Tor Browser for Android works and reaches Nexus onion addresses. Why a phone is still the weakest option and what to do if it is all you have.

3 verified addresses published // 8 access routes // 6 setup steps // no accounts, no forms, nothing collected
Nexus Market onion addresses
All three reach the same market with the same account, balance and orders behind each. Copy one rather than typing it, then confirm it on the login screen before you sign in.

Read this before signing in Open these in Tor Browser only. When the login screen loads, compare the onion printed on the page against your browser address bar, reading from the end backwards. A copied page reproduces the design perfectly and cannot sit at the real address. If they differ, close the tab.

Yes, it works. Tor Browser for Android opens onion addresses the same as the desktop build. The honest part of this page is everything after that sentence.

Why a phone is the weakest option here

A phone is a device with a permanent network identity, a location history, an app store account tied to your name, and a set of background services you cannot see or stop. None of that breaks the Tor connection. All of it means the device knows a great deal about you, and the device is the part sitting in your hand.

A desktop can be cleaned. A live USB forgets on its own. A phone does neither, and it travels with you.

If a phone is what you have

  1. Install Tor Browser for Android from the Tor Project listing rather than a search result.
  2. Set the security level to Safest in the settings, same as the desktop.
  3. Use a screen lock that is a real passphrase rather than a pattern or a short PIN.
  4. Do not let the browser or any keyboard sync anything to a cloud account.
  5. Paste an address from this site and confirm it on the login screen before typing anything.

The keyboard problem

Many keyboards send what you type to a server for prediction and improvement. That is a bad fit for typing a password or an address. Switch to a keyboard that works entirely on the device, and turn learning off. This is easy to overlook and it undoes everything else.

What not to do on a phone

A fair summary

Reading and checking an order on a phone is reasonable. Running everything from one is a compromise you should make deliberately rather than by default.

Other ways in

Before your first login

STEP 01

Install Tor Browser from the right place

Where to get Tor Browser, why the source matters more than the version, and the mistakes that put a modified copy on a machine.

STEP 02

Verify the download before you run it

The signature check that proves the file came from the Tor Project unmodified, why it is worth the ten minutes, and what a failure means.

STEP 03

Set the security level before your first visit

Tor Browser ships on its most permissive setting. What the three levels change, why Safest is the right default here, and what breaks.
