Title: New to SR. Haven't been able to access the site since Tuesday :(
Post by: sizequeen1979 on May 30, 2013, 10:18 pm
Hi glad I can access the forums but I haven't been able to get into the main SR marketplace site since Tuesday night:(

I've tried from two PC's using a variety of VPN locations and using the latest TorBrowser.

I'm using this bookmarked URL:

http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion.to/silkroad/home

But it keeps coming up with

The connection has timed out
The server at silkroadvb5piz3r.onion.to is taking too long to respond.

I've tried early morning, daytime and late night but still no joy for the past 48 hours!

Anyone else suffering the same? Would appreciate some advice or an alternative URL. Tried some earlier but same problem.

Don't use .to, it's not as secure. Use: http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/

Good luck!

Brilliant! That worked - thanks very much for the quick response :D

I'll remove all my .to bookmarks and remember your advice.
