[Feature Request] nym-hidden services

[milahu]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

tor-hidden services are too easy to attack for state-level actors
(i am not sharing concrete examples)

nym-hidden services could provide better security

Where does the feature fit in the Nym real estate?

core protocol

What is this solving?

currently nym is a "client only" tool
it is not possible to hide servers behind nym

Describe alternatives you've considered

tor-hidden services

Additional context

Hidden Services – We’re not currently planning to support hidden services, but that could change in the future.

i guess this has not changed

i guess helping "others" to run hidden services
can cause pressure from state-level actors
(session, signal, telegram, encrochat, ghost, VPN services, ...)
especially for a commercial service like nym
compared to non-commercial services like tor

technically, this should be trivial to implement
mostly copy-paste tor-hidden services
(rendezvous point negotiation, DHT, ...)

edit:
some of nym's advantages are already implemented in tor:
nym cover traffic = tor padding (implemented)
nym packet shuffling = tor muffler (pdf) (not implemented)
