 @Anark Karabey @NotMtth He wants a Tor-only instance that can federate with the whole Fediverse, but it's not possible. Not possible without a bridge

No word from him since we discussed that.

 @silverpill @NotMtth I thought Tor-only instances (.onion ones) could federate with the clearnet ones over the Tor exit nodes. Did I understand this wrong?

 @Anark Karabey @NotMtth Tor-only instances can only federate with clearnet instances connected to Tor network (like yours). When server receives an ActivityPub message, it must verify the signature, but if signer's public key is served by an onion service and the server is not connected to Tor, verification fails.
