See [this](https://blog.torproject.org/facebook-hidden-services-and-https-certs) blog post from the Tor Project about why HTTPS certificates do not add value. Since you cannot get an SSL cert for an onion domain, you will also experience certificate errors when trying to use your Mastodon instance. A Tor developer has more recently spelled out the reasons why serving a Tor service over HTTPS is not beneficial for most use cases [here](https://matt.traudt.xyz/posts/2017-12-02-dont-https-your-onions/). +This section assumes that you want to expose your instance on both Tor and the public Internet *simultaneously*. -The solution is to serve your Mastodon instance over HTTP, but only for Tor.

This option is mostly useful for large companies that can produce their own certificates with their own company information. There is no Certificate Authority (CA) that provides them [for free](https://community.torproject.org/onion-services/advanced/https/), and there is also [a blog post from the Tor Project](https://blog.torproject.org/facebook-hidden-services-and-https-certs) that explains why HTTPS certificates are not really beneficial for security. On the other hand, Mastodon uses a lot of redirects to the HTTPS version of your site, where the presence of a validated certificate may make it easier for your users to use your instance on Tor without having to manually remove the `https://` prefix in URLs. + +In this section, we will go over how to serve your Mastodon instance over HTTP, but for Tor **only**.
