Is it possible to encrypt all traffic between the last relay and my hidden service site? (I have tried to use an ssl certificate and configure tor like that: HiddenServicePort 443 127.0.0.1:443 but it don't work)

If you're running a hidden service all connections from a Tor client to it are encrypted end-to-end

  • @yohann2008 tor to regular internet connections are unencrypted from the exit point. but tor to tor connections are encrypted end to end

  • This is confusing, because the protocol shown in the address bar is http. Are you saying that .onion addresses used through tor are using a layer on top of http to encrypt requests?

As already stated you may offer your service as a hidden service in addition to the public one. That way connections using the onion address will always be encrypted.

The Tor website has a manual for configuring a hidden service.
