How Do Tor Users Interact With Onion Services? The Tor Project’s onion services provide a popular way of running an anonymous network service. In contrast to anonymity for clients (e.g., obfuscating a client IP address using a virtual private network), Tor onion services provide anonymity for servers, allowing a web server to obfuscate its network location (specifically, its IP address). Onion services were originally developed in 2004 and have recently seen growing numbers of both servers and users. As of June 2018, The Tor Project’s statistics count more than 100,000 onion services each day, collectively serving traffic at a rate of nearly 1 Gbps. In addition to web sites, onion services include metadata-free instant messaging and file sharing. This paper is included in the Proceedings of the 27th. August 15–17, 2018 • Baltimore, MD, USA.
