Fawkes Market Link FAQ
Quick answers to the questions people ask about Fawkes Market links and access. For the deeper guides, see the Fawkes Market wiki.
What is the official Fawkes Market link?
Five access points exist: the Tor onion address fawkesgrixgdi6mepgocuntt34o73okuasaxmuqyu4miskuhhzp2dgad.onion and four clearnet mirrors — fawkesmarket.ru, fawkesnetwork.ru, fawkesmarket.com and fawkesmarket.in. The canonical list lives at fawkes.sc.
The link won't load — is Fawkes Market down?
Probably not. In order: reload the page; try another mirror; start a new Tor circuit; try mobile data. Individual mirrors go offline during DDoS attacks — with five doors, the market stays reachable. Only if every official access point fails from multiple networks is the market itself likely down, and it usually returns within hours.
Why are there .ru, .com and .in mirrors?
Redundancy. Different top-level domains mean a single registrar or country block cannot kill access to the market.
How do I avoid fake links?
Bookmarks only (or fawkes.sc); read the URL before logging in; valid HTTPS on clearnet mirrors always; PGP 2FA on your account. See the bookmark guide.
Do I need Tor Browser?
Only for the onion address. Clearnet mirrors open in any browser. Most privacy-conscious buyers prefer Tor — see the 5-minute setup.
Can I use Fawkes on my phone?
Yes — mirrors in any mobile browser; Tor Browser on Android. iOS users should use the mirrors.
What is fawkes.sc for?
The market's permanent verification hub. It exists so that when mirrors change, buyers have one trusted place to find the current links. Bookmark it along with fawkes.shop.
Is Fawkes Market UK-only?
Yes — UK vendors, UK delivery, BTC & XMR payments and escrow. That's the market's defining feature.
Who runs this portal?
Independent maintainers who verify the market's links and publish them in one clean place. We are not the market — see about.
