If I understand this correctly, you’re still forwarding it a port from one network to another. It’s just in this case, instead of a port on the internet, it’s a port on the TOR network. Which is still just as open, but also a massive calling card for anyone trolling around the TOR network to things to hack.

Didn’t see your comment until after I responded, but yes. This is what is happening. It’s stupid.

Luckily, it is no longer possible to easily sniff the new v3 addresses by deploying a malicious relay. Any attack to even reveal the existence of a hidden service would require a very specialized setup. And we’re just talking discovery, not the ability to connect and attack the actual service running there.
