I was genuinely curious if this could work so I did some quick searching, and BTCPayServer has an entire page explaining how: https://docs.btcpayserver.org/Deployment/ReverseProxyToTor/

From my view, this is useful (in non Bitcoin related circumstances) when you have something you’d like to host from your own internet, but would also like this something to be accessible by users that aren’t on TOR (using a clear net domain)

You can use this to make IPs to your database or other services obscure from malicious hosts, since Nginx can proxy over TCP or obviously HTTP if you want to host a website). This probably wouldn’t be suitable for a forum or a large scale project since TORs speed isn’t exactly consistent, and it may in general get messy, but it’s always nice to see that things like this are possible, and theres likely atleast one website you’ve used have have at one point used a setup similar to this (maybe)

User -> Clearnet Host (cockballs.com) (assume they’re spying on your connections for the FBI) -> TOR (peeeeeenis.onion) -> ???

Similarly, Cock.li’s founder VC setup a similar system using TOR so that he can replicate Cock.li’s database to a secret server to achieve PITR: https://vc.gg/blog/announcing-the-iron-dong-hidden-service-backup-system.html

TOR is pretty cool :)

Dope thanks for sharing bro that all seems pretty simple to setup. will give it a try nice find :))

Blah blah, all this proxy nonsense, why hide?

With brave's Tor browser you can do anything man, without getting traced.

I always thought about this but unsure about domain integration. Thanks for sharing this OP
