DrugHub Market Status
Real-time availability monitor for DrugHub Market onion endpoints. Is DrugHub down? Check the live status below. Our infrastructure performs automated endpoint verification every 6 hours, checking both availability and PGP canary signature freshness against the operator's master key.

30-Day Uptime History
Recent DrugHub Downtime Incidents
April 27, 2026
Secondary Mirror — Brief Unavailability
The secondary DrugHub endpoint experienced approximately 4 hours of intermittent connectivity. The primary mirror remained fully operational throughout. Root cause: Tor relay congestion affecting circuit establishment to the secondary onion address. Resolved — no user action required.
April 14, 2026
Both Mirrors — Scheduled Maintenance Window
DrugHub operators performed a scheduled infrastructure maintenance affecting both endpoints for approximately 2 hours. PGP canary was updated post-maintenance confirming operator control. Resolved — planned downtime.
March 29, 2026
Primary Mirror — DDoS Mitigation
The primary DrugHub mirror activated DDoS protection measures, resulting in elevated response times (8-15 seconds) for approximately 6 hours. The secondary mirror was unaffected and served as the recommended access point during the event. Resolved — protection measures deactivated after attack subsided.
What to Do If DrugHub Is Down
If you are experiencing issues accessing DrugHub Market, follow these steps before assuming the marketplace is permanently offline:
1. Try the alternative mirror. DrugHub maintains multiple onion endpoints for redundancy. If the primary address is unreachable, the secondary endpoint listed on our verified addresses page may still be operational. During our monitoring period, simultaneous outages across both mirrors have occurred only during planned maintenance windows.
2. Check your Tor connection. Verify that Tor Browser is properly connected to the Tor network. A broken circuit, outdated Tor Browser version, or local firewall restriction can prevent access to any .onion address. Try visiting another known onion site to confirm your Tor connection is functional.
3. Wait and retry. Tor hidden services experience transient unavailability due to relay congestion, circuit rebuilding, and network-layer DDoS attacks. Most DrugHub downtime events resolve within 2-6 hours without user intervention. Extended outages beyond 24 hours may indicate an address rotation event.
4. Verify the PGP canary. After any prolonged DrugHub status disruption, check for an updated PGP canary before reconnecting. Address rotation without a new signed canary is a red flag that may indicate a phishing redirect rather than a legitimate endpoint change.
Understanding DrugHub Market Uptime Patterns
Tor hidden services operate differently from clearnet websites. DrugHub Market status fluctuations are normal and do not necessarily indicate security incidents. Based on our monitoring data since Q3 2023, DrugHub maintains an average monthly uptime between 98.5% and 99.8%, which places it in the top tier of Tor marketplace availability.
Common causes of temporary DrugHub downtime include: Tor network congestion during high-traffic periods, DDoS attacks against onion service introduction points, guard relay selection delays during circuit rebuilding, and scheduled operator maintenance. The marketplace's dual-mirror architecture provides structural redundancy — when one endpoint is affected, the other typically remains accessible.
Monitoring DrugHub status through this page provides a more reliable assessment than manual checks because our infrastructure tests both endpoint availability and PGP signature integrity simultaneously. An endpoint that responds but serves an invalid PGP canary is flagged as compromised rather than operational.
