All WeTheNorth links, explained
Six official addresses make up the complete WeTheNorth ecosystem — one onion service, three clearnet mirrors and two forum domains. Here is what each one is, what it is for, and when to reach for it.
1. The onion address — the market's real front door
http://hn2paw7zaahbikbejiv6h22zwtijlam65y2c77xj2ypbilm2xs4bnbid.onionWhat it is: WeTheNorth Market as a Tor v3 onion service. Use it for: everything that matters — registering, logging in, depositing, ordering, withdrawing. Traffic to an onion service is encrypted and anonymized by the Tor network itself; your IP never reaches the market. Requirements: the Tor Browser, which you can only trust if you download it from torproject.org.
2–4. The clearnet mirrors — wtnmarket.net, wtnmarket.ru, wtnmarket.store
| Mirror | Best for | Privacy note |
|---|---|---|
| wtnmarket.net | Everyday browsing of listings and vendor pages | ISP sees the domain; use Tor for logins |
| wtnmarket.ru | Fallback when .net is slow or under attack | Same account, same wallet |
| wtnmarket.store | Alternate route during maintenance windows | Same market, mirrored |
All three mirrors serve the same database — your account, balance, orders and messages are identical regardless of which you open. They exist so a DDoS attack or infrastructure hiccup on one domain can't take the market offline for Canadians. The market's own recommendation is unchanged: browse where convenient, but place your orders over Tor.

5–6. The forum domains — wtnforum.net and wtnforum.ru
The WeTheNorth community forum is where Canadian users review vendors, argue about products, post market news and — most importantly for this directory — publish mirror announcements. When a market link misbehaves, the forum is the fastest source of truth about whether it is maintenance, an attack, or a new address. Two domains, one forum: wtnforum.net and wtnforum.ru.
How the pieces fit together
- Shopping session: onion address, Tor Browser, 2FA-enabled account.
- Quick browse: whichever mirror is fast today.
- "Is the market down?" check the forum first, then our status page.
- "Is this link real?" run it through the verification checklist.
Links that are NOT WeTheNorth
Any address not on this page that claims to be "WeTheNorth" — a .to or .cc clone, a look-alike with a doubled letter, a "portal" that asks you to log in — is at best a middleman and at worst a phishing page. The market keeps its link surface deliberately small: one onion, three mirrors, two forum domains. If you are asked for your WeTheNorth passphrase anywhere else, you are being phished.
