NovaFuture is now available as a Tor Hidden Service. This page breaks down what that means, why we went this route, and how you can access the site using our onion address.

What is Tor?

Tor (The Onion Router) is a decentralized network that lets you browse the internet anonymously. Instead of connecting directly to a website, your connection bounces through multiple encrypted relays around the world. Bottom line: no one can easily figure out who you are or what you’re doing online. Not even your internet provider. A Hidden Service takes this even further. The site itself exists only within the Tor network, so your connection stays encrypted end-to-end and never leaves the network.

Why does NovaFuture offer Tor access?

Privacy is a fundamental right. We believe everyone should be able to access information freely without being monitored, tracked, or profiled. Offering Tor access is how we make that happen.

Walking the talk. NovaFuture covers autonomy, open-source software, and decentralization. Hosting a .onion means we apply these principles to our own infrastructure. We don’t just talk about it, we do it.

Universal accessibility. In some parts of the world, access to information is restricted or monitored. Our .onion address makes sure NovaFuture stays reachable even in those environments.

How do I access NovaFuture via Tor?

Simple and free. Here’s how:

1. Download a Tor-compatible browser

Head over to the official Tor Project website: https://www.torproject.org. Grab the version for your system (Linux, Windows, macOS). Installation works just like any other software. You can also use the Brave browser (https://brave.com), which has built-in Tor support in its private browsing mode.

2. Launch your browser

Once installed, open Tor Browser (or Brave in private Tor mode). It will automatically connect to the Tor network. This may take a few seconds.

3. Copy our .onion address

Here’s NovaFuture’s Tor address:

zz4qaylwb32lnfbhjk5ubt7so2s7bvovsiml23yquyilierd4uew2nid.onion

Paste this into your browser’s address bar and hit Enter.

4. You’re in!

You’re now browsing NovaFuture with complete privacy. The content is identical to the regular site.

Frequently asked questions

Is this legal?

Yes. Using Tor is perfectly legal in the vast majority of countries. It’s a privacy tool used by journalists, researchers, activists, and regular folks who care about their online privacy.

Is it slow?

Tor is generally slower than a regular connection because traffic gets routed through multiple relays. For reading articles, it works just fine. For HD video streaming, not so much.

Why is the address so long and weird?

.onion addresses are cryptographically generated. That complexity guarantees the site’s authenticity, meaning no one can impersonate our address. It’s a security feature, not a bug.

Can I still use the regular site?

Absolutely 🙂 The regular novafuture.org address works just like before. Tor access is simply an extra option for those who need or want it.

Free information should be accessible everywhere

By offering Tor access, NovaFuture joins a handful of outlets that take accessibility and privacy seriously. We believe information about autonomy, ecology, and digital alternatives should flow freely, without barriers or surveillance. So welcome to NovaFuture, wherever you are, whoever you are.
