Accessing WeTheNorth Market requires traversing the Tor network. This tutorial outlines the technical requirements for account generation, encryption setup, and order placement within the Canadian darknet ecosystem. Strict adherence to these steps is mandatory for operational security (OpSec).
Network Configuration
The marketplace is hosted as a hidden service on the Tor network. Standard browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox) cannot resolve .onion top-level domains. You must install the Tor Browser to route your connection through encrypted relay nodes, masking your IP address and physical location.
V3 Onion Connection
Utilize the official verified V3 onion address below. This address is cryptographically generated and cannot be spoofed. Ensure you are not utilizing dynamic links found on unverified third-party indexers.
SHA-256 Verified • V3 Protocol • Up Time: 99.9%
DDoS Mitigation
Upon initial connection, you may encounter the WeTheNorth Guard interface. This is a perimeter defense system designed to filter automated bot traffic and DDoS attacks.
- Solve the rotating CAPTCHA or clock puzzle.
- Allow the browser to generate the Proof-of-Work (PoW) token.
- Do not refresh the page during the verification queue.
Identity Creation
Navigate to the "Register" section. The platform requires zero Personal Identifiable Information (PII).
Credentials
Select a unique username unconnected to your clear-net identity. Use a high-entropy password (alphanumeric + symbols).
Withdrawal PIN
Define a 6-digit numeric PIN. This is required for all wallet actions and order confirmations.
Mnemonic Recovery Key
The system will display a Mnemonic Key ONLY ONCE upon registration. Save this offline immediately. It is the only cryptographic method to recover a lost account. Support cannot reset passwords.
PGP 2FA Verification
For maximum security, enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) immediately. Navigate to user settings and upload your PGP Public Key.
Once configured, the server will present an encrypted message block upon every login attempt. You must decrypt this message using your private key to reveal the authorization code. This ensures account integrity even in the event of password compromise.
