In this article I will show you how I securely connect to my remote machines without having to configure port forwarding.
Requirements: A computer “server” (running linux) A internet connection Another computer to connect to your server (running linux) Why? If you want to access your server without portforwarding in a extremely secure fashion you will want to follow this tutorial. You will be connecting to the server via tor which will make it harder for anyone to find the url of the server and ill show you how to setup keybased auth for even more security!
If I understand this correctly, you’re still forwarding it a port from one network to another. It’s just in this case, instead of a port on the internet, it’s a port on the TOR network. Which is still just as open, but also a massive calling card for anyone trolling around the TOR network to things to hack.

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.
