Verified onion links with real-time status monitoring
Before accessing any links below, ensure you have completed these security steps:
Status: ● ONLINE
drughub75eoe5pqwy4e5swpjpwz76vikb5t2qxzsslfr3s6kqok5lnad.onion
Main access point with full functionality. Recommended for most users.
Download Tor Browser from the official Tor Project website. Verify the download signature to ensure you received authentic software. Install the browser following the provided instructions for your operating system.
Configure the security settings before your first connection. Navigate to the shield icon in the toolbar and select "Safest" mode. This disables JavaScript and provides maximum protection against browser-based attacks.
V3 DrugHub onion addresses contain 56 characters before the .onion suffix. Each character matters. A single incorrect character means you're connecting to a different address entirely, potentially a phishing site designed to steal your credentials.
Compare the address character-by-character against multiple trusted sources. If you found the address through a single source, seek additional verification before proceeding. Phishing attacks remain the most common way users lose funds and accounts.
Copy the verified DrugHub onion address and paste it directly into the Tor Browser address bar. Do not use search engines to find marketplace links as search results can include phishing sites designed to appear legitimate.
After the page loads, create a bookmark for future visits. Using bookmarks eliminates the risk of typos that could lead to malicious sites. Update your bookmarks whenever mirrors change, always verifying new addresses through trusted channels.
Once connected, look for official welcome messages or announcements. DrugHub provide PGP-signed communications that can be verified against known public keys. If the site requests unusual information or appears different from previous visits, disconnect immediately.
Phishing sites often look identical to the real platform. The only reliable verification methods are: checking the complete DrugHub onion address, verifying PGP signatures, and confirming through multiple independent sources.
DrugHub administrators publish signed messages containing official mirror addresses. Import DrugHub's public key into your PGP software. When you see an announcement claiming to provide official DrugHub links, verify the signature before trusting the content.
If the signature verification fails, the message may have been modified or came from a different source. Never trust unsigned link announcements, even if they appear on seemingly legitimate channels.
Public keys should be obtained through multiple independent channels. A single source for a public key creates a single point of failure for phishing attacks.
Check multiple independent sources for the same DrugHub onion address. Trusted directories, forum announcements, and verified contacts should all provide matching information. Discrepancies indicate that at least one source has been compromised.
Good sources include: Dread forum with PGP verification, established directory sites with reputation, and verified contacts who can sign their messages. Poor sources include: search engine results, social media posts, and unsolicited messages.
When mirrors change, expect official announcements through multiple channels simultaneously. Legitimate mirror rotations come with proper notice and verification methods.
V3 DrugHub onion addresses always end with .onion and contain exactly 56 characters in the random portion. The characters are limited to lowercase letters and digits 2-7 (base32 encoding). Any address not matching this format is invalid.
Watch for common substitution attacks: replacing 'l' with '1', 'O' with '0', or adding/removing characters. Reading the address aloud can help catch these tricks. If in doubt, close the connection and verify again.
Some phishing addresses are designed to look similar at a glance. Always check the complete string, not just the beginning or end.
After verifying an address through multiple sources, save it as a bookmark in Tor Browser. Use bookmarks exclusively for subsequent visits rather than typing or searching for addresses.
Organize bookmarks with descriptive names. When mirrors change, update all bookmarks immediately after verification. Delete old bookmarks to prevent accidentally using outdated or compromised addresses.
If using Tails, save bookmarks in Persistent Storage so they survive reboots. Otherwise, you'll need to re-verify addresses each session.
Understanding phishing attacks helps you avoid them. Attackers use several techniques to trick users into revealing credentials:
Attackers create pixel-perfect copies of the legitimate site. The only difference is the DrugHub onion address. When you log in, they capture your credentials. Some advanced attacks even proxy your traffic to the real site, so you see legitimate content while attackers intercept everything.
Defense: Always verify the complete DrugHub onion address. Use bookmarks from verified sources. Enable PGP 2FA when available.
Attackers register DrugHub onion addresses that visually resemble legitimate ones. They may differ by one character, use similar-looking characters (1 vs l, 0 vs O), or add extra characters. Quick visual inspection may not catch the difference.
Defense: Read addresses character-by-character. Compare against known-good bookmarks. Never trust addresses from search results or random messages.
Attackers post fake mirror announcements in forums, chat channels, or social media. These may claim to be official updates, emergency migrations, or exclusive access links. Even trusted channels can be compromised.
Defense: Verify PGP signatures on all announcements. Cross-reference with multiple sources. Be skeptical of urgent or exclusive claims.
Attackers anticipate common typos and register addresses matching those mistakes. If you accidentally mistype a character when entering an address manually, you may land on a phishing site designed for exactly that error.
Defense: Never type DrugHub onion addresses manually. Always copy from verified sources. Use bookmarks exclusively after initial verification.
If you suspect you entered credentials on a phishing site, take immediate action:
Speed matters. Attackers may attempt to access your account immediately after capturing credentials. The faster you change your password, the less time they have to cause damage.
DrugHub onion services require multiple hops through the Tor network, which can take longer than regular websites. Initial connections may take 30 seconds to several minutes depending on network conditions and circuit quality.
If a site doesn't load within 2-3 minutes, try clicking "New Circuit for this Site" in the padlock menu (click the padlock icon next to the address bar). This creates a fresh path through different Tor relays, which often resolves routing issues.
Onion sites can go offline temporarily for maintenance, DDoS mitigation, or infrastructure updates. Before assuming the address is wrong, check status through community channels or directory sites.
Try alternative DrugHub mirrors listed on this page. Different mirrors may use different server infrastructure, so one being offline doesn't affect others. Always verify alternative addresses through the methods described above before using them.
DrugHub and other markets implement captcha systems and proof-of-work challenges to mitigate DDoS attacks. These protection pages are normal and don't indicate a problem with your connection or the site.
Complete the captcha as instructed. If it doesn't load properly, ensure JavaScript is enabled for .onion sites (note: enabling JavaScript increases risk, so consider the tradeoff). Some protection systems require cookies, which may need to be enabled in Tor Browser settings.
When using Tor Browser's "Safest" security setting, JavaScript and some other features are disabled. This can cause some page elements to not display correctly. The core functionality should still work.
If critical features don't work, you can temporarily lower security settings for that site. However, this increases your exposure to potential browser exploits. Most marketplace functionality works fine in "Safest" mode.
Running a VPN before Tor (VPN → Tor) hides your Tor usage from your ISP. Your ISP sees only encrypted VPN traffic. The VPN provider sees you connecting to Tor, but cannot see your Tor activity.
Considerations: This setup adds trust in your VPN provider. If the VPN keeps logs or is compromised, your Tor usage could be exposed. Choose VPN providers with proven no-logs policies and independent audits.
In countries that block Tor, or on networks that monitor for Tor traffic, bridges provide unlisted entry points that are harder to detect and block. Tor Browser includes built-in bridge support.
Request bridges from bridges.torproject.org or via email to bridges@torproject.org. Obfs4 bridges add an extra layer of obfuscation that makes traffic look like random noise rather than Tor traffic.
Using public WiFi for Tor access adds a layer of anonymity since the connection originates from a public location. However, public networks come with their own risks including potential surveillance and malicious operators.
If using public WiFi, ensure you're using Tor Browser's built-in HTTPS enforcement. Consider using a bridge to prevent network operators from identifying your Tor usage. Never access sensitive accounts or services on public networks without Tor protection.
Make sure you've completed all security preparations before accessing DrugHub.
If you haven't set up Tor Browser, PGP encryption, and a Monero wallet, complete those steps first. Rushing leads to security mistakes.
