Torzon Tor verification protocol
Why the address is the authentication
Phishing mirrors copy HTML perfectly but cannot copy the onion private key behind a Torzon Onion address. That makes the full 56-character v3 address the only reliable authenticator. Bookmark this gateway, copy from here, and re-match after load. Authentic Torzon Tor pages never prompt you to install software, update an extension, or deposit before showing marketplace chrome. How onion addresses work: Tor (network) on Wikipedia.
- Copy the Primary address with the copy button above.
- Paste into Tor Browser (latest stable, Safest mode) — download only from torproject.org.
- Allow 15–30 seconds for circuit handshake.
- Match all 56 characters against this page.
- On mismatch or install prompt, close immediately.
Anti-spoof checklist
Reject URL shorteners, screenshots of addresses, and addresses shared via unsolicited messages. Treat any address not present on this page as hostile until proven otherwise through a signed Warrant Canary announcement. Community signal (never a source of truth): r/Tor.
Warrant Canary linkage
Mirror rotations are announced alongside the signed canary. If a new address appears without a valid signature covering it, do not fund it. See /crypto/ for escrow implications and /opsec/ for session hygiene.
Offline failover order
Wait 5 minutes, request New Identity for a fresh circuit, then try Primary → Secondary → Tertiary. Don't hammer the retry button: burst retries trip rate limits and look exactly like a denial-of-service probe.
