Yes, android, but I would also like it to work on any terminal ideally. Thanks for the pointers. I really like the HN simplicity and I want a way to have all that it is in a tiny form factor on a as needed bases.

I recently learned about onion services and for my use case it seems perfect. My use case would be setting it up for a few friends so I don't see a reason to not use it as speed isn't really that important and ideally I can still keep it somewhat private. Also, I just don't really know of a way to setup clearnet access very easily im still new to all this and don't have a great grasp of all the ins and outs of networking.

Any terminal follows Unix Linux terminal commands. You can learn linux on freecodecamp.

Fact is that it is actually hard to setup on this phone because we going OS into OS:

> Android > Termux android terminal (pkg install package_name) > ubunutu (sudo apt install package)

Tor (onion) is great to use internet without complexity and with security.

You will need to have basic understanding of:

1. Linux commands 2. Tor (read docs or videos on how to install it) 3. Systemctl, SSH and config files of linux

good luck

I did it. It is awesome.

It's basically HN, but the entire backend is running on an old phone.
