In the spirit of supporting as many individuals as possible, Tox websites are now accessible as a hidden service via Tor.

The hidden service mirror has been stripped of Piwik tracking, and forms of Javascript, and soon we'll label outbound links.

i2p support will also follow soon.

I think this is a matter of coincidence. The lock and chat bubble leads itself to a familiar look. I'm pretty sure you aren't the first person to think of such a concept, and neither are we.

Besides, the icon was made by an anonymous person so it's not really like we can blame anyone.

Website owner here: Currently getting a 50k pps DDoS. It'll be over shortly, I hope.

EDIT: It's done.
