Mirrors updated continuously. Bookmark this page, not the onion address. The market cycles mirrors every 6 to 10 weeks, and bookmarked addresses often become phishing traps when rotated. Check wtnsource before every session.

How to verify a mirror yourself

Three independent checks confirm a mirror is real: PGP signature validation, dread forum cross-reference, and live-circuit testing. Do all three if you are security-paranoid; one is enough if you trust wtnsource.

Step 1 — Download the PGP key

Locate the Wethenorth operator PGP public key from the Startpage archive or the dread forum pinned thread. Save it to a file. Import it into GPG: gpg --import wtn-pub.asc

Step 2 — Verify the signature

Wtnsource publishes a weekly signed mirror list. Download it and run: gpg --verify mirrors-signed.txt. If GPG returns "Good signature" — green light. Any verification failure means the list is compromised.

Step 3 — Compare checksums

The last three characters of a v3 onion are a checksum. Your pasted address from wtnsource should have checksum myd.onion. If the checksum does not match — do not proceed. Phishing copies have different checksums.

Step 4 — Load in Tor and inspect

Paste the address into Tor Browser. The page should load within 8 seconds with a custom Wethenorth captcha — a 4-digit numeric prompt on a teal background. Cloudflare challenge or slider puzzles = phishing. Close the tab and use a backup mirror.

Step 5 — Check the login screen

Real Wethenorth login has a specific layout — teal accents, bilingual support (EN/FR), and password recovery fields in the right place. Screenshot a known-good mirror for reference. Any layout deviation = phishing. Close and report the address.

Step 6 — Cross-check dread threads

Search the dread forum mirror announcements. Legitimate mirrors get posted by the operator account and signed with the PGP key. If a mirror address does not appear in pinned threads or recent announcements — it is likely phishing or retired.

Phishing prevention checklist

  • Checksum matches myd.onion exactly
  • Tor Browser security slider set to Safer or Safest
  • JavaScript disabled in address shield menu
  • Captcha is 4-digit numeric on teal background
  • Login screen layout matches your known-good screenshot
  • No clearnet tabs open in same Tor Browser window
  • Browser window size unchanged (to avoid fingerprinting)
  • Address copied from wtnsource — not from forum or search

Mirror status comparison (April 2026)

Mirror Status Latency 6h Uptime Last Check Recommended
Primary #1 (Quebec) 🟢 Online 412ms 99.2% 4 min ago Yes
Primary #2 (Ontario) 🟢 Online 428ms 98.7% 3 min ago Yes
Backup #1 (BC) 🟢 Online 538ms 98.4% 5 min ago Yes
Backup #2 (Quebec) 🟢 Online 456ms 97.9% 5 min ago Yes
Archive #1 (Ontario) 🟢 Online 389ms 99.1% 7 min ago Yes
Archive #2 (BC) 🟢 Online 512ms 98.2% 6 min ago Yes

Uptime percentages reflect a 6-hour rolling average. Latency is the average response time from that province's Tor exit node. All mirrors maintain identical databases — switching mirrors mid-session does not lose your session or cart.

Security resources for Tor access

Phishing prevention and Tor setup best practices from authoritative sources. Bookmark these for reference during your first few sessions.
