Welcome to Secret Onions, the community maintained Hidden Wiki focused on content and not on scammy marketplaces.
Here in Secret Onions we see the Tor Network as a tool for fighting back surveillance, censorship and opressive governments and NOT as a business tool. Unlike other Hidden Wikis, our focus is finding valuable content, useful tools and sharing knowledge. Most Hidden Wikis are focused on promoting marketplaces and other business sites, because they’re paid by the marketplaces for promotion. We hate it, because they lead people to scam sites. On the other hand, we have curated a list of content without any marketplace or any other shady darknet business. We believe this is the first step for creating an index of websites without leading people to scam sites.

Support our work
Other “Hidden Wikis” or Tor link indexes are financed by scam marketplaces that pay them for including a link to their site or by ads that most of the time link to scam sites. We do not link to those kind of sites and hate ads, therefore our only way to have our work compensated is by reader donations. Secret Onions is community maintained with the purpose of creating a link directory not driven by scammers’ money. If you found our site useful, buy as a coffee:
