Check your tor bundle version. Tor works much better with up to date software.

thanks for you answers

actually I ve never downloaded any tor program
when I enter the address--then click on login/silkroad---then have a green page where it says
"you r about to enter a tor network" and that s it

and now for 3 days it says   silkroadvb5piz3r.onion is currently unavailable. Proxy timed out while trying to connect. (4).

otherwebsite using tor works fine

i dont understand....

So if I understand the situation correctly, you've never downloaded the tor bundle or setup tor in anyway, but are using a proxy to access the Internet?  What browser are you using?  Do your "tor" pages end in onion.to?

Go to this site and download the Tor bundle for your operating system and install. Never again access SR, or any tor hidden services, through any browser other than the tor browser. It's a real threat to your anonymity! AB.

That is a great way to go to jail. Get tor for the sake of your freedom. Tor is sort of the ONLY reason this whole site works.

You do realize that the people running onion.to can see EVERYTHING you do on the Silk Road and they can see WHO you are. They will also happily share this with law enforcement if they ask nice.

You've been using SR for 3 months and you haven't been using tor?

Jesus fucking Christ.

Jesus.....


You absolutely have to download TOR.  It is easy enough for my mom to use.  I hate to bash you, but what you are doing is incredibly stupid and exposes you.

I wonder how many other users are doing this......

any update from DPR would be nice

I received all my orders and cant finalize

thanks

I love that he's waiting on DPR, of all people, to update him on his tor difficulties  ::)

Don't worry mate, you're probably fine. You are dealing with some seriously illegal shit here, though. Before jumping in head first do the recommended reading. Even the most basic of forum researching would have alerted you, many many times over, to the danger of onion.to and non-tor browser tor browsing... :) AB.

P.S. Download the bundle!!

Jesus fucking Christ.

haha tell me about it. It would seem as though a lot of unsafe habits have been forming with people not using tor and not encrypting addresses. You people need to get your shit together. Before doing ANYTHING on Silk Road can all you people for the love of god just please read up in the SECURITY section on these forums. You'll find most of your questions have already been answered there. As far as using SR through a proxy on your computer.... Jesus fucking Christ man.

Out of curiosity, who taught you to access SR this way? Obviously I don't want a name, but was it a friend, the reddit subreddit, some forum?

If it was a web site, can you post the link?
