Comment on Using Termux to create a tiny selfhosted hidden chat server with E2EE.
solrize@lemmy.ml 2 days agoI did see some onion code in the script, but didn’t figure out that it was listening on an onion port. Cool. I’m not sure of the attraction of running it on a phone, but I’ll take your word for it ;). Do you actually use it? Yeah I can see wanting to reorganize it in some ways, and maybe try to use some more standard protocols (irc?) or a subset. Does tor not already provide its own crypto?

Yeah, tor is already encrypting between each node and since both clients are connecting to the rendezvous point inside of the Tor network it should already theoretically be encrypted E2E… The other crypto is just in case that’s not true… why not add other layers of encryption if you can.
No I don’t use it it’s kinda just a lil hobby. Nice to know I can depoly worldwide anonymous coms from my pocket though.
I have better more usable methods
