Download Gpg4win from gpg4win.org
Download GPG Suite from gpgtools.org
GPG usually pre-installed. If not, use package manager:
A PGP key pair consists of a public key (share with others) and private key (keep secret).
Choose options:
vortex_user123@protonmail.comNever use real personal information in your PGP key. Use anonymous pseudonyms and disposable email addresses. If your private key is compromised, all encrypted messages can be decrypted.
Your public key must be uploaded to Vortex so vendors can encrypt messages to you.
Copy the entire block starting with -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- and ending with -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
Before sending sensitive info to a vendor, encrypt it with their public key:
Copy the encrypted block and paste into Vortex message. Only the vendor with matching private key can decrypt it.
When a vendor sends you encrypted message, decrypt with your private key:
GPG will display the decrypted plaintext message. Never share your private key passphrase with anyone.
Export your private key to encrypted USB drive. Store in secure physical location. If you lose private key, you lose access to all encrypted messages forever.
Use 20+ character passphrase with mixed case, numbers, symbols. Write it down and store securely offline. Never store passphrase digitally.
Before trusting a vendor's public key, verify their PGP fingerprint matches official sources. Prevents man-in-the-middle attacks.
Use different PGP keys for different purposes. Create separate key for Vortex marketplace, don't reuse personal PGP keys.
Set key expiration 1-2 years. Rotate keys regularly. If key compromised, attacker's access window is limited to expiration date.
After decrypting messages, securely delete plaintext files using shred (Linux) or secure erase tools. Don't leave decrypted data on disk.
Phishing is the #1 security threat on darknet markets. Learn to identify and avoid fake Vortex sites that steal credentials and cryptocurrency.
Scammers post fake "official links" on Reddit, Dread, and forums. These clone sites look identical but steal login credentials and funds immediately.
Phishing sites use similar .onion addresses with small changes: vort3x instead of vortex, or extra characters that are hard to spot.
Fake "support" accounts message users with phishing links. Vortex NEVER contacts users via Telegram/Discord. All support happens on-site only.
Some exit nodes are malicious and redirect .onion sites to phishing clones. Always verify bookmarked links from this official clearnet site.
vortex-original.shop is the ONLY official clearnet source for verified Vortex .onion mirrors. Bookmark this page in Tor Browser and check it before every login.
Before logging in, manually compare every character of the .onion URL against this official list. Don't rely on visual similarity - check letter by letter.
Example Phishing Tricks:
o with 0 (zero)l (L) with 1 (one)vortexxabc123.onionVortex official announcements are always PGP signed. Learn to verify signatures to confirm messages are authentic. Phishing sites cannot forge valid PGP signatures.
When using a mirror for first time, deposit only small test amount ($10-20). Verify withdrawal works before trusting with larger funds. Phishing sites won't allow withdrawals.
Vortex marketplace operates on .onion addresses which are only accessible through the Tor network. Tor provides anonymity by routing your connection through multiple encrypted relays, hiding your IP address and location. Regular browsers cannot access .onion sites.
All mirrors listed on this page are checked and updated automatically. Mirrors marked ACTIVE are currently online and verified. The PRIMARY mirror is the main official site with highest uptime.
Optional but recommended. Tor Browser alone provides strong anonymity. Adding VPN creates additional layer hiding the fact you're using Tor from your ISP. Use VPN that accepts cryptocurrency (Mullvad, ProtonVPN, IVPN).
Important: VPN → Tor is correct order. Never use Tor → VPN as this can deanonymize you.
You lose access to all encrypted messages permanently. There is no recovery method - this is by design for security. Always backup your private key to encrypted USB drive stored in secure physical location. Consider creating key backup as soon as you generate it.
Android: Yes, use official Tor Browser for Android from Google Play or F-Droid. Works well for browsing but PGP encryption more difficult on mobile.
iOS: Use Onion Browser (official Tor-approved app). Has limitations compared to desktop Tor Browser but functional for basic access.
Recommendation: Use desktop/laptop for important transactions. Mobile for checking messages only.
Tor routes your connection through 3+ encrypted relays across the globe, adding latency. This is necessary trade-off for anonymity. To improve speed: choose "Faster" circuit option in Tor Browser, avoid streaming video, and be patient - security is worth the wait.
