How does hidden service work?
Any hidden service requires that any citizen executes the rendezvous protocol to contact the service. This protocol guarantees that the citizen accesses the service without having knowledge of server's IP address. While the citizen is using Tor, the service does not know citizen's IP address.
Does the person running the hidden service know the identity of the client sending requests to their service or are requests made to onion services anonymously explain?
onion addresses and directs you to the anonymous service sitting behind that name. Unlike with other services though, hidden services provide two-way anonymity. The server doesn't know the IP of the client, like with any service you access over Tor, but the client also doesn't know the IP of the server.
