How are Tor addresses resolved?
Since Tor still uses IP addresses, you still need to do DNS resolution to browse the web over Tor. There are two common methods to resolve a domain name when using Tor: Resolve the name directly, then talk to the IP address through Tor; Ask a Tor exit relay to resolve the name publicly and connect to the IP.
Can you suggest ways in which a Tor can be used by people?
Usage. Tor enables its users to surf the Internet, chat and send instant messages anonymously, and is used by a wide variety of people for both licit and illicit purposes.
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.
What is onion v3?
Onion v3 is the new next-generation Tor Onion Services specification. The most noticable change is the increase in address length, however Onion v3 uses better cryptography, ECC (eliptic curve cryptography) rather than RSA, and has an improved hidden service directory protocol.
