Step-by-step instructions to safely use your Metamask wallet on the Tor network.
Visit the official Tor Project website to download the Tor browser. Follow the installation instructions for your operating system.
Open the Tor browser and complete the initial configuration. Ensure that your connection to the Tor network is successful by visiting any .onion website.
Follow our guide for the Metamask blockchain wallet. Configure your wallet by creating a new one or importing an existing wallet using your seed phrase.
To use Metamask in the Tor browser, open the browser settings and enable support for extensions (this may require advanced configuration depending on your setup). Install Metamask and confirm it works by connecting to a test network.
Use the Tor browser to visit your desired .onion website. Ensure the website is legitimate and secure. Metamask will prompt you to confirm a connection with your wallet when needed.
Always verify .onion links before visiting. Avoid phishing scams, never tell others what you have, and ensure your wallet private keys remain confidential. Use strong passwords and consider additional layers of security including using a VPN and two-factor authentication.
