Contact & Report a Listing

TORDIR takes listing reports — takedowns, moved services, compromised sites, anything that should not be in this directory — over SimpleX Messenger. No email, no account, no phone number. SimpleX has no user IDs, so you can report pseudonymously. Reports go to the operator’s phone.

QR code for the TORDIR SimpleX contact address

Copy it, tap Open in SimpleX, or scan the QR code — Step 3 below walks through each.

Step 1 — Install SimpleX

SimpleX Chat is free and open source. Only install it from these official sources:

iPhone / iPad: SimpleX Chat on the App Store.
Android: Google Play, F-Droid, or the APK straight from simplex.chat/downloads if you avoid app stores.
Desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux): download the installer for your system from simplex.chat/downloads.

Step 2 — Create Your Profile

Open the app. There is no sign-up: no phone number, no email, no username to register.
Enter any display name — it does not have to be your real name — and tap Create profile. Your profile is stored only on your device.
When asked about notifications, choose whatever you are comfortable with. Reports work either way.

Step 3 — Connect to TORDIR

Reading this on your phone? Tap Open in SimpleX in the TORDIR SimpleX Address box above — the app opens with the connection ready to send.
Or in the app: tap the + / new chat button (pencil icon), choose Connect via link (or Scan / paste link), and paste the TORDIR SimpleX address from above.
On another device? Use the same menu, pick the scan option, and point your camera at the QR code on this page.
Confirm the connection request. Once it shows as connected, send your report: the listing’s .onion address and what is wrong with it.

Optional — Extra Privacy Tips

Incognito mode. When connecting, turn on Incognito and SimpleX sends TORDIR a random profile name instead of your main one.
Route through Tor. On Android, install Orbot and add SimpleX to Orbot’s app list, or keep Orbot running and turn on Use SOCKS proxy in SimpleX’s network settings. On desktop, run Tor and point that same SOCKS proxy option at it. This hides your IP address from the relays.
Lock the app. Turn on SimpleX Lock in privacy settings so the app needs a passcode or biometrics to open, and set a database passphrase.
Disappearing messages. In the chat with TORDIR, open the contact info and enable Disappearing messages so the conversation deletes itself after the time you choose.

How SimpleX Delivers Messages

SimpleX relays are mailboxes, not chat rooms. TORDIR uses SimpleX’s standard public relays — nothing extra to set up on your side. Four things worth knowing:

No accounts, no IDs. The server has no user registry. It cannot know who you are, who you message, or what contacts you have — there is no social graph to leak, sell, or seize.
End-to-end encrypted, always. Messages are encrypted on the sender’s device and decrypted only on the recipient’s (double ratchet, the same protocol family as Signal, plus an extra encryption layer for each queue). The relay only ever sees ciphertext.
Deleted on delivery. A message waits in its queue — as ciphertext — only until the recipient’s app picks it up, then the server deletes it. Relays keep no message archive. A seized or snooped relay holds live queues, not history.
One queue per conversation. Every connection gets its own anonymous queue, so activity in one conversation reveals nothing about any other.

Attack Vectors — What Can and Can’t Happen

A malicious or seized relay can see the IP address you connect from, plus timing and message sizes. It can delay or drop messages. It cannot read content, see your other conversations, or forge messages — signing keys live only on the devices. Hide your IP from relays by connecting through Tor (SimpleX supports a SOCKS proxy) or a VPN.
A network observer (ISP, workplace Wi-Fi) sees an encrypted connection to a server address — not content, not recipients. Tor or a VPN hides the destination as well.
Timing correlation. A powerful adversary watching both ends of a conversation could try to guess who talks to whom from timing alone. No-IDs design and separate queues make this far harder than on account-based messengers, but no tool fully defeats a global observer — we won’t pretend otherwise.
Your device is the real frontier. If your phone is compromised, no messenger’s encryption matters. Set an app passphrase and keep your OS updated.
Public-address spam. Anyone with the address above can send a single connection request. It carries no payload, can be ignored or deleted, and the address itself can be retired and replaced at any time without affecting existing conversations.
Downtime. If a relay is offline, messages wait instead of leaking — availability is what’s at stake, never the content.

What to Report

Lead with the full .onion address from the listing, then the problem: moved, hijacked, content that violates the directory policy, or a listing that is yours and you want removed. The delisting standard is in the removal protocol. Copyright matters: see the DMCA notice.
