Oddbean new post about login | logout Using VPN doesn’t mean you have a static public IP address. It doesn’t mean you can easily configure your computer to become a server in a way that allows others to initiate a connection with it. I think Tor can give you an onion address, based on your public-key, so it remains yours even if the network changes.
Aha, I see now. It wasn't clear that it's all about hosting. Thanks for clarifying. Personally, I use ZeroTier or Wireguard for these things, but it could be interesting in some cases still. I think it still doesn't quite replace the privacy of Tor, but could be useful for convenience and/or speed of deployment for certain things.
