OPSEC baseline: before you connect
Environment separation
Update Tor Browser (only from torproject.org), set security to Safest, disable extra extensions, and close clearnet tabs tied to real identity. Use a dedicated OS profile or live system, unique credentials per service, and a password manager with a memorized master passphrase. Never mix identities across sessions on Torzon Tor. General background: Tor (network) on Wikipedia and the EFF Surveillance Self-Defense guides.
PGP and communications
Generate your PGP key offline, publish only the public key, and encrypt every address or sensitive message by default (PGP on Wikipedia). Verify vendor keys against two independent sources. Sign continuity statements so counterparties can confirm you across rotations.
Financial hygiene with Monero
Fund a private Monero wallet (getmonero.org, Monero on Wikipedia), churn once, then fund escrow per order per /crypto/ rules. Never pay outside escrow, never finalize early for strangers, and keep amounts plausibly deniable across time. Store TX keys privately for disputes, never in clearnet notes.
What never to do on Torzon Darknet
- Never open Torzon Onion links in a regular browser.
- Never install software a mirror suggests.
- Never reuse passwords or PGP keys across markets.
- Never discuss orders on clearnet channels.
- Never trust a mirror not listed in /mirror/.
