Operational Prerequisites
DrugHub operates exclusively on the Tor network to ensure end-to-end encryption and user anonymity. Before proceeding, verify your local environment is secure. Disable JavaScript in your browser settings where possible (though the market functions with JS enabled) and ensure no background services are leaking IP data.
CURRENCY NOTICE: This is a strict XMR (Monero) only market. Bitcoin is not accepted due to its transparent ledger. Ensure you have a functional Monero wallet before attempting transactions.
01 Tor Configuration
Required SoftwareAccess to the .onion namespace requires the Tor Browser. This specialized software routes your connection through three randomized volunteer nodes (Guard, Middle, Exit), effectively masking your IP address from the destination server.
- Download from official Project site
- Verify GPG signature of installer
- Set Security Level to 'Safer'
02 Link Verification
V3 Onion AddressAccessing the decentralized network requires precise addressing. Utilize the cryptographically signed V3 onion address below. This entry point is verified against the market's PGP key and guarantees a direct connection to the main load balancer.

03 Network Connection
DDoS ProtectionUpon navigation, you will encounter the automated perimeter defense system. This layer filters high-frequency requests to maintain platform stability. Complete the captcha challenge presented.
Note: Connection times may vary between 10-45 seconds depending on Tor network congestion. Do not refresh the page aggressively as this may trigger a temporary IP ban.
04 Credential Management
Account SecurityThe registration process is designed for minimal data retention. No email addresses are required. You will define the following credentials which must be stored offline:
| Public Username | Your visible identity on the platform. Do not use handles linked to clear-net profiles. |
| Login Password | High-entropy string used for session initiation. |
| Transaction PIN | 6-digit numeric code required to authorize withdrawals and finalize escrow orders. |
| Mnemonic Phrase | CRITICAL: A 12-word seed phrase generated upon creation. This is the ONLY method to recover lost accounts. |
05 PGP & 2FA Setup
EncryptionAfter initial login, navigate to User Settings -> Security. It is mandatory practice to upload your PGP public key. This enables:
- 2FA Login: The server encrypts a random challenge string with your public key; you must decrypt it to log in.
- Message Encryption: Auto-encrypts all vendor communications.
DrugHub supports passwordless market authentication for users with established PGP keys, streamlining access while maintaining high security.
