Download Tor Browser from torproject.org, enable bridges if needed, and paste the .onion address into the address bar. Always verify links through trusted sources before accessing.

Are .onion links safe?

Onion links are safe when accessed through Tor Browser with proper security settings. However, always verify the link is legitimate, use PGP encryption, and never share personal information.
