Hey Everyone,

I wanted to share **Privhost**. We want to push towards more tor adoption and I was not able to find any public infrastructure provider that supports tor connections. Several other projects such as Bitcoin focus on giving the user more privacy with providing encrypted tor connections. We want to raise the tor adoption on polkadot and kusama.

Check out our public tor nodes and let me know if you build something cool:

This service has been running for around a year now, people are using the .onion ws endpoints, however, due to resources we have decided to start to decommission privhost and we ask that people switch to other node rpc providers.

These .onion endpoints will be decommissioned:

```auto
Edgeware
edgewa6oemcv5tjb6zigwmhgkqv2vdrlxydl5u3hgzpz5bhs4zyps6qd.onion
edgewb7zvc37qpv6qer4ov7amxpa3ixbuq6h2yacljtyluknuh6jp7ad.onion

Polkadot:

polkafdibzp25b4ur3bbj5ift24oxtayrcbf24mhvlixb72yil6lzwyd.onion

Kusama:

kusamaegara2ercguyqclhyo2vbdjleifudgubmzrphzjq2wspknx7ad.onion 

```

The Kusama nodes has had the most traffic out of all the nodes, if you are using any of the above .onion endpoints, please switch to something else as they all will stop working soon

Thank you for the contribution. It would be great to have more people running privacy services in the future.
