Since ENS is a decentralized naming service that runs as a set of smart-contracts on the Ethereum blockchain, we believe ENS can be a helpful tool to solve this problem. onion addresses has been an ongoing problem for many years, given the high bar for security. For example, to access the onion version of the privacy-centric search engine Duck Duck Go, in your Tor Browser (this will not work in a normal browser) you go to. onion,” but otherwise the rest of the address is randomly generated. You can also set up websites that are only accessible via the Tor network, called onion services. You can access it with the Tor Browser, managed by the Tor Project. The Tor network is a part of the Internet that hides the IP addresses of users. Hit enter, and then wait for ENS, MetaMask, and the Tor Browser to work their magic and… voilà, you should be at the respective Tor.
And then simply type or paste in one of those names in the web address bar, including the final “/”. Make sure you have the browser add-on MetaMask installed. To keep it easy to remember, they are all just the name of the service + tor.eth. Also be sure to include the “/” at the end of the address or else MetaMask won’t recognize it. Note : To use these names, you must be using the Tor Browser with the browser add-on MetaMask. But to demonstrate this feature and to get people using it, we have set up some ENS names to resolve to useful. onion address ( how to do that is explained here). You can read about how to use this new functionality here, and how secure it is here.Īnyone can set up an ENS name to resolve to a Tor. This is just another way ENS is supporting things beyond the Ethereum ecosystem. As previously announced, the Ethereum Name Service (ENS) now supports the resolution of Tor.
