Anonymous Pastebin on Tor
Paste services are essential tools for sharing text snippets, code, and documents quickly. Mainstream pastebins like Pastebin.com log IP addresses and comply with takedown requests. AnubizHost provides Tor hosting for anonymous paste services where content and users remain private.

Why an Anonymous Pastebin on Tor?
Paste services are used by developers, researchers, journalists, and whistleblowers to share text content quickly. However, mainstream paste services create significant privacy risks:
- IP logging — Services like Pastebin.com record the IP address of every poster and viewer
- Content removal — Pastes can be removed by the platform operator under legal or political pressure
- Law enforcement access — Paste services regularly hand over user data in response to legal requests
- No encryption — Most paste services store content in plaintext on their servers
A Tor-hosted pastebin eliminates these issues. Users post and read content through the Tor network, the .onion address hides the server's location, and client-side encryption ensures even the server operator cannot read paste contents.
Recommended Paste Software
Deploy proven paste software on AnubizHost's Tor infrastructure:
- PrivateBin — The gold standard for encrypted paste services. Content is encrypted in the browser before upload using AES-256-GCM. The server never sees plaintext. Supports self-destructing pastes, password protection, and syntax highlighting.
- Stikked — A simple, clean paste application with syntax highlighting and API support. Lightweight and easy to maintain.
- Hastebin (haste-server) — A minimalist paste service focused on speed and simplicity. Open-source with a clean API for programmatic paste creation.
- Custom solutions — Build your own paste service with any web framework. Our Tor hosting handles the networking layer.
All paste deployments include automatic paste expiration, storage quotas, and rate limiting to prevent abuse and manage disk usage.
Configuration and Security
AnubizHost configures your Tor paste service with security best practices:
- Client-side encryption — PrivateBin encrypts content in the browser; the decryption key is in the URL fragment (never sent to the server)
- Automatic expiration — Configure pastes to self-destruct after a set time period (1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, etc.)
- Burn after reading — One-time pastes that are deleted after a single view
- Rate limiting — Prevent spam and abuse using
nginxrate limiting and application-level throttling - Storage management — Cron jobs to clean up expired pastes and prevent disk exhaustion
- No JavaScript fallback — PrivateBin works without JavaScript using server-side decryption as a fallback
