Every site should have an onion/TOR address
August 26, 2025•145 words
A long time ago, not every website had SSL/TLS.
Only corporate sites, e-commerces, etc...
Due to search engine performance, cyber security and other topics, everyone now has it.
Mainly because Let's Encrypt has created a free service for this.
But to have an address on the tor network, inform the user's browser and put it in the footer of the site, there are a few points to consider:
- does not cost;
- does not require infrastructure;
- does not spend money;
- does not generate an impact;
AND above all: DOES NOT COST ANYTHING for those who already have a web site/service up and running.
But unfortunately it doesn't improve Google's ranking, so it's going to be hard to get there... but let's keep pushing.
Oh, and .onion v3 with certificate (https).
Configure onion address in apache/nginx:
