Title: DO I NEED A DEEP WEB BROWSER TO ACCESS MY BLOCKCHAIN.INFO WALLET?
Post by: coinriches on December 04, 2017, 02:31:36 PM
When ever I try to login lately I usually get an 'Aprove this lofin attempt' email message. And when I click the Link to approve in the mail, i get this error message:
"This site can’t be reached

blockchainbdgpzk.onion’s server DNS address could not be found.
DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN"

Should I go look for a .onion browser?

To access blockchain.info you don't need an onion browser (Tor) but you want to access it using their onion address, then of course you will need to use Tor or any browser sending and getting requests via the Onion network.

Based on what I see, you tried to resolve an .onion-URL from a network not connected to the onion network.

So I might have two suggestions:
1) Use the normal blockchain.info using your normal internet connection and the normal browser
2) Download and Run Tor and access the site via its onion address ->  blockchainbdgpzk.onion

Also if you want, before opening blockchain.info, you can run a VPN session on your machine.

I hope I was able to help you with this  :)

Why do you want to access Blockchain.info through the Tor network? Most of the exit nodes are rumoured to be operated by

government agencies, so it is a waste of time. True anonymity is a complete waste of time and I do not even think it is

possible. We use the internet for years and think if we use Tor or VPNs, we are safe... and then information is released on

Wikileaks, showing us tools that were used for years by governments to track all traffic. Anonymity is not guaranteed.  :P

If you're trying to access the Onion address  (https://blog.blockchain.com/2014/12/03/improved-security-for-tor-users/) (which looks like the case) then your need Tor browser otherwise Chrome, Firefox or any other browser are just fine.

The dark web is only a small part of the deep web.  To access the dark web you'll need to download Tor from their official website (https://www.torproject.org/).

However, you don't need the dark web to access your blockchain.info wallet - you can just use their clearnet wallet.

Also, if you've accessed their clearnet site several times and given information which could potentially reveal your identity to them anyway, I don't see much point in starting to use their darknet site now.

Yesterday, too, faced such a problem, gave an error after after confirmation by e-mail. I was helped to re-send the letter for confirmation, and even not the first time.

I'm sure some anonymity and privacy freak use it. Also, it does not matter even if the exit nodes operated by NSA, As long as you use all encrypted traffic, it should not be possible to track you just via the exit node.

It is entirely achievable, That is why many people advise to use no-log VPN service before connecting to Tor and always using HTTPS everywhere.
