Tor Use Cases

Host a Wiki on the Tor Network

Wikis are powerful tools for collaborative knowledge building, but hosting them on the clearnet exposes contributor identities and makes content vulnerable to censorship. A Tor-hosted wiki enables anonymous collaboration on sensitive topics where contributor safety is paramount. AnubizHost provides Tor hosting optimized for wiki platforms on the .onion network.

Why Host a Wiki on Tor?

Wikis thrive on collaboration, but some knowledge bases cover topics that put contributors at risk — political dissent, corporate whistleblowing, security vulnerabilities, or censored historical events. A Tor-hosted wiki protects everyone involved:

  • Anonymous contributions — Editors connect through Tor, hiding their IP address and location
  • Censorship resistance — .onion wikis cannot be blocked by DNS filtering or IP blacklists
  • Source protection — For investigative wikis, contributor anonymity protects sources and researchers
  • No corporate surveillance — Unlike Google Docs or Notion, self-hosted wikis on Tor do not feed user data to advertising platforms

Tor-hosted wikis serve as uncensorable repositories of knowledge that governments and corporations cannot easily suppress or modify.

Supported Wiki Platforms

AnubizHost supports all major wiki platforms on Tor:

  • MediaWiki — The same software that powers Wikipedia. Supports rich formatting, templates, categories, user permissions, and full-text search. Ideal for large-scale knowledge bases.
  • DokuWiki — A lightweight wiki that stores pages as plain text files with no database required. Simple, fast, and easy to back up.
  • BookStack — A modern, structured wiki with a book/chapter/page hierarchy. Beautiful UI and easy to navigate for non-technical users.
  • Wiki.js — A modern wiki engine with Markdown support, Git-based storage, and a sleek interface. Supports multiple editors and authentication methods.
  • TiddlyWiki — A unique non-linear personal wiki delivered as a single HTML file. Perfect for individual knowledge management.

Each platform is configured for .onion access with Tor-optimized caching and security hardening applied.

Collaborative Features on Tor

Running a collaborative wiki on Tor requires careful consideration of user management and access control:

  • Anonymous accounts — Allow users to register with pseudonyms and no email verification
  • Role-based permissions — Define who can read, edit, and administer different wiki sections
  • Edit history — Track changes with full revision history and diff views, without recording IP addresses
  • Anti-vandalism — CAPTCHA for anonymous edits, page protection for sensitive articles, and automated revert tools
  • Discussion pages — Built-in talk pages (MediaWiki) or comment systems for collaborative editing discussions

For sensitive wikis, consider restricting registration to invite-only and using Tor-based authentication to verify trusted contributors.
