    Which is still just as open, but also a massive calling card for anyone trolling around the TOR network

    Luckily, it is no longer possible to easily sniff the new v3 addresses by deploying a malicious relay. Any attack to even reveal the existence of a hidden service would require a very specialized setup. And we’re just talking discovery, not the ability to connect and attack the actual service running there.

      Yea, I don’t think this is necessarily a horrible idea. It’s just that this doesn’t really provide any extra security, but even the first line of this blog is talking about security. This will absolutely provide privacy via pretty good traffic obfuscation, but you still need good security configuration of the exposed service.
