nexus-access.bizThe first login, step by step

Everything on this site comes together here, in the order it actually happens. It takes about five minutes and the first item is not optional.

Before you type anything

1. Paste an address from this site rather than typing it.
2. Wait for the page. A cold connection to a busy onion service can legitimately take a minute.
3. Find the onion printed on the login screen and compare it against your address bar, reading from the end backwards.
4. Only if they match, continue.

Why the comparison is read backwards

The last characters are the expensive ones to match. Anybody generating a lookalike address spends the effort on a convincing prefix, because that is the part people glance at. The tail is where a fake gives itself away.

If the page will not load

Try the next address on the list before doing anything else. If all three are quiet, wait rather than searching. Searching during an outage is how people end up on the copies.

Once you are in

• Stay on the same address for the whole session. Switching mid session throws away a warm connection and usually signs you out.
• Do everything you came for in one visit. The first page pays for the connection and every page after it is quick.
• Sign out and close the browser when you are done rather than leaving a session open.

What to expect on speed

Eight to forty five seconds for the first page is normal. Anything after that within a session should be a few seconds. Slow is not broken here, it is six relays doing their job.
