    are you saying that if a site is entirely hosted on TOR then no information makes it to an endpoint?

    Basically yeah. My understanding is that exit nodes are special and using them is a vulnerability, but you only use exit nodes to access clearnet sites from Tor, and you are less vulnerable if you aren’t doing that and rather going to sites with .onion urls. Which, unfortunately I can’t find one for this website, but I’m thinking they’d probably consider making one if they can’t maintain any clearnet domains anymore.

      I don’t think that’s true and a very cursory google suggests (to me at least) that im right and I don’t have time to parse a bunch of sources right now. So idk if anyone else could chime in with specific technical details or a source id appreciate it.

        Tor is used by many countries, both users and governments. The reason for Tor is that it’s not searchable: you need an exact, password-like URL to reach, for example, login pages. This ensures there is no chance another country can spy on or access those communications.
