Short answers to the questions people actually search for. For the onion URL itself, go to the homepage. For setup steps, see the access guide.
Drughub is a Tor-only online marketplace accessed through a .onion address in Tor Browser. Payments are in cryptocurrency — usually Bitcoin or Monero.
Install Tor Browser, copy the onion link from our homepage, and paste it into Tor. Step-by-step instructions are in the access guide.
Tor Browser only. Install and configure it using step 1 in the access guide.
No. Only Tor Browser opens .onion sites. If someone sends you a "drughub link" that works in Chrome, it is a clearnet phishing page, not the real market.
That is the standard length for v3 onion addresses: 56 lowercase letters and numbers, then .onion. Wrong length, uppercase letters, or extra spaces mean you copied a bad link.
After the market loads in Tor, click Register and follow the on-screen steps. Pick a unique username and password, and save your recovery phrase offline before closing the tab.
Only if you got it from a verified source — not a random forum post or Telegram channel.
VPN before Tor can hide Tor usage from your ISP; it also adds a provider who could log traffic. Connect VPN first, then launch Tor — never the reverse.
Import the official admin PGP key, download the signed mirror list, and run gpg --verify on the signature file. If the signature is good, the onion addresses inside are authentic.
Set Tor to Safest — required for Drughub sessions.
Tor routes traffic through multiple relays, so pages load slower than on the clearnet. Fixes — new circuit, restart Tor, off-peak hours — are in the connection troubleshooting section.
Confirm you are in Tor Browser, re-copy the address from our homepage, and work through the connection troubleshooting steps.
If Tor never connects, your ISP may be blocking it.
Usually a flagged exit node or JavaScript blocked at Safest.
Mirrors are backup .onion addresses that point to the same market — like a second front door to the same building.
When the primary URL is slow or down, admins sometimes publish alternates. Use the verified address on our homepage. Do not collect mirror links from Reddit or Telegram — that is how phishing spreads.
Yes. After DDoS attacks or infrastructure moves, admins sometimes publish a new onion URL. Your old bookmark may stop working overnight.
Check our homepage for the current address. Do not trust "new link" posts on forums unless they verify with PGP.
There is no fixed schedule. Rotations usually follow major attacks, security upgrades, or a compromised address — sometimes months apart, not weekly.
We update the homepage when the URL changes. Bookmark this site in Tor if you want a stable place to check.
No. There's no such thing as premium, exclusive, or faster Drughub links. Anyone claiming otherwise is running a phishing operation.
All official Drughub mirrors are equal. Scammers use these terms to make fake links seem more legitimate. Only trust verified sources.
Drughub typically accepts Bitcoin (BTC) and Monero (XMR). Monero is preferred for privacy.
If you saved your recovery mnemonic during registration, you can reset your password using that phrase.
If you didn't save the mnemonic, account recovery may not be possible — Tor-only markets don't have email reset for security reasons.
Lesson: Always securely store your recovery phrase offline when creating accounts.
Two-factor authentication (2FA) protects your account even if someone obtains your password. On Drughub, 2FA typically uses PGP encryption:
Always enable 2FA if available. It's the best protection against account compromise.
