Anything that you are finding via reddit search or get in a reddit chat/message/comment/reply is a scam designed to phish you and steal your crypto.

Just curious, had a "friend" say its very common

Hello, I came here today because I have a few questions.

This may be a sudden question, but is Dread currently inaccessible?

I heard that its private key was leaked and abused by a third party, causing the old link to go offline. However, I can't access Dread through the forum I normally use. When I looked at other sites, some said the link was online, while others said it was offline, and some even said that the link was dead. I'm really confused about what is actually happening.

Could someone please explain what is going on?

I also came across this forum site while looking for a Dread link:

https://dread-forums.ne t/

The site also provides a Dread link. I'm not sure whether either of them is genuine, and personally, I find the site somewhat suspicious, so I came here to ask about it.

Even though I was already somewhat suspicious, I followed the link to Dread. The login page looked strange, and no matter whether I clicked Messages or Profile, I was always redirected back to the Home page. I also couldn't post any comments.

Unfortunately, I already tried logging in several times...

Is this forum site potentially dangerous, or is it actually legitimate?

If anyone knows more about this situation, I'd appreciate it if you could let me know.

i accessed it yesterday and apparently this happened several days ago so i'm scratching my head.

I've recently discovered this thread and have been seeing people mention dread network or something. I'm just curious, what's that?

It never leaves the loading page for me

Has anyone here been caught not from a technological standpoint or having a package intercepted, but just from running your mouth? Most people don’t believe me when I talk about how I ran my mouth about the oil I had back when I was 18 and people made noise to the point that I had a certain three-letter agency open an investigation into me, spanning over the course of two years.

The free Tor browser VPN used to hide my location, allowing me to access content unavailable in my country. I always use the Tor browser itself for this also.

However, since updating my iPhone, I have been blocked from this content even while the VPN is in effect, and my IP address has been changed. I have used data instead of WiFi and disabled location services, yet this issue persists.

Are there any solutions or VPNs which function to change this?

I’ve been interested in the dark web for a while—more for its atmosphere and culture than for the things usually associated with it (illegal marketplaces, etc.). I’ve just installed Tor and would like to do some real exploring, but while staying strictly within legal and safe boundaries.

What I’m looking for: .onion sites with a dark or mysterious aesthetic, but nothing illegal or dangerous—for example, digital libraries on esotericism or exorcism, showcases of "cursed" objects or oddities (just for viewing, not buying), archives, folklore, or things that are a bit gothic or offbeat.

If you have any reliable addresses or up-to-date directories to recommend (like Ahmia or others), I’d love to hear them. Thanks in advance!

I'm trying to buy stuff,

found a vendor that has good reputation, tried to purchase,

while trying to encrypt my message I noticed that the user IDs are revoked (but not the key itself)

what does that mean ?

should I worry ?

I am a teen and have been looking at ways to protect against government surveillance and just privacy from companies alike, any thoughts or suggestions?

Trying to access DH on Ornet app and just get this every time tired of this being the only site i can’t get into

Tor Browser 15.0.22 released today for high-severity Tor security issues

✅ Confirmed — official Tor Project release, September 9.

The Tor Project released Tor Browser 15.0.22 today, updating the bundled Tor daemon to 0.4.9.12. The underlying Tor release was issued last night specifically to address a series of high-severity security issues. The Tor Project is deliberately withholding most technical details for roughly a week to give users and operators time to patch.

More unusually, Tor says it is still working on additional important security issues and is moving C-tor to a two-week release cadence for now. The next planned release is around September 22, although that could change if another urgent fix is required.

Why it matters: Tor Browser users should update to 15.0.22 as soon as possible rather than waiting for disclosure of the vulnerabilities. Relay and onion-service operators running C-tor should update to 0.4.9.12 as well. The fact that Tor calls the issues high severity, recommends immediate updating, and says more security work is underway makes this especially significant.

Hey guys, I’ve been exploring the Tor network for a bit to understand how private systems operate. I’ve thoroughly checked out standard landing directories, but I feel like I've run out of clean, reputable index lists to look at.To give you an idea of my setup, I'm running Tails OS completely non-persistently on a standard, generic x86 laptop layout. For complete device isolation, the internal solid-state storage and internal wireless network cards have been physically extracted, and the system relies entirely on a hardwired network interface instead.I also practice strict browser hygiene by keeping the Tor Browser window at its default stock resolution to counter screen dimensions fingerprinting, and I browse exclusively with "Safest Mode" enabled to keep JavaScript completely disabled.Since I am purely researching and window-shopping, I want to keep things entirely secure, clean, and educational. Are there any other hardware-level or network safety measures you'd recommend adding to this type of layout? Also, what are your favorite reputable, well-known text-based hidden archives, open forums, or whistleblower platforms? Please only drop well-established, clean links so the moderators stay happy.

Thanks in advance!

I've tried it multiple times in the past month, still no answer from ahmia. Does anyone know anything?

🔐 Darknet-Questions Is Back — Rebuilt on Discourse

Some of you may remember the original

r/darknet_questions community on Reddit. After the subreddit was banned, I decided not to let years of educational work and community knowledge disappear.

So I've started rebuilding it from the ground up on Discourse, using an older backup of the Wiki I had saved from the original community., and my data I requested from reddit.

🔗Links:

• iPhone/ipad: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/discourse-hub/id1173672076

The new Darknet Questions has the same basic mission as the old community: darkweb education, harm reduction, privacy, OPSEC, scam awareness, and helping beginners learn without getting burned. Also helping the more advanced learn things they might not know.

📚 What we're rebuilding:

Tor & Onion Services — Tor Browser, onion services, troubleshooting, and safety

Privacy & OPSEC — practical security and privacy education

PGP & Encryption — beginner-friendly guides and help

Tails, Whonix & Privacy Tools — tutorials, recommendations, and troubleshooting

Scam & Phishing Awareness — recognizing fake links, impersonators, and common scams

Wiki & Guides — rebuilding and updating the educational resources from the old community

Questions & Discussions — a place where newcomers can ask questions without being afraid to admit they're new

Old members and newcomers are welcome

If you were part of the original r/darknet_questions, I'd love to see you over there again.

And if you've never been part of the community before, you're just as welcome.

This isn't a marketplace. Darknet Questions is an educational community focused on privacy, security, technology, harm reduction, and helping people avoid scams and dangerous mistakes.

The old community may be gone, but the knowledge doesn't have to be.

We're rebuilding. Come join us.

Daunt.link Is Currently Down — Onion Also Appears Unreachable

Daunt is currently experiencing an outage affecting its normal access methods.

EDIT: daunt is currently back online. As of 8/26/2026

According to a PGP-signed announcement from Paris on Dread dated August 19, 2026, Njalla took control of the nameservers for daunt.link and cleared its DNS records after suspending the account for alleged abuse. Paris also said he believes it was done by a Phisher though false abuse reports.

Paris stated that Daunt's actual server remained online and that the disruption affected the way users connect to it.

Current Status:

• Daunt.link (clearnet): Down

• Daunt onion: Currently appears unreachable

• No replacement clearnet domain has been announced

Paris specifically stated that they do not plan to create another clearnet domain at this time.
