How to open the Fawkes onion address

1Install Tor Browser

Download Tor Browser free from the official site, torproject.org/download. It is available for Windows, macOS, Linux and Android. Install it like any ordinary program — no technical skills are required.

2Connect to the Tor network

Launch Tor Browser and press Connect. The browser establishes a circuit through three volunteer relays, hiding your IP address from the websites you visit. Connecting takes 10–30 seconds the first time.

3Paste the onion address

Copy fawkesgrixgdi6mepgocuntt34o73okuasaxmuqyu4miskuhhzp2dgad.onion into the Tor Browser address bar and press Enter. The Fawkes Market login page should load within a few seconds.

4Bookmark it

Press Ctrl+D to bookmark the market, and also bookmark fawkes.sc — the market's official link hub. If the onion address ever changes, fawkes.sc will carry the updated list of official mirrors.

Why the onion address is the safest way in

Tor onion services (v3 addresses) have two properties that make them ideal for darknet markets:

  • They cannot be convincingly faked. A v3 onion address is derived cryptographically from the server's key. The Fawkes address contains 56 characters; a phisher cannot register a "similar" onion address unless you mistype a character — which is why copying and pasting beats typing.
  • End-to-end encryption. Traffic between your Tor Browser and the market is encrypted through the Tor network. Your ISP sees only that you use Tor — not which onion service you visit.
  • Censorship resistance. Clearnet mirrors can be blocked by ISPs or taken down by registrars. The onion service keeps running as long as the market's server is online, from anywhere in the world.
Clearnet mirrors like fawkesmarket.ru are convenient, but the UK ISP-visible connection makes them marginally less private than Tor. Many experienced buyers browse the market over Tor and treat clearnet mirrors as a backup. See our full comparison of Fawkes Market mirrors.

Frequently asked questions about the onion link

What is the official Fawkes Market onion address?
The official address is fawkesgrixgdi6mepgocuntt34o73okuasaxmuqyu4miskuhhzp2dgad.onion. It appears on the market's verification page at fawkes.sc and in PGP-signed announcements.
Can I open it in Chrome, Firefox or Edge?
Only in a Tor-enabled browser. Regular Chrome, Firefox and Edge cannot resolve .onion addresses. Tor Browser is a hardened, pre-configured Firefox, so it will feel familiar.
The onion page won't load — is Fawkes Market down?
Not necessarily. Onion sites can be slow on first load, and markets suffer periodic DDoS attacks. Reload once, try a clearnet mirror, then check the status guide.
Does Fawkes use more than one onion address?
Currently one primary onion address is published, alongside four clearnet mirrors (fawkesmarket.ru, fawkesnetwork.ru, fawkesmarket.com and fawkesmarket.in). Bookmark fawkes.sc to catch any new official addresses.
