FAQ

• What is this?

  encrypting.host is a uploading website focused on privacy. All uploaded files are being encrypted using AES-256-CBC automatically.

• I want to take a file of your site, where to contact?

  As encrypting.host is operating under german laws, please send me a valid takedown request. Childporn etc. will be pulled offline, no questions asked.

• Is encrypting.host an ip logger?

  In short: No. To extend that: encrypting.host is not logging IPs, geolocations or any other unnecessary information. We only log which user updated which file, without the encryption key. Sadly, you have to trust me with this.

• How to set encrypting.host up with ShareX?

  Copy the following content to your clipboard:

  {
  "Version": "12.4.1",
  "DestinationType": "ImageUploader, TextUploader, FileUploader",
  "RequestMethod": "POST",
  "RequestURL": "https://encrypting.host/upload",
  "Body": "MultipartFormData",
  "Arguments": {
  "password": "%ra%ra%ra%ra%ra%ra%ra%ra%ra%ra%ra%ra%ra%ra",
  "userKey": "your-user-key",
  "urlStyle": "embed",
  "domains": "[\"encrypting.host\", \"womenare.properties\", \"sexin.church\"]",
  "color": "ffffff",
  "title": "encrypting.host",
  "fakelink": "ftp://discord.gg"
  },
  "FileFormName": "file"
  }

  Go into ShareX > Destinations > Custom Uploader Settings, then click Import > From Clipboard.

  On the left side replace your-user-key you got and change the domains to your preferred ones found at https://encrypting.host/#domains.

  You can also select domains by category, rather than the domain itself:
  For all domains use [""].
  For normal, non-offensive and non-depressed domains use ["normal"].
  For offensive domains use ["offensive"].
  For depressive domains use ["sad"].
  You can also combine these tags.

  The urlStyle has 4 types: embed, query, param and specifically for discord fakelink.
  There are some extra parts for embed and fakelink..
  For embed there is title, which will be the title of the embed and site, and color should be a hex value without the #.
  For fakelink the is fakelink, this field should be set to the word or link you want it to be. For links include the protocol in front.

  Now select encrypting.host as your image, text and file uploader, then select Custom Uploader at ShareX > Destinations for image, text and file uploader.
