I have no particular interest in finding a specific, non-random URL (How do Hidden Services get .onion domains that aren't random?), but would like to reset an onion address for a given hidden service. What is the best way to get a new, random .onion address?

There is a HiddenServiceDir
in your torrc
. After you have stopped the Tor process, delete the above-mentioned directory and restart Tor. Now the directory contains two new files: hostname
and private_key
. The name in hostname
is now different from the previous version.
