Monero Love on Tor: Website, SimpleX and Nostr

Find Monero Love's Tor onion addresses for the website, Nostr relay and SimpleX servers, with connection tips and privacy limits.

A reader reaches a website through layered cream and orange paper arches

Monero Love's website, Nostr relay and SimpleX servers have Tor onion addresses. Use the website address in Tor Browser, the relay address in a Nostr client, and the messaging and file-server addresses in SimpleX Chat.

This directory collects the published connection details in one place. We checked the addresses against our public pages on November 11, 2026. Onion connectivity was not independently tested for this article.

Read Monero Love over Tor

Our website's published onion address is:

Plain text
http://monerodgop4pkzfq2exi3tms4u5vsayfsiri62gc3s45gosske2hszqd.onion

Copy it into Tor Browser and bookmark the complete address. You can also find it through the Tor link in the Monero Love website footer.

Tor Browser handles its own onion connections, but it does not automatically route a separate messaging application through Tor. Our website-over-Tor guide explains browser setup and external links.

Use our Nostr relay

Add this address in a compatible Nostr client's relay settings:

Plain text
ws://5vpajljniv5i762fnx62snwtfm2ru3ycbjlxs35evndkvp6rqprfwnqd.onion

The client must support onion relays and route its connection through Tor. Keep the ws:// prefix. Some browser clients cannot use this address from an HTTPS page because of mixed-content restrictions.

The onion and clearnet addresses reach the same relay and stored events. Public posts and public keys remain visible, and connections to other relays follow your client's own settings.

See our Nostr relay guide for setup and retention rules. The relay's service page lists its current connection addresses.

A laptop connects through Tor to a relay that also has a direct connection.

Use our SimpleX servers

SimpleX uses complete server addresses containing a certificate fingerprint, hostname and protocol. Copy the whole string.

Messaging server (SMP)

Plain text
smp://SA0iVwPZ3nLhIzfXzbBrWK_FnjRzurBTGWPkNbhcM98=@smp.monero.love,zuefrezq5anduetxnyx42b3gm4wmqptxs74copomkoko6oduxrwjopyd.onion:5223

File-transfer server (XFTP)

Plain text
xftp://s7KDblc_cKgw9a6t3Xq2egTP56Gak7TsH_UIRKWKX70=@xftp.monero.love,myfxpjglptj3iych4jtlhhgzdjswqch5ted4ugzxle4ltbjegc2bj3ad.onion

In SimpleX Chat, open Settings → Network & servers and add each address under its corresponding server type. The paired addresses include clearnet hostnames, so copying them alone does not enforce Tor.

On Android and desktop, enable Use SOCKS proxy with a working Tor proxy, then configure Use .onion hosts. On iOS, the proxy and onion controls are under Advanced network settings. The required onion option refuses a server connection when its address has no onion hostname. Check the official SimpleX settings guide for your platform.

These settings do not route everything the app does. SimpleX documents that calls connect without the SOCKS proxy.

Run the server tests and save the configuration. Joining our news channel is a separate step from choosing servers. The SimpleX service page has the current addresses and invitations.

Connection privacy and its limits

Tor onion services encrypt traffic between the Tor client and onion host and authenticate the onion address. The connection stays inside Tor without an exit relay. The Tor Project explains how the connection works.

Those protections apply to the connection. Information you publish, identifying details you send, and traffic your application sends through other routes still matter.

If a service fails, check the complete address, protocol and port, confirm Tor has connected, and consult the relevant service page. A working website does not prove that your Nostr client or SimpleX app is using Tor.
