What is OnionShare?
OnionShare is an open-source tool that allows users to securely and anonymously share files, host websites, and chat with others using the Tor network. It creates temporary onion services for direct peer-to-peer communication, eliminating the need for centralized servers and protecting user privacy from surveillance.
Journalists, activists, whistleblowers, and privacy-conscious individuals who need to exchange sensitive information or host content anonymously without relying on third-party platforms.
