How to enter a dark market
Five checkpoints. Education, not a walkthrough for crime.
- Change the machine — Tails on USB or Whonix in a VM. Not the laptop you bank on.
- Change the browser — Tor Browser only. Chrome will not open these places.
- Change how you trust URLs — full onion vs a signed list. See verification.
- Encrypt before you type — PGP on your side, not the site button.
- Prefer Monero — notes on XMR.
Skip: Windows + Chrome. Skip the first onion from Google, Reddit, or a Telegram pin.
Dark Place is a public catalog of onion addresses for study. It does not run a shop, take orders, or help anyone commit a crime. You decide what you do with this material. No warranty.
