Consider a Tor Onion Service with client side certs for auth

Not 100% sure what you mean, but if you’re suggesting making it accessible publicly only through tor, that’s a bad idea (not to mention the people running tor don’t recommend streaming video through it).
Tor is extremely secure. Onion Services let you auth clients with a certificate. See also how Onion Share works.
Also I don’t think Tor etiquette says not to stream video. It says not to torrent.

Hm I could be wrong on the streaming videos etiquette, I can’t remember nor can I find where I originally heard that from.
Still think it’s a bad idea though. As another reason: Won’t you have an awfully slow connection to your server (tor is already slow just to access a plain html website)?
Nah, Tor works great

Streaming videos puts a huge burden on the TOR network. Please don’t do it if you don’t need to, setting up a VPN is faster and doesn’t slow TOR down.
