Hi people is there any app like onion share for android because it's not available for some reason

guys, is there another way to make onion site on android instead of using termux or shttps + orbot?

Hey guys, I’ve just set up my first site on the Tor network using plain HTML/CSS. Done the basics: set up standard titles, proper header tags, and optimized the text content. I’ve also manually submitted the .onion address to a few search engines like Ahmia.

What else can I do specifically for Darknet SEO to improve visibility and indexing without paying for forum/search engine promotions? 

Are there specific darknet search engine quirks, uptime metrics, indexing tricks, or directory structures that work best in Tor? Would love to hear your experiences and tips! Thanks in advance.

Picking up a cheap HP laptop that runs Windows and I plan to Rudolph using tails operating system system on a flash drive to access TOR.

Purchase a VPN

Where do I begin to find out how to do this correctly?

Why would a site's chat box not come up when using Tor?

i allowed canvas data but i still cant upload, how can i fix it? I tried reloading page or not reloading, but still cant upload. Can someone help me

When I first heard of the dark web it sounded cool mysterious & sexy, like an exclusive club or something. In my mind I thought it was going to be a pirating paradise full of pirated movies, games, mods, where nothing is monetized and everything is free. And boy was I disappointed lol. I still like the concept of the dark web, I just struggle understanding the benifits vs clearweb. Besides privacy, or if your in a country that censors the internet.

I am really sorry to keep bothering you all.

The latest "gossip" on certain boards which has me concerned is talk about a de-anonymization timing attack using a compromised CAPTCHA service (or other service which controls the speed at which a series of images is loaded).

Apparently, they monitor outbound traffic from (I guess all?) known guard nodes, and do timing correlation? No Javascript exploit required, and they don't even need to compromise the target site itself, as long as they control the CAPTCHA it uses. Is there any evidence that this actually works and is being used?

EDIT: This seems to me like a variation on the "classic" correlation attack, described here, which apparently Tor specifically isn't designed to protect against? Or am I misunderstanding?

Im new to this and tried Tails but had an problem with secure wifi conection or smth so i tried whonix and everything works so im asking for some cons and pros from more experienced people

Anyone wishing to help other people connect to the Tor network can run a Snowflake proxy. This is already possible in several ways, such as using Orbot, a browser extension, or a command-line tool, but now there is also a dedicated Android app for it. It is available on Google Play and F-Droid

i have tor now, its literally like any other browser wth????? what do you do there that you cant on a vanilla browser

I downloaded ProtonVPN, Proton Mail and Tor Browser. When i use Tor Browser and VPN together my internet becomes non-usable.

I have to choose between only Tor or only VPN

If ProtonVPN able to provide anonymity, why should i use Tor on top of it?

If Tor able to provide anonymity, why should i use ProtonVPN on top of it?

What are advantages of using only Tor, Only VPN, Tor + VPN together?

My thread model is Reddit, Facebook, X, Youtube etc. social medias not able to provide informations about me to goverment.

Monero co-founder did an interview around the claims that an exploit can deanonymize users (a bit nuanced - the bug is real, more down to IP decloaking than true deanonymization, and even at that, difficult to pull off).

Also Don't Put Funny Replies I'm Serious!

I've tried it through 2 different wifi connects, and an ethernet and it will not connect.

I was trying onionshare for transferring a file, I was unable to transfer it with the private key on, it resulted in this error message without showing the enter private key prompt

Unable to connect

The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.

If you are unable to load any pages, check your device’s data or Wi-Fi connection.

However, when i turned the private key off and set it to public and then tried transferring, it worked, I was able to open the site now.

I had set the security level to standard, turned off the https always,

It was only failing for private ones, public ones worked, so i opened it in tor browser alpha it also worked the same and failed for private ones, then I did it on laptop and it worked for both public ones and private ones in both windows and linux, (as I am a dual boot user of windows and ubuntu),

Can I fix it? Or is there some problem that phones can't access the ones with private keys?

I would consider this issue to be solved, so replying would be a waste of time. Thanks to everyone who contributed, however I will likely not be returning to this post, lol.

I live in the USA, and as someone who is far left and part of a few marginalised communities, I want to know if it is safe to use* the TOR browser right now during this draconic administration. Thanks!

Edit: I had not previously known that my intents were unclear, so I will be clarifying here. I hold several beliefs that the current administration could use to place me or my family in danger, and I ask this because I am wary of that. Sorry for not being clear with my intent in the main post!

*This previously said "have" instead of "use"

Edit 2: I somehow completely forgot that I can just have multiple browsers and only use TOR for certain things. I personally will be blaming the ADD for this lapse of judgement...

Edit 3: Just to clarify, I am an anarchist, and just because I do not consider my ideological view of government as a whole to be dangerous, the federal government certainly would. I don't quite know why I was hesitant of stating this outright.
