Suggest Trustworthy Tor Hidden Services as Time Sources for sdwdate

I have added:

  • systemli main website
  • security in a box website

The comment field is wrong. It should contain an archived link to a clearnet website referencing the onion domain. systemli.org does not directly mention its onion domain. https://www.systemli.org/service/onion/ does.

If securityinabox.org has no similar page, please web archive its securityheaders.com output. https://securityheaders.com/?q=securityinabox.org&followRedirects=on contains its onion.

Could you fix that please?

Sure,Done.

There are still a lot of v2 onions referenced in the code for sdwdate purposes. Looks like time is getting short to replace all those with trustworthy v3 onion domains.

Onion Service version 2 deprecation timeline | The Tor Project

Here is our planned deprecation timeline:

  1. September 15th, 2020
    0.4.4.x: Tor will start warning onion service operators and clients that v2 is deprecated and will be obsolete in version 0.4.6.

  2. July 15th, 2021
    0.4.6.x: Tor will no longer support v2 and support will be removed from the code base.

  3. October 15th, 2021
    We will release new Tor client stable versions for all supported series that will disable v2.

i will try to communicate with these sources before one month of the last announced date. once new stable tor going to be released we can easily clean all onion v2 left out there.

Most v2 links are broken and will break soon, so they should be removed from sdwdate as soon as possible.

Since we’re now getting this in Tor 0.4.5.8 →

[WARN] Warning! You’ve just connected to a v2 onion address. These addresses are deprecated for security reasons, and are no longer supported in Tor. Please encourage the site operator to upgrade. For more information see Onion Service version 2 deprecation timeline | The Tor Project

This reinforces the need to get rid of our v2 onions in sdwdate ASAP. I believe that Tor 0.4.6 will block them completely and that release isn’t too far away (July?).

Correct me if I am wrong…

Removed all onion v2s. Links to git soon.

This link looks suspicious with its behavior?

once you open it then it will redirect you to clearnet version.

Removed all onion v2s. Updated those onion v2 to onion v3 where I could find a onion v3. But we lost many onion time sources.

Indeed. That is weird. Removed.
