Title: Not been able to get on SR for 3 days now?
Post by: Mantzoukas on September 03, 2013, 05:50 pm

I have not been able to access Sr for 3 days now and I need to finalize an order.

Can anyone help me out with a way to get on?


Regards

Ive been having the same problem but you can gain access through tor2web ------> silkroadvb5piz3r.onion.to/ This will be a bit laggy.

Dr. Drogen, why would you inform others to log onto Silk Road through an onion.to URL, effectively the clearnet!!  You do know that if you have used that onion.to URL to log onto SR, your real I.P address can be seen?? NEVER log onto any onion.to URL's for your SR or related activities.

Mantzoukas, just keep trying and using a new identity. I've been on and I'm sure you can with a little patience. Only use the URL below to access SR -

http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad

Terrible idea.

No one should be doing this.

If you accessed it through tor then they don't have your real IP but they know your password and could read everything you've accessed (including your PMs). I'd change my password right now and also you PIN (only if you've used it while on onion.to).

I find I'm able to log on after multiple reloads.

This is not a silk road issue, but a tor issue. See here https://metrics.torproject.org/users.html

The linearity of the increase implies that the quadrupling in users is not extra human users, and it's suspected that a botnet is behind it, the evidence for this being the total bandwidth of the network has not increased: https://metrics.torproject.org/network.html (scroll down to "Total relay bandwidth in the network")

Whatever these new users are doing is causing the hidden services to be slowed to a crawl, while accessing clearnet sites appears to be unaffected.

I am having issues logging in to SR and the SR forums. I just keep trying until they finally load. It can be hours sometimes.

They have worked for me, for the most part, but have been super slow the past few days
