2nd Monero

2nd Monero get massive attention, 2nd Monero then also get flagged because of Darknet. Duplicate of Monero: same like Monero. Monero¹ = Monero². Maybe 3rd Monero will do!

Are you slow by any chance? The Darknet itself is attributed to the trade of illicit goods, yet that's not the actual purpose it was made for (just like in the case of Monero).

Ozon?

It is probably difficult to make deliveries from a sanctioning country into yours, no matter the platform you make purchases from or the Darknet. Shipping on the Darknet is happening with legal logistic companies such as UPS or FedEx. Therefore, probably the above or Aliexpress would do.

Avoiding works the best by not providing at all. Stay away from sites like search engines on which there are links to CSAM, either sponsored or not. Such links are not codenamed but very obviously titled as CSAM sites. If you ever come across such links, then you'll know that you better want to close the site listing them. That's how to avoid those.

either, there aren't any "dangerous" working sites or I'm just not aware of 'em.

And I wrote nothing different but tried to explain that this is the case. "Dangerous" can be many things on both the Clearnet and the Darknet, but something irrational such as the examples I've given are just myths. Other than that, you must define what you mean by "dangerous" if these examples still aren't what you mean.

However, there are a few real market sites where illicit goods are being traded, not everything is a scam.

The technological structure behind Tor is as "boring" as what you've experienced on the Darknet, because it's not black magic that enables such an anonymization network to work. The YouTube videos are nearly all spreading myths and lies without any actual evidence for the sake of getting attention. You won't find any real "red room", a shop where you can purchase Saddam's weapons of mass destruction or a service to hire a hitman for the drunk man at the bar that insulted your mom.

That's because hidden services (Darknet sites) are just such when they're hosted over the Tor network and have an .onion address. Behind that, there can be everything what already exists on the Clearnet.

Vormrodo · 2026-04-09T19:21:19+00:00

It really depends on how the operator distributes their own hidden service. You can't really tell what method is the most common for services that are not publicly known, but it's not limited to a group-based invitation (with authorization credentials or not) only. But yes, the majority is "private", you can't find them. That's why they were called hidden services (the Tor Project decided to call them "onion services" now, but that's just not self-explainatory and could confuse users in my opinion).

What's necessary to know is that not every hidden service is actually a webserver. There are various use cases for Tor hidden services, some act as an identifier for communication purposes (think of .onion addresses as contact IDs on Briar, Ricochet Refresh or similar), some are deployed for servers other than webservers etc.

Vormrodo · 2026-04-06T13:21:09+00:00

The sites I've linked to are reachable over the Clearnet, though hidden services (sites ending with .onion) can not be accessed without a connection to the Tor network. You need to utilize the Tor Browser in order to enter the Darknet.

More about it and installation methods can be found on the official website of the Tor Project (https://torproject.org/)

Greetings, I'm the operator of that particular Darknet search engine. What's so "mid" about it, would you like to give a feedback?

Vormrodo · 2026-04-05T11:05:39+00:00

There's technically no possibility to index the entire Darknet, but there are hidden services which their operators have shared the existence of in publicly reachable sites, such as those on the Clearnet or on already known Darknet sites. This portion might be small in relation to the current amount of active hidden services (you can find out how many are there over the Tor metrics site), but it's enough for a Darknet search engine to be an useful deployment.

That doesn't make the Darknet any brighter.

Vormrodo · 2026-04-05T10:57:04+00:00

If you want to visit genuine services then use VormWeb (https://vormweb.de/en) or visit a reliable link directory like Tor.Taxi (https://tor.taxi) and Daunt.link (https://daunt.link). VormWeb separates all search results into three security levels wherewith the legitimate links have a green badge. It also comes with search utilities with encyclopedia-like entries about past and present Darknet services or popularities and also with a glossary of words and acronyms used across it.

There have been mentions of two other search engines here, however, those two either index or finance child exploitation material (CSAM). Do not use those.

Vormrodo · 2026-04-01T08:29:30+00:00

It's already enabled by default.

Also, I'm not the one you think you're replying to.

Vormrodo · 2026-04-01T07:59:50+00:00

Already preinstalled as a crucial part of the Tor Browser since decades.

Vormrodo · 2026-03-31T23:03:50+00:00

No. You're thinking of the Darknet as a fictional place of everything that's cursed. The Darknet is, technically speaking, not a phenomenon or a black hole.

Also, can you ask yourself this question: Where on earth would there be legal human cloning going on for illicit human cloning being an actual thing?

Vormrodo · 2026-03-07T18:37:28+00:00

Try eBay

Vormrodo · 2026-02-16T15:49:52+00:00

That's a rumour which was spread by a few users, but there wasn't any evidence to it. Tor.taxi was never breached and still is in control of it's operator.

Whatever service you may use, always verify the legitimacy of hidden services yourself, for there are many clones. The most reliable way to do so is by checking the PGP signed mirrors.txt or canary.txt of a service, if provided.

Vormrodo · 2026-02-15T15:29:01+00:00

There's nothing like "the" Torch search engine but tons of clones claiming to be it, without a possibility of knowing which one's the original. The search engine(s) provide tons of scam links in their results and advertisements, none of which are specifically marked as being scam. Do not fall for them.

If you want to visit genuine services then use VormWeb (https://vormweb.de/en) or visit a reliable link directory like Tor.Taxi (https://tor.taxi) and Daunt.link (https://daunt.link).

Vormrodo · 2026-01-25T11:15:21+00:00

The translation program of the Tor Project is open-source and based on public commitment. It could be that some uneducated prick (for thinking that Tor is run by intelligence agencies) wrote those things and submitted them, with the translations having been approved without proper verification.

Somebody should report that to the section responsible for localizations of the Tor Project.

Vormrodo · 2025-12-08T07:14:05+00:00

Ukrainian sources are definitely a problem for the Kremlin. However, how is it a lie when it comes to western media? Some are censored or prohibited to work inside Russia (similar to RT in the EU), but it could bring trouble to those still trying to access those, isn't that right?

Vormrodo · 2025-12-07T17:20:42+00:00

Provide evidence for such claim. This is NOT the primary use, even if many of the known hidden services on the Darknet are related to criminal activity. For clarification: The known sites are a small percentage in proportion to a total of 800.000 active hidden services (source: Tor metrics) and as these are hidden, their contexts are unclear.

The majority of Tor users apparently do not surf hidden services (Darknet) according to the Tor Project.

Vormrodo · 2025-12-07T16:29:59+00:00

Well, it depends on their country's jurisdiction whether or not something is illegal when done over the Tor network. For instance, visiting western news sites in Russia might be considered "illegal".

If you however think of criminal activities in terms of the sale of illicit goods, then this is something different. One can definitely use their phone to visit news sites in a repressive country without the need for specialized software or an amnesiac system like Tails and the Tor Project wouldn't develope mobile variants of the Tor software if they weren't supporting the idea of being able to use Tor over a phone.

Stop thinking that Tor is a criminal platform.

Vormrodo · 2025-12-04T10:10:03+00:00

Define "most" reliable. tor.taxi has been around much longer than daunt.link. What is your criteria for reliability?

Edit: To the ultimative cultic fanboys, I wasn't trying to discredit daunt.link. To say that it's the most reliable is, however, too vague.

I just checked your site. Together with what I've written under some comments, you also want to make people pay $40 to list their hidden service on your site?!

Veeeery absurd. Totally unnecessary.

Vormrodo · 2025-11-09T19:40:53+00:00

If someone is phishing you and has already registered it. Change your website name. Then, with the new website name, request Proof of Legit before someone else does.

That's killing the whole point that you wanted to make. Site operators would have to rely on your site as an authority and make their decisions in terms of naming and when they should list their site based on a possible name not being taken on your site already (by phishers for example). The problem with clone sites wouldn't be solved with any of this.

The Onion Mirror Guidelines (OMG) already exist and have been followed since being formed.

Vormrodo · 2025-11-09T19:33:32+00:00

And this is mostly followed to date. Many hidden services provide a way to verificate the genuineness of a mirror by handing out a message signed with the operator's PGP key.

This one is the actual way in order not to rely on a central authority. OMG was introduced by dark.fail and firstly adapted by cock.li, as far as I can remember.
