Hi All!

If somebody wants to try to connect to Fidonet over a TOR hidden service then please let me know.
I will send you an onion address.

In regards to how to connect, should be as easy as running this:
torsocks binkd
and then configure the onion address as my DNS name.

Should work with IPv4 or IPv6 as transport.

or via -pipe option

node 1:2/3 -pipe "ncat --proxy-type socks5 --proxy 127.0.0.1:9050 abc123.onion 24554"


or with a perl hook

file tor-hook.pl:

sub on_call
{
if ($config{"tor-proxy"}) {
foreach (split(/;/, $hosts)) {
if ($_ =~ /\.onion\z/) {
$hosts = $_;
$socks = $config{"tor-proxy"};
Log(3, "Cpt. Hook: using tor-proxy $socks for .onion address");
}
}
}
return 1;
}


binkd.cfg:
perl-hooks /etc/binkd/tor-hook.pl
perl-var tor-proxy 127.0.0.1:9050/

node 1:2/3 abc123.onion

or via -pipe option
node 1:2/3 -pipe "ncat --proxy-type socks5 --proxy 127.0.0.1:9050 abc123.onion 24554"

Thanx for the testing opportunity.
Seems to work fine!
