I need info on two subjects.
How to get a Gemini domain name. I don't want a clearnet domain name. I'm also afraid I have to talk to a human to get one. We need a no trust solution, like Tor onion addresses. Is there one?
Can we get Gemini to work over Tor? It's fun to play naive culture hacker in quasi retro land here on Gemini, but the truth is we are mired in information war. Anonymity counts. Anybody know about Gemini+Tor? Thanks.

The torsocks wrapper tries to intercept all attempts to reach the network and reroute them over Tor, including DNS queries, so running Lagrange with it shouldn’t be leaky · 2 months ago
@chime_23 I don't know, but you could probably check it somehow using tcpdump · 5 months ago
@falschdenker 'torsocks lagrange' worked. Does anyone know if Lagrange leaks DNS this way? · 5 months ago
@chime_23 just run 'torsocks lagrange' from a terminal while having tor(not the tor browser!) running in the background. Make sure to turn off the proxy settings first. · 5 months ago
@chime_23 How about Lagrange with torsocks?
I think that you can also use torsocks, if you can use tor. · 5 months ago
@tamatama Tried to reach the address you gave, but could not figure it out. Using Lagrange and put in Privoxy localhost:8118 into all proxy fields, but no luck. What do you advise to get access? · 5 months ago
Yes, we can get Gemini to work over Tor.

How about a gemini hosting service via tor onion?

http s://github.com/xvxx/phetch is a Gopher client that seems to do Gemini (?) and runs over Tor. But it's CLI only.
By "classic" names I guess you mean ICAAN domain names you buy from GoDaddy? That's not great. But I guess it's obvious. Gemini isn't an overlay network, just a protocol. I would like to see Gemini working over a network with its own namespace. · 5 months ago
Gemini domain names are "classic" domain names, the sames you would use for ping, ssh, https, http, ftp, ftps, sftp, dns, gopher, minecraft servers, irc, ntp, and many others.
If you client supports SOCKS proxy, you can use tor's SOCKS proxy to go through Tor, or you can use some other mean to get your packets through Tor.
Another way would be to use a client that supports Tor natively, but I don't know of any. · 5 months ago
