Welcome to Onion Sites. By accessing or using this website, you agree to follow the terms and conditions below. If you don’t agree with any part of these terms, please don’t use this site.
About This Site
Onion Sites is an independent educational resource about Tor, onion services, and online privacy. We maintain a curated directory of verified, legitimate onion services. This includes search engines, encrypted email, news outlets, and whistleblower tools. We also publish original articles that explain how the Tor network works and how to use it safely. We do not list, link to, or promote marketplaces, forums, or any service connected to illegal activity.
Acceptable Use
You agree to use this site only for lawful purposes. Specifically, you may not use it to plan, facilitate, or promote illegal activity of any kind. Nor may you attempt to compromise the site’s security, or scrape or republish our content at scale without permission. Finally, you may not misrepresent your identity to deceive other users or us.
Third-Party Links and Onion Addresses
We check every onion address against the operating organization’s own website or official documentation before we publish it. We also note when we last verified each address. That said, independent third parties outside our control run these onion services. As a result, addresses can change, rotate, or go offline without notice. We make no guarantee that a listed address stays accurate or operational at the time you visit it. In addition, we are not responsible for the content, availability, or practices of any third-party site we link to. Visiting any external or onion site is entirely at your own risk.
No Professional Advice
We provide content on this site, including our security and privacy guides, for general educational purposes only. It is not legal, security, or professional advice tailored to your specific situation. Therefore, you should not rely on it as a substitute for independent judgment or professional consultation where appropriate.

This means we do not warrant that the site will be error-free, uninterrupted, or free of harmful components. Nor do we warrant that any information, including onion addresses, is complete, accurate, or current at all times.

Onion Sites and its operators are not liable for damages arising from your use of this site. This applies to the fullest extent the law allows. It includes direct, indirect, incidental, and consequential damages. It also covers damages from relying on our content or from interacting with any linked third-party site.
