| 10 | Over the last few years, the Tor Project has developed a [new Tor Hidden | |
| 11 | Services protocol](https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/NextGenOnions). | |
| 12 | It has a few improvements over the previous version, including better | |
| 13 | cryptography using SHA3 and ed25519. | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | We've added a new Tor Hidden Service address to [our instructions for connecting | |
| 16 | to freenode via Tor](https://freenode.net/kb/answer/chat#accessing-freenode-via-tor) | |
| 17 | that uses the new protocol. The new address is | |
| 18 | ||

| 21 | If you're using a recent version of Tor (0.3.5 or newer) to connect to | |
| 22 | freenode, you should be able to use the new service by changing from the old | |
| 23 | address to the new one in your client configuration. The old address will | |
| 24 | continue to work for the forseeable future, but is likely to be deprecated | |
| 25 | eventually as the Tor ecosystem changes. |
