• What's best for torrents/P2P? Tor? VPN? Both?

  For more direct transfers through Tor, there is also OnionShare. Source: about 1 year ago

• onion webpages

  As one person already said, it all depends on what you want to do with it. Want to set up a blog? You can do that at home. Want to set up something interactive where people log in, etc. But you want it to be secure and private? Invest in a low-cost hosted server a VPS. Want to just send or receive files anonymously? I would suggest onionshare. Source: about 1 year ago

• Peer to peer method for file transfers and messaging

  OnionShare is a multi-purpose tool that allows you to send and receive files and messages over Tor. I think this might be more aligned with your purposes, but with the caveat that this is a Tor-specific option (if I'm not mistaken). Source: over 1 year ago

• Terraform for Tor Onion Services

  By default, it'll install the Onionshare utility to help with launching/managing some of the most common use cases for onion services.

• Session vs. Briar

  Unfortunately, Signal use mobile number to sign up, so it can’t be anonymous. In this case I recommend to use: - Briar (if you want to be completely anonymous and private) - OnionShare (if you want to host your own disposable chat) - Tempmail.plus (if you don’t need to have long term communication with sender (it can send local emails)) - Treema (if you want to have balance with privacy and convince).

• Copy-pasta backup (What to expect)

  For Tor specifically**: Over half of onion websites are legal/benign, with Facebook being the largest. There's also Twitter, BBC, NY Times, Buzzfeed, and many other normal sites. Additionally, there's community ran alt-frontends for Youtube, Twitter, Reddit, and Wikipedia. Outside of websites there's programs like OnionShare and Ricochet Refresh, which are for file sharing and instant messaging. Source: about 2 years ago

  I've never used Onionshare, but it would allow untraceable file transfers bidirectionally through any (permitting) corporate firewall, and keybridging/mitm cert rewrites could not see into the session. https://onionshare.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
