Ask HN: Tor network, can it be used for anything else?

Sure, you can create a server with a foot in the regular internet and one in TOR. for that matter create two.

Receive https traffic at your Internet address, , then ship across TOR from one onion address to your other TOR connection then back on the Internet.

This is useful for hiding metadata, most importantly, you will have to work to protect the user's client to internet web server end. And protect your ssl keys from NSLs or government sponsored hacking.

Yeah you can. you can make Tor only service that is accessible only via Tor network using Tor handles (URLs), or use Tor network to send requests via it.
