Using InfluxDB, Telegraf, Grafana & Tor .Onion’s To Build a Surveillance Resistant Distributed Metrics Infrastructure
At Ablative Hosting we prefer to use .onion networking everywhere we can. .onion’s ensure that our web properties can never be blocked, our employees can trust the end-to-end nature of the connectivity, our endpoints aren’t exposed in Certificate Transparency Logs. Most importantly; Tor prevents adversaries from tapping the upstream of our metrics or log servers and trivially discovering the IP addresses of all our other servers (or employees) when they connect.
