Understanding Onion Gateways
Tor Hidden Services use a randomized path through the network. A Drughub mirror is simply an alternative entry point to the same backend database. If the main URL is under a DDoS attack (Distributed Denial of Service), mirrors allow you to bypass the congestion.
Safety Tip: Always bookmark this Nexus page. We update the Drughub links daily. Hackers often create fake wikis that list phishing URLs. By verifying the PGP signature on the left against our public key, you can mathematically prove these addresses are authentic.
Why V3 Onion Addresses?
- Length: 56 characters long (vs 16 for old V2).
- Security: Elliptic-curve cryptography (ed25519).
- Privacy: Directory servers don't know the service exists.
