Torzon onion not loading? Work through these checks in order
Most failed loads have a boring cause. Start with the cheapest check and only move on when it is ruled out.
Confirm Tor is connected
Open the Tor Browser connection page. If it never reaches "Connected", the problem is your network path, not the Torzon onion itself.
Check the system clock
Tor refuses to build circuits when the computer clock is far off. Set the time and time zone automatically, then restart Tor Browser.
Compare the full address
Paste the torzon onion address into a text editor and compare every character with the copy on a checked source. One wrong letter sends you nowhere.
Ask for a new circuit
Use "New Tor circuit for this site". A slow relay in the middle of the path is the most common reason a page hangs at a blank screen.
Connection first, clock second, address third, circuit fourth: that order fixes most Torzon onion failures.
Need the current address?
The link board on the home page shows which Torzon links are checked right now.
