Complete tutorial for accessing BlackOps Market securely. Learn registration, connection methods, and safe usage practices for BlackOps.
These are the ONLY official BlackOps Market mirrors. Any other addresses claiming to be BlackOps are phishing attempts. Always verify these addresses before accessing BlackOps.
Bookmark these official BlackOps Market mirrors. Phishing sites steal credentials and funds. Only access BlackOps through verified mirrors.
There are several ways to connect to the marketplace securely. Each method offers different levels of security and anonymity. Choose based on your needs and technical expertise.
The simplest way to access the marketplace. Download Tor Browser and connect directly to onion addresses. This provides basic anonymity but your ISP can see you're using the network (though not what you're accessing).
Visit torproject.org from a regular browser. Download the official Tor Browser for your operating system (Windows, Mac, or Linux). NEVER download from third-party sites — only use the official Tor Project website.
Installation is straightforward. Extract the downloaded file and run the browser executable. No system-wide installation needed. The browser is portable and can run from a USB drive.
Open the browser for the first time. You'll see the connection screen. Click "Connect" for standard connection. If you're in a country that blocks this service, use "Configure" to set up bridges.
Once connected, open the security settings (shield icon in address bar). Set security level to "Safer" or "Safest". This disables JavaScript and other potentially dangerous features. The marketplace works fine with these security settings.
Copy one of the official onion addresses from above. Paste it into the browser address bar. Wait for the page to load — this may take 10-30 seconds as data routes through multiple relays.
You should see the login page. Check the address bar carefully — verify every character of the onion address before entering any credentials. One wrong character means you're on a phishing site.
With this connection method, your ISP can see you're using the network (but not what you're accessing). In some jurisdictions, this may raise suspicion. For enhanced privacy, use Method 2 or Method 3 below.
The recommended method for accessing darknet markets. Connect to VPN first, then use the browser. This hides your activity from your ISP and adds extra security layer. Best balance of security and usability.
Select a no-logs VPN that accepts cryptocurrency. Recommended: Mullvad, IVPN, or ProtonVPN (see our Services page for detailed comparisons). Pay with Monero for maximum privacy.
Download and install the VPN client. DO NOT use free VPNs — they log data and sell it. Your privacy depends on a trustworthy VPN provider with verified no-logs policy.
Open your VPN client and connect to a server BEFORE opening the browser. Choose server in privacy-friendly jurisdiction (Switzerland, Iceland, Romania, Netherlands). Verify connection is active and your IP is hidden.
Test for leaks at ipleak.net — your real IP should NOT appear. Only VPN IP should be visible. DNS requests should go through VPN DNS servers, not your ISP.
With VPN connected, now open the browser. Click "Connect" and wait for connection to establish. Your traffic now goes: You → VPN → Secure Network → Destination. Your ISP only sees encrypted VPN traffic.
Configure browser security settings (shield icon) to "Safer" or "Safest". This ensures JavaScript and other risky features are disabled, protecting you from potential phishing attempts.
Paste official onion URL into the address bar. Wait for the page to load. Verify the onion address character by character. Check SSL certificate if available (even .onion sites can use HTTPS).
Never rush the verification process. Phishing sites are sophisticated. Take 30 seconds to verify everything before entering credentials. This habit will save your funds and identity.
ALWAYS connect to VPN FIRST. Never do Tor → VPN. The correct order (VPN → Tor) hides this activity from ISP and adds protection if exit nodes are compromised. Reverse order exposes your IP to VPN provider.
The most secure way to access darknet markets. Tails is a live operating system that runs from USB, routes all traffic through secure nodes, and leaves no traces on your computer. Perfect for high-security operations. Recommended for vendors and large transactions.
Tails (The Amnesic Incognito Live System) is a complete operating system designed for privacy-critical activities. It runs from USB stick, forces all connections through secure nodes, and forgets everything when you shut down. Nothing is saved to your hard drive unless you create encrypted persistent storage.
Tails includes the browser, encrypted email, PGP tools, and other privacy software pre-configured. Everything you need is built-in and ready to use. No installation on your main system required — just boot from USB.
Visit tails.boum.org and download the Tails USB image. You'll need at least 8GB USB stick. Follow the official installation instructions carefully — the process differs slightly between Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Verify the download using the provided PGP signature before installing. This ensures your Tails image hasn't been tampered with. Take time to verify properly — it's worth the extra effort.
Use Etcher (balena.io/etcher) to write Tails image to USB stick. This will erase everything on the USB. The process takes 5-10 minutes. Once complete, you have a bootable Tails system ready.
Optionally, create a second Tails USB for backup. If your primary USB fails, you won't lose access. Keep backup USB in secure location separate from primary.
Insert Tails USB and restart computer. Enter BIOS/UEFI (usually F2, F12, Del, or Esc during startup). Change boot order to USB first. Save and exit. Computer will boot from Tails USB instead of your regular operating system.
Tails welcome screen appears. Choose language and additional settings. If using VPN with Tails, configure it here. Click "Start Tails" and wait 30-60 seconds for desktop to load. Connection establishes automatically — you're ready.
The browser launches automatically in Tails. Paste official onion URL and access the platform. All traffic is routed securely by default — you can't accidentally expose your IP. Everything runs in RAM, leaving no traces on your computer when you shut down.
If you need persistent storage for credentials (encrypted), set it up in Tails. This lets you save bookmarks, PGP keys, and other data between sessions. Storage is encrypted — even if USB is seized, data remains secure.
Never use Tails on work or public computers. Boot logs may remain. Use your own laptop in private location. Don't connect to cameras/microphones unless necessary. Shut down Tails completely (not just restart) to ensure RAM is cleared.
Creating your account is straightforward but requires attention to security. Follow these steps to ensure your account is properly secured from the start.
Before you can register, the platform verifies you're human. Not a bot. Not a script. You'll see a grid of images — pick the unique one. Simple but effective against automated attacks.
Phishing sites can't replicate this system. The image grid changes every time. If you're on a fake site, this verification won't work correctly. It's your first line of defense.
Fill in the registration form. Username, display name, password, and PIN. That's it. No email required. No phone number. Privacy by design.
Use at least 16 characters. Mix uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols. Never reuse passwords from other sites. A password manager like KeePassXC helps generate and store strong passwords.
Write it down. Store it securely. If you lose your PIN, you lose access to withdrawals. No support can help you recover it. This is intentional — it prevents social engineering attacks.
Right after registration, enable 2FA. Don't skip this. Don't "do it later." The marketplace supports both TOTP (authenticator apps) and PGP-based 2FA.
TOTP for daily logins. PGP for high-security actions. Apps like Aegis (Android) or Raivo (iOS) work well. Backup your 2FA codes offline — if you lose your phone, you'll need them.
PGP encryption is mandatory for all sensitive communications. Generate a 4096-bit RSA key pair. Add your public key to your profile. Keep your private key secure.
Windows: Kleopatra (GPG4Win). Mac: GPG Suite. Linux: GnuPG (usually pre-installed). Generate keys with: gpg --full-generate-key and select RSA 4096-bit.
Before you make any transactions, verify these items. Miss one, risk everything.
Done? You're ready. Take your time with the first transaction. Verify everything twice.
Try another mirror. Darknet sites go down occasionally. If all mirrors fail, wait a few hours and try again. Never google for "working addresses" — that's how you find phishing sites.
Tails routes everything securely already. Adding VPN is optional and debated. Some argue it adds a layer. Others say it introduces a point of failure. For most users, Tails alone is sufficient.
Verify the onion address character by character against trusted sources. Check PGP-signed mirror lists. If the login page asks for unusual information, close immediately. Real markets don't ask for your seed phrase.
Technically yes, using the mobile browser. But mobile is less secure. Smaller screen makes verification harder. Apps can leak data. For serious operations, always use desktop with Tails.
Mullvad or IVPN. Both accept Monero, require no email, and have verified no-logs policies. ProtonVPN works too. Avoid NordVPN, ExpressVPN — they're popular but require more personal data.
