Full Nexus Mirror List & Verified Onion URLs 2026

Complete Nexus Mirror List

The table below is the full Nexus mirror list — every active onion address that fronts the marketplace, gathered in one place so you never have to gamble on a search result. Each row is interchangeable: same account, same vendors, same orders behind every mirror. You are only choosing which onion door to walk through.

Why keep a complete list rather than a single link? Because Tor onions move. A mirror that worked yesterday can be slow under a DDoS flood today or aged out of the rotation tomorrow. With the full set in front of you, a stale address is a non-event — you simply drop to the next verified mirror and carry on. The single most common reason people get locked out of Nexus is relying on one bookmarked URL; the single best fix is keeping two or three verified mirrors close at hand.

How to use the list well

• Start at the top. The list is ordered by uptime, so the first verified Nexus mirror is usually your fastest route in.
• Give Tor a moment. A mirror loading slowly is normal; wait fifteen seconds before deciding it is busy.
• Switch, do not panic. If one mirror genuinely will not open, the next one almost certainly will. The marketplace is not down just because a single onion is.
• Copy, never type. A 56-character address is impossible to retype reliably. Use the Copy button on every row.

The status and uptime columns are your first filter. A green status with high uptime is the obvious first pick; a "checking" status usually just means the address has not been manually re-checked recently rather than that it is dead. But the columns only narrow the field — the decisive check is the PGP signature, covered next. Every verified Nexus mirror on this list is meant to be confirmed by you before you trust it, and that habit is what keeps a clone off your screen.

A quick word on what "complete" means here. The list reflects the active mirrors known at the last update; Nexus rotates addresses, so the set shifts over time. The mini-dashboard's last-checked timestamp tells you how fresh the snapshot is. If that timestamp is old, lean harder on PGP and the canary before trusting any single row, and re-pull the list when you can.

How to Verify Each Nexus Mirror

Verifying a Nexus mirror is a short routine, and on a list like this you run it per address rather than once for the whole page. The point is simple: a phishing clone can copy the layout of this page perfectly, but it cannot forge a valid PGP signature. So the signature, not the look, is what you trust.

The per-mirror verification routine

1. Check the v3 format. Confirm the address is exactly 56 characters, ends in .onion, and starts with the nexus prefix. Reject anything that fails on length or prefix before you go further.
2. Import the Nexus PGP key once. You only do this the first time. After that the key lives in your keyring and every future verification is faster.
3. Verify the signed mirror list. Nexus publishes its official mirror list signed with that key. Verify the signature on the list and confirm the exact address you want to use appears inside the signed text. If the signature fails, the list was tampered with — stop and do not use it.
4. Read the warrant canary. A current, validly signed canary is a positive trust signal. A stale or missing one is a reason to slow down and re-verify through another channel before logging in.
5. Compare the full string. Clones swap a single character deep in the middle of the address where the eye skips. Match the whole 56-character string against the signed list, not just the first and last few characters.
6. Withhold credentials until the marketplace loads. A genuine Nexus mirror renders the marketplace first; login comes after. Any page demanding your username, password, or PGP passphrase before the site appears is harvesting them.
7. Confirm 2FA behaves normally. Inside, your 2FA prompt and PGP challenge should look exactly as they always do. An altered or missing security step is a warning even when the URL looked right.
8. Re-verify after a rotation. When a mirror changes, run this routine again on the new address. Rotation is routine; skipping verification during a rotation is exactly how people land on a clone.

Item 3 is the load-bearing step. Everything else is a sensible filter, but the PGP signature is the one check that does not depend on judgement or appearances — either the signature holds or it does not. Build the habit of cross-checking against the signed list, and the rest of the routine becomes a quick formality.

A short note on the warrant canary, since it is less familiar than PGP. A canary is a signed statement the operators update on a schedule to indicate the status of the service. Its value is in the routine: a canary that updates on time and verifies cleanly is reassuring, and one that goes quiet is a prompt to be more careful, not to panic. Read it alongside the signature, not instead of it. Our verify a Nexus mirror with PGP guide walks through the one-time setup.

Nexus Mirror Rotation Explained

Rotation is the reason this list changes, and understanding it turns a confusing "my link stopped working" moment into a routine "switch to the next mirror" one.

Nexus rotates its mirrors for a few concrete reasons. DDoS pressure is the big one — Tor hidden services draw denial-of-service floods, and spreading traffic across several mirrors means an attack on one address leaves the others serving normally. Filtering and aging is the second — onion addresses get added to block lists or simply age out, so fresh ones come online while older ones cool off. And infrastructure failover is the third — Nexus runs RAM-only databases with automatic failover, so the public mirror set is the visible side of a system built to keep serving when individual nodes drop.

What does rotation mean for you in practice? Mostly nothing dramatic. You notice that a bookmarked address no longer resolves, you open this list, and you copy a fresher verified Nexus mirror. The marketplace behind it is identical. The whole experience is a few seconds of switching, not a lockout — provided you kept a backup or know where this list lives.

What to do when a Nexus mirror is not working

• Wait a beat. Tor is slow; a mirror that seems unresponsive may just be loading. Give it fifteen seconds.
• Try the next mirror. Drop down the list to the next verified address. One slow onion does not mean the marketplace is down.
• Re-pull the list. If several mirrors are stale, the set has likely rotated — refresh this page or re-check against the signed list for current addresses.
• Verify the new one. Whatever fresh mirror you land on, run the PGP routine before logging in. Rotation is the moment clones try hardest to rank.

The uptime figures on this list — Nexus sits near 99.5% across the set — exist precisely because rotation and failover work. High uptime is not the absence of rotation; it is rotation doing its job, keeping a reachable address available even as individual onions come and go. It also helps to know what rotation is not. It is not a sign the marketplace is unstable, and it is not a reason to grab the first fresh-looking address you find in search. Treat every rotation as a prompt to verify, not as a scramble, and the experience stays calm and quick.

Nexus Connection Guide

Getting from this list to the marketplace is four steps. Run them in order.

1. Open Tor Browser. Use the official build from torproject.org, kept current. For stronger isolation, run it inside Tails or Whonix so every connection is forced through Tor. A verified mirror in an unsafe browser is still a risk.
2. Copy a verified Nexus mirror. Take the top address from the list with its Copy button. Never retype a 56-character onion — one slip is a different site entirely.
3. Verify before login. Cross-check the address against the PGP-signed list and confirm the canary is current. This is the step that distinguishes a real Nexus mirror from a clone, so never skip it during a rotation.
4. Open and sign in normally. Paste the address into Tor Browser, let the marketplace load, and log in with your credentials, 2FA, and PGP challenge as usual. If any security step looks off, stop and re-verify the mirror.

That is the entire connection flow. If the first verified Nexus mirror is busy, work down the list; every entry leads to the same place. For the at-a-glance view with the N/N-online dashboard, the live Nexus mirror status table on the homepage shows the same set.

Backup & Bookmarking Nexus Mirrors Safely

A backup mirror is the difference between a five-second switch and being locked out, so the habit is worth getting right. The principle: save more than one verified Nexus mirror, save them somewhere private, and re-check them on a schedule.

Safe bookmarking, in practice

• Bookmark verified mirrors, not search results. Once an address passes the PGP routine, save it. Bookmarking verified mirrors means you skip search engines next time — and search results are exactly where phishing clones try to surface.
• Keep two or three, never one. A single bookmark goes stale during a rotation and locks you out. A short backup list means a dead address is a non-event.
• Store them privately. Keep your saved Nexus mirrors in an encrypted note or your Tor Browser bookmarks, not in a synced cloud doc that leaves Tor.
• Re-verify on a cadence. Check your bookmarks against the signed list and the warrant canary every week or two. Rotation means even a good bookmark ages.

A "backup link" in this context simply means a second or third verified mirror held in reserve. It is not a different kind of address — it is the same verified onion, kept ready so a rotation never strands you. The small discipline of keeping a short, re-checked backup list is what separates a smooth return to Nexus from a frustrating hunt through search results.

One last habit: when you do switch to a backup, verify it before you log in, just as you would a fresh address. A bookmark you saved three weeks ago deserves the same PGP check as a brand-new mirror, because the address could have rotated since you saved it.
