Can you get the IP address of a service having the .onion address?
It is not possible to get the IP address of a Tor hidden service.
What is invalid onion site address?
That error message means that the site you are trying to reach is using v2 routing, which is no longer supported.
How do onion addresses work?
onion" addresses are URLs that are not listed in the public DNS record like those on the surface web. They are cryptographic hashes based on public keys. Whenever you want to connect to an onion service, the Tor network takes the cryptographic hash, decrypts it using the public key, and connects to the service.
Can ISP track Onion?
Onion routing is a sophisticated means to prevent tracking your location, but there's no such thing as perfect online anonymity. Although your internet traffic is encrypted on Tor, your ISP can still see that you're connected to Tor.
Does FBI track IP addresses?
Can the FBI track your IP address? But they general answer is "yes, they can". Once the IP has been logged (on one of your services such as dropbox) and transmitted to the police, the local police will be able to contact your ISP and obtain the address (with a warrant).
Can police track Tor users?
There is no way to track live, encrypted VPN traffic.
Using the Tor browser could be suspicious to your ISP and, therefore, to the police. However, you're not going to get in trouble just because it looks a bit suspicious.
Can service providers see Tor?
Tor Browser prevents people from knowing the websites you visit. Some entities, such as your Internet Service Provider (ISP), may be able to see that you're using Tor, but they won't know where you're going when you do.
Are Tor hidden services secure?
Yes. This is different case from communicating with a server on Internet. Because your Tor node can verify the authenticity of the hidden service private key (by using the hash from its . onion name), it is possible to securely encrypt the information end-to-end.
Should I use onion over VPN?
No. While both tools provide privacy, the Onion network uses different technology from a VPN. The Onion network is more focused on providing you with ultimate privacy. Meanwhile, a VPN focuses on both your security and privacy.
Is onion better than VPN?
Onion over VPN is safer than using Tor alone as it helps to protect against traffic correlation attacks and malware. Users are still at risk from malicious exit nodes and UDP data leaks. Tor over VPN is extremely slow and can impact your anonymity. Deciding if Onion over VPN is worth it is therefore circumstantial.
How do I find the IP address of an onion site?
onion? No, that is not directly possible. There have been attacks and exploits in the past, especially used by law enforcement, but there is no easy way to get the address. Plus if the site is done correctly, it will not have a public IP address at all.
How do I find the IP address of a Web service?
Using the DNS lookup tool
Both the ping command and nslookup command are options for finding the IP address of a website. However, the simplest way to determine the IP address of a website is through the DNS lookup tool. Go to the DNS lookup tool, type the website URL into the text entry, and click Lookup.
How do hackers find IP addresses?
Specialized IoT search engines like Rapid7 and MITRE track vulnerabilities known to specific devices. Using yet another IoT search engine like Shodan and ZoomEye, hackers can find devices connected to the internet, geolocation, port/operating system, services/host, and IP address.
Is onion better than VPN?
Onion over VPN is safer than using Tor alone as it helps to protect against traffic correlation attacks and malware. Users are still at risk from malicious exit nodes and UDP data leaks. Tor over VPN is extremely slow and can impact your anonymity. Deciding if Onion over VPN is worth it is therefore circumstantial.
Why can't I access onion sites on Tor?
V2 onion services have been deprecated since Tor Browser 11's release last year, and using them could put you at risk. What's more, by downgrading to an older version of Tor Browser you'll be missing out on many months' worth security fixes.
