to use torrc option "Tor2webMode 1". # Why? This is useful on client machines in combination if the server is using HiddenServiceSingleHopMode 1 HiddenServiceNonAnonymousMode 1 Then one can get secure, fast, free onion hostname, lan network configuration independent, NAT traversal incoming ports. Very handy for sys admins. Otherwise compiling Tor oneself is rather time consuming. (Research and typing all the commands, perhaps repeating all of that.) # Security "HiddenServiceSingleHopMode 1" and "HiddenServiceNonAnonymousMode 1" are insecure options wrt anonymity, and these can be set by default. These have clear descriptions in Tor manual that these are non-anonymous and there is no way to accidentally set these options as these are not mentioned in default /etc/tor/torrc. Therefore please consider making "Tor2webMode 1" equally easy to use. Cheers, Patrick
