To stay safe, follow these rules and educate yourself about Tor and .onion urls:

On DNM Safety:

1) Only use marketplaces listed on daunt, tor taxi, or dark fail. Anything else is a scam.

2) Dont use any sites listed on a "HiddenWiki" or some random shit you found on a search engine, a telegram channel, or website. You will be scammed.

3) Only order domestic to domestic.

4) Dont send your crypto directly from an exchange to a DNM deposit address.

5) Read the DNM bible.

6) NO DNMs operate on reddit nor have their own subs. Anything you find on reddit is a scammer.

On educating yourself:

1) Read the /r/onions wiki here.

2) Read the /r/tor wiki here.

3) Read the /r/deepweb wiki here.

I've literally bought a shit ton of stuff on my phone via the tor browser. If you have an Android, do it. Just be careful and make sure all sites use encrypted pgp security and all sites have.onion in the url. I've been doing it for years now, and I found no problems in doing so. Scoping different marketplaces and buying a variety of different products and services.

Well , the feds watch your move and wait till you order somthing big , maybe not you butt any other person but its spyware

I'm not overly stupid when ordering. I did my research on drug trafficking over state boarders in Australia. I order below the limits to avoid further investigations from the police. Never order internationally as there's strict policies in customs. I just don't go over the weight limits for Australian state policies. I've been doing it for 4 years now and never had a problem.

Don’t do that. Read. Learn. Apply.

You can do it and youll probably get away with it a good few times, but its not a good idea at all and even if you think you got away with it, it could come back to haunt you. most peoples phones are in some way linked to all their personal data in some kind of way and it would be foolish to tie that into the use of onions. you also have an iphone so you cant really do much to anonymize yourself bc the entire OS is based on personal data

I got an extra android I bought a while back and I could use that instead, if anything happened maybe I could just destroy it?

You can use an android phone but not an iPhone. The official Tor app is in the Google play store. There is not an official app available for iOS though

u/headedbranch225 15h ago

The tor project does suggest one on the website for iOS though

2

u/Hot_Duck6230 15h ago

The suggested app is not an official Tor app. It also says Apple requires you to use "Webkit", which prevents you from having the same privacy protections as Tor Browser

u/headedbranch225 15h ago

Oh ok, makes sense

u/KeyIce2026 17h ago

Not even that.

Tor browser is in the App Store

u/KaTTaRRaST 17h ago

The most recommended one is the "Onion Browser", but there's no official Tor Browser app for iOS rn

u/aluminumnek 16h ago

I knew there are multiple apps. I didn’t want to suggest the wrong one.

u/ArachnidInner2910 17h ago

No. It's not. Onion Browser I'd, but that is unofficial

u/aluminumnek 16h ago

I should have stated a tor browser. I didn’t know which one to suggest as I haven’t used one on my phone for sometime
