I am a big fan of pinkmeth hidden service ( hxxp://pinkmethuylnenlz.onion/ )
But it constantly times out. As an unix administrator, I was thinking in ways to escalate such good public services through normal clusters, and would like opinions if my approach is valid, to suggest it to the unknown author: 1) Frontend - Only 1 node. Entry point as normal "semi-hidden" hidden service with 32 guards (exposed, semi-hidden) 2) Backend - X number of nodes (escaling is here) numbers of backend hidden services with 3 guards 1) is just a relay box, nginx with reverse connection to backend hidden services, in a different structure than backends. round robin. 32 guards to handle good speed and lots of circuits. anonymity is not a requirement here. each backend hidden service is a local port in 127.0.0.1 made with torified netcat (I think there are better approaches than netcat, would like to know ) 2) apache+mysql each node, gfs filesystem (for static files) shared among nodes, replicated mysql database. I see latency as a problem here [ user -> nginx (hidden) -> apache (hidden) ], but I dont see more timeouts. thoughts? -- []s Fosforo ------------------------------------------------------------- "Se eu tiver oito horas pra cortar uma arvore, passarei seis afiando meu machado." -Abraham Lincoln ------------------------------------------------------------- -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
