-  * Hosting an anonymized site. This is usually the first thing that comes to mind, and something we'll demonstrate in a sec.
-  * Providing an endpoint Tor users can reach without exiting the Tor network. This eliminates the risk of an unreliable or malicious exit getting in the way. A great example of this is `Facebook <http://arstechnica.com/security/2014/10/facebook-offers-hidden-service-to-tor-users/>`_.

 Hidden services can be `configured through your torrc <https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en#_hidden_service_options>`_, but Stem also provides some methods to easily work with them...
