Tor & the onion web are really that safe & private as they say?
I don't think that's possible
Sort of. Never use it without also using a vpn
Change your IP to a server in Germany they have some pretty good internet privacy laws from what I’ve been told
Never view CP on the website if you can help it even if that’s what you’re looking for instead try and get links to a drop box or another file hosting site where you can remain anonymous and view it from there until it gets taken down.
If you are going to download it don’t keep it on your computer delete it immediately after moving it to a flash drive, or other suitably easy to despose of media (this goes for any questionable data not just cp)
Make sure to use a drive scrubbing program to get rid of it for sure.
All of this and you’re still not 100% safe it’s just the best you can do these days
>>752070385
It was safe. It's been compromised a long time ago. I wouldn't recommend it. Back in 2015 it was fine, but now the place is loaded with feds.
>>752070758
why do people keep recommending to use a vpn?
just curious, are you just repeating what others say or did you do some research and conclude that you need one?
It's safe as long as you do your research. Don't do anything stupid and you won't have to worry about getting a knock at your door
>>752070758
Wow that sounds as so much protection for only being in a high type of network protection.
(sorry, my english is awfully bad)
I use generally MEGA to download shit from that place, principally Doc's. But i not feel Safe
>>752071122
Nice doubles boi
Really is so compromised?
Really we are not anonymous at all in any place?
>>752071313
Awesome answer, i guess
>>752071478
When I say it's compromised i'm referring to the shaky ground that people who use Tor are standing on because of the feds. It's anonymous of course, but that doesn't mean there aren't a ton of feds on the deepweb. I have no idea how many people, if any, have been caught by using Tor, but I think you should know that those fuckers are watching. I went on a forum for something (I'll leave it at that lol), and turns out it was a fucking honeypot. I can't say much more than that.
It is totally secure if you boot using the "tails" operating system and connect over a public network, like your local coffee shop. It's a flash OS pre-configured to use a proxy-vpn array. Seriously, I'm an experienced security professional.
Also, use PGP if you try to communicate.
If you store data from a website that you'd like to keep, encrypt it 512SHA style and store it on a flash drive and hide the drive. Use a keyfile and pw for drive decryption.
>>752071313
or your door kicked down and the SWAT jumping through your windows
>>752071997
well i feel a little more curious about that feeds
I once browsed the deepweb with a phone and with javascript activated just to see some real life straight shotacon
The feds never came
I never went back on the deepweb again, did I dodge a bullet ?
>>752072247
Depends on when it was, honestly. It's a lot worse now. Also, I think enabling Javascript is the opposite of what you should do on those sites but I haven't been on the deepweb in a while so my memory is a bit fuzzy. Honestly i've done a ton of stupid shit and nobody came knocking. For fucks sake, I torrented cheese when I was young. My ISP isn't well known though, so i'm not sure that they give a fuck about anything.
>>752072247
I went on the deep web on my phone as well a couple years ago just to access some leaked ISIS attack plan map (supposedly they were gonna launch an attack on Las Vegas, which is where I used to live), and never had any trouble.
I told some folks on here and hey said I was dancing with the devil, had a low key near death experience and didn't even know it right there. Not too sure if they were shitting me or not, but if they weren't, then you seriously got lucky.
>>752070385
Not really- I suppose you have nothing to worry about if you're not doing anything worthy of attention.
Lol all these fags think they know shit. I have been watching (downloading) Cp for 4 - 5 years and nothing happened but i just tired of Cp i need some gore porn extreme shits give some links faggots.
>>752072575
I go across the phone a couple of years ago.
I only see a kind of blog about fantasizing about being with hailbait's and other shits.
I scared my shit out about being followed and i never do it again.
I don't know if i have been lucky or just a faggot

I think the same about feet and cucks, but who am I to judge?
Tor is not safe, the feds and other government entities actually run many of the tor nodes. THEY CAN AND WILL track you down if they want to.
https://www.extremetech.com/internet/232437-researchers-find-more-than-100-tor-nodes-that-are-snooping-on-users
Tor is only step one of a multi-step process needed to remain truly anonymous. If you are asking this question on /b/ then you don't even need to be thinking about what you were going to use Tor for.
>>752073307
Are you saying that's possible be "truly anonymous?
>>752073307
adding to this guy, there was a huge fed raid on a lot of people a couple of years ago, I mean in the hundreds or thousands numbers of jailed people, thats when everyone knew tor wasn't THAT safe anymore

You're from serbia? Or another country that are in-out wars?
>>752073484
damn close to truly anonymous
Disposable laptop with a NIC you can change the MAC on with no HDD, a linux OS booted from DVD-ROM. VPN into a VPN service that records a minimum of information. Log into a compromised on Azure or AWS through RDP. Use this RDP session to create a VPN connection to a darkweb VPN service then fire up Tor. Nuke the Azure/AWS VM on exit so the admin has to reload or restore a snapshot. NEVER SAVE ANYTHING
This still is only about half of what you need to do to be "anonymous"

How could they recover the data on the computer if you used a drive scrubbing program like DBAN?
>>752074442
>dban
nigga why the fuck would you wipe everything instead of the file itself w/ eraser or something
>>752074442
never trust DBAN or other "zeroing" methods. User error is all it takes and that incriminating evidence you thought you wiped is still intact.

>>752074127
well i'm from Russia maybe it isn't considered in Europe i don't know.
>>752074803
file hashes, the secondary MFT, shadow copies. There are a TON of places that "one" file you erased can show up.
This is why i preach don't save anything. Don't even use a system where you could save something even if you wanted.
Any tutorials on how to set up a secret porn folder?

>>752071219
>why do people keep recommending to use a vpn?
You should just do research. It encrypts your connection from your pc to the vpn server, making it impossible for your ISP to read the data.
Well, until they crack algorithms with quantum computing.
here is a cautionary tale about why "haha my hard drive is encrypted" is not enough to save you.

>>752073617
>veracrypt

veracrypt is compromised.
>>752075453
Connections made via Tor are encrypted between your PC and the entry node, making it impossible for your ISP to read the data. If you don't understand that, you should not be talking about Tor like you know anything about it, because that is some basic shit right there.
>>752075239
Buy a pink flash drive. Store your porn on it. Hide it up your ass when you're not using it.
>>752075627
truecrypt doesnt have the stuff i like plus i can't find the correct DL link lmao
>>752075453
tor does exactly the same, thats why using a vpn is irrelevant unless you want to manually add another layer to the onion router
>>752075737
A VPN prevents your ISP from knowing you're using TOR, which makes your traffic much less interesting.
>>752075426
In Russia walls hit you my friend
>>752074284
this is some primary protection. There are some other crucial steps but it is best not to disclose all due to the public nature of this forum. Some devices have to been invented by yourself in order to remain truly anonymous and therefore must never be shared. Invest some time in studying security and you will see that with advanced techniques almost nobody but the most dedicated can remain anonymous.
>>752075627
>veracrypt is compromised.
Baseless FUD.
>>752076059
Don't be anonymous on the internet; its nearly impossible. It's pretty easy to be someone else though.
>>752075737
connections to a VPN server can be encrypted and encapsulated. Tor only handles certain protocols so "making it impossible for your ISP to read the data" only pertains to anything Tor is handling. Call-home ports are what the FBI used on one of their honeypots to get around Tors
A VPN can actually be detrimental when using TOR

If I start selling weed over Tor markets - using libreboot laptop, using tails at public networks always changing MAC and preferably with an anonymously paid VPN from a privacy friendly country will I still be successful like people used to be in 2015?
Any dealer here that can throw some tips here, mainly concerning going 100% solo in this journey.
>>752077765
you're babbling bubbles from your ass here
you're thinking of this the wrong way entirely, you can't even pin a tor connection to a country, let alone a specific ISP, or area m8, this is regular internet mindset you have here
>>752078159
whats holding people back from making money like they did 2 years ago? does bitcoin flux to much or does shit get taken down all the time?
>>752070385
Why do I never hear anyone suggest using Whonix-Gateway in a VM around these parts?
Jesus christ all that for weed? If you are moving kilos that sounds like the set up. Use pgp as oe anon pointed out also. Weed hould be legal in the next 5 to 10 years. Overboard anon.
I use both regularly. Yes they CAN be safe. But aren't always.
First step is the VPN. A paid one is the way to go. I use NordVPN and they have a 100% no logging policy, which means, all of my internet traffic goes through there servers first, and then they connect me to the desired web page. NordVPN is good because their are thousands of servers to choose from, and hundreds of countries to choose from as well.
The VPN alone is enough to remain anonomous 100% on any clearnet site. However, this is where th tor browser comes in to play. The tor browser is what keeps you even more anonomys. It connects to several different server locations, something like 6, before connection to the final location. This means that to track your origional IP address (which is actually the VPN servers IP) you have to jump through each of the 6 servers in the exact order they were established.
Although if you have a VPN and all you plan on doing is normal stuff you don't need a tor browser, or any of the android versions. However The tor browser also has a hidden perk of allowing you to connect to .onion links, and all the the deep webs hidden services.
Another note. there are hundreds of scripts that run on each individual site. If it is an illegal site, the tor browser has the option to turn off these scripts. These scripts have the ability to access information that can be used to identify you, such as your browser, computer specs, monitor size etc.
If you are going to download something off of the tor browser, make sure all scripts are off, and make sure you DEFINITELY have a VPN (because technically the VPN is downloading the content and just sending it to you after with no log history, so you're not actually doing the initial downloading)
Hope this helps. It's not fool proof. if you're stupid you're going to get caught. but keep in mind, the feds are looking for the producers, not the consumers.
>>752077949
TOR is not safe, period. Please don't use that word. It's a security precaution, like the locks on your door, or having a big barking dog is certainly enough to deter a random kid from breaking in, but won't keep a determined burglar out. You pick your security based on what you have to protect, how much inconvenience you're willing to put up with, and factors like that.
It'll protect your privacy somewhat, but its a tradeoff. The more important it is to keep your communications private, the more security you need. If your life, freedom, or livelihood depends on nobody ever decrypting your communications, TOR is not enough on its own. Accessing the TOR network from a device that can't be linked with you, from a place that can't be linked with you, that's a big improvement. Encrypting your communications and only communicating with people you know and trust will go a long way toward keeping you safe.
Lastly, if you're downloading kiddie porn or doing terrorist shit, just fucking kill yourself and save us all the trouble and expense of locking you up. Thanks!
>>752078599
>the feds
Found another pedo.
He's actually right tho.
>>752078462
Think what you want, anon, but your ISP knows what kind of traffic is going across their networks. They know what IP address they assigned you, and they've got your name, address, all that good stuff on file if you're paying your bills.
No, they don't know what you're doing on TOR, just that you're using it. Unlike normal traffic, VPN connections and TOR both keep your ISP from knowing the destination you're talking to.
Maybe that clears up what I'm talking about?
>>752078599
Same dude here, also if you download anything, make sure to completely disconnect from the internet before opening it.
Also about dropbox, I've been doing my research, and it appears dropbox has a unique sharable url that is encrypted or something. but it's not something you can generate. For example if I wrote a program to generate drop box urls it wouldn't be possible. Which helps. I don't know why yet I'm still looking into it. However I'm still not quite sure if the images and videos you access via dropbox are detectable via say google or chrome etc

>>752075737
>>752075899
but then the problem is the feds can set up a node, and without a vpn and you connecting straight to an exit node they will be able to see everything you are doing. only way to stay safe is use many nodes and find vpn you can trust. (don't store logs)
>>752078159
At some point you have to actually get a physical thing in your customer's hands, and that means using delivery services. They'll arrest your buyer first, go through his shit, he'll tell them everything he knows about your service, and the investigation starts.
You should probably think of a different business to get into. Dealing locally isn't usually a federal thing unless you're into large quantities.

Tor itself is just a modified version of Firefox, there's nothing intrinsically wrong with it
What you wanna do is use a certain type of Flash-booting OS (Don't remember what it's called, it's a form of Linux though) and for the love of god do not use windows
There's not much more you can do aside a VPN which will make you more secure, if i'm not wrong (which is very likely, in ll honesty)
>>752079293
I bet you do motherfucker lol
>>752079286
VPN stands for a virtual private network.
The tor browser is not a virtual private network. The tor browser encrypts all of your data and connects to serveral different servers before arriving at the final location. however it is ALL on your internet connection. It is not a VPN.
VPNS take what you want, access what you want through their OWN servers, send it back to you, and don't log it in their history books.
The tor browser does not. it just encrypts and accesses. But at the end of the day, you could just decrypt your information and figure out who your ISP is and locate your IP and geo location and have you in handcuffs before you take a spoonful of cherios in the morning.
>>752079664
Do your research on google just like I did. I chose NordVPN because it was popular, it was fast, it had 1000s of servers and countries, and it currently had a deal for 70 dollars for 2 years.
However as long as it is fast, and doesnt' log what you do, it's kind of like picking between target and walmart. They all sell the same stuff, just personal preference.
>>752079443
Yeah. I read that, replied to it. I'm just saying, it's better to be one of the 450 VPN users than one of the 12 TOR users if you'd like to keep whatever you're using TOR for private.
Look. If you were a cop and you heard somebody was selling pot in the neighborhood, you wouldn't go door to door, knocking. You'd stop the kid that's vaping on the corner in his Bob Marley shirt and start asking a few questions.

I use private internet access, they are pretty reliable and cheap. also don't store logs and you can pay anonymously through bitcoin and other payment methods. really depends what you are looking for though.
1. encrypt your hard drive. just do it, use veracrypt for windows8+ and truecrypt for windows7, LUKS with high iteration count on Linux
2. if possible use a separate computer for sketchy shit and your regular life.
3. never connect through tor directly; always use a VPN. choose a VPN wisely. pay for the VPN with bitcoins only.
4. never use bitcoin without a VPN, preferably through tor. use multiple wallets and launder your bitcoins regularly. buy your bitcoins anonymously through localbitcoins, not a regulated exchange. launder before and after any exchange. an easy way to do this is to go through an altcoin like monero.
5. do not link your sketchy shit with your real shit. definitely use a different browser, preferably a separate OS. install ublock and umatrix for privacy along with anything else you deem appropriate.
6. USE YOUR BRAIN!!!!

Also for the record I've been doing this since I was 14 using both a VPN and the tor browser, and with all safety precautions included have been doing illegal things without being arrested for the past 8 years now. So there's that.
>>752079588
I'd limit my delivers just to the city I live ( fairly big ). I want to start with just offloading 14 ounces, with plans to expand within a year to max 70 ounces. ( 400g - 2kg )
I need to review many strategies first, because until now the part where my identity is obfuscated works fine, won't suffer if buyer gets caught.
But I need a system to offload product somewhere where I mitigate risk and then communicate with the buyer where to pick it ( of course payment is up-front and I build up on reviews ), me personally going to his address and placing the product there adds unnecessary risk, such as actual feds using the service.
Another thing which I've observed based on people being arrested doing it classic way, feds here are really dumb and limited in capabilities - selling trough anonymized services is really overkill already.
>>752080055
That's what I was saying, you probably just looked this shit up. These things can not be taught like that, you have to learn from experience and actually be a part of the community trying to stay hidden from feds.

Agreed. Even if all you want to do is download movie torrents without comcast yelling at you because you downloaded season 3 of rick and morty and they want to sue.
1. Free VPNs have a data cap, so they arn't good for downloading big files anyways.
2. they are extremely slow. Paids VPNS with a P2P connection are slow as is. Takes me an hour to download a movie. A free VPN maxes you out at a shit data cap which feels like .2 kbs a second
3. Free VPNs don't always garentee a no log policy

>>752070385
The government (NSA etc) control most of the exit nodes. They can also track you if you run Java. Basiaclly turn off all java (go to the settings in the actual browser and turn it to off). Snowden leaked that internal doc a few years ago about what they were up to about hacking it. It's not perfect, but if you're a heavy user/DL'er you can possibly be caught. But they can only track a small percent of the traffic. So there's that.

In India, it's common to get cp without the darkweb.. through groups of college kids. It's kind of disgusting. I've seen a kid going down on an asian woman, why do u wanna see that anon

u muppet
>>752082628
I was wondering just this, heck I found a MEGA link with CP on Facebook
>>752076175
that is called ingenuity right there
>>752081052
>The government (NSA etc) control most of the exit nodes
pure rumor
besides the entry node is the one with your IP if you don't use a VPN
Apparently there's a nigga called Haenobarbus Henocied that showed gore and CP to childrens on Facebook, that was his profile picture apparently
Do you guys think that nigga real ?
>>752082922
NSA shill detected, its a joint operation between FBI and NSA.
>>752083269
prove it

As a teenager i was obsessed with older women. I alway wonder what it would be like to fuck a hot 30 year old as an horny little fuck, but i guess the risk is not worth it.
>>752083335
you have to be an idiot to not realize it. FBI has all eyes on tor, having operations shutting down CP and markets all the time. Snowden is just the cherry on top. I don't know if you use tor, im assuming you don't because if you did you would know basic knowledge like this.

When Tor was designed, it was based off of the Firefox browser, so he's technically not wrong
>>752082922
>being this stupid
The exit node is important. Not the entry. The entry is fucking useless. You'll MAYBE get an IP then have no fucking clue where it went. You get the exit, you can trace it back, if you're so inclined and they fuck up.
>give me undeniable proof that the NSA is secretly running tor nodes
>also give me proof of all government top secret programs
LOL, why wouldn't they be?

You fucking retards, that is what a bridge is for. It's build into the Tor browser, it blocks your ISP from knowing you're using Tor.
You do NOT need a VPN, Tor basically is a fucking VPN.
I've come across various forums with recorded omegle, vchatter, etc. Camming stuff. How safe is it to view/dl on an old unactivated android phone connected to the house wifi, behind a free VPN? Small files, bluetoothed to another phone before opening, and immediately deleted off the 1st phone?
I'm surprised this hasn't been brought up yet: Mechanically remove your mic and webcam. I have to stress the word "Mechanically" because I cannot tell you how many people think just putting tape or a post-it note over ether one is enough to be called "removal." Open up the fucker and take those parts out. If that's impossible to do without damaging the computer, then the computer isn't good for browsing the deep web anyways.
All of these safety measures are in preparation for someone targeting you, be it the Feds, a hacker, or some virus installing bot. This is a basic as hell security measure. Those parts may just be the first thing they look through if possible when trying to reveal who you are.

Not to mention, TOR is literally funded by government grants at over 90%. They try to pass through colleges and shit, but it's easily tracked.

>>752083866
>being this paranoid
mic doesn't really matter, they can't see your cam if you turn off javascript, and putting a bandaid does the job. also just install tails lol
>>752083917
Ok, I saw it, and it's fucking bullshit. There are too many nodes on the Tor network, I seriously doubt most of them are owned by agencies.
Also,
>(don't store logs)
There's no way to verify this. I bet they all store fucking logs. Just because they say they don't, doesn't mean jack shit.
>>752083971
they fund it because they use tor too. they use it for secret communications, which proves how safe it is. but its not foolproof. use VPN for 99.8% efficiency.
>>752083960
Even if there's no simple card in it?
>>752084135
>too many nodes
Not really. You do know that tor is mostly funded by the gubbment right?
>>752083971
>>752084135
agencies have a lot of funding and a lot to gain by monitoring the dark net. not as many nodes as you think too, only some activists and companies probably host them, the end user (90% of tor users) don't set up nodes.
>>752083866
Nigger who has a webcam anyway? Faggots and camwhores. Are you a faggot or a camwhore?

Did you not even read snowdens tor stinks leak?
>>752084174
SIM card? yeah that doesn't do shit, just location with cell service etc. they can still find your location with IP. if android is sending ANY data to google (which they do, just google "chrome botnet" for example), you are fucked.
>>752084258
im a macfag and use tor, I just put a bandaid on the motherfucker. I trust Mac way more than I trust windows/google, I still use tails for hardcore illegal things though
>>752084135
https://metrics.torproject.org/networksize.html
LOL sooooo many tor nodes.... wow! No WAY the government funded tor project is controlled by the government.
>>752084310
no im not reading that shit, like I said use vpn and stay smart, tor isn't all you need to safe browsing. having tails and vpn are a good start though
>>752084205
It is heavily funded by government, but so what? If more people donated, it wouldn't have to be like that. And yes, the government is invested into tor, they fucking use it.
>>752084256
>90% of tor users don't set up nodes

dude ik you can install those on any type computer but who uses laptops to go on deep web? i put all the shit on a usb and just shove in when i want to jacc

Moron.
>>752084542
TOR randomizes the nodes you use every time you connect why would you want to use the same ones every time
>>752070385
I went through most of this thread and I never saw anyone mention Silk Road. They got busted by the feds and they were on TOR. So no, TOR isn't as secure as some people want you to believe. If anything you should be thinking in layers of security.
I'm no hacker or anything but even I know if you want to do anything secure yourself in layers and keep yourself small. At least that way if someone is going to come after you they will have to do a cost benefit analysis to see if you're worth it.
>>752083866
silent wanking solved just don't do anything in front of your Sky box it has a preinstalled hidden spy cam just ask Osama bin Laden

Oh so you are a faggot. Carry on faggot.
>>752084505
Ok, continue using Google Chrome. It's safer that way. Also, you clearly don't know what you're talking about. Which is why I chose to not engage you anymore.

LOL stay low class faggot. And what the fuck are you talking about Chrome? Do you think 4chan is one person? You are, without question, the dumbest person ITT.
>>752084735
alphabay was a more recent example, also many pedo sites. you are an ignorant bitch.
ITT: InfoSec wannabes with their Mr.Robot degree
>>752084775
just get a pc and install tails man, thats as safe as you can get. I've been doing shit on it for 2 years and nothing.
>>752084900
That was my point you fucking sperg. If SR got busted when people thought it was secure, how much less secure do you think it is now.
This turned into r/iamverysmart quickly
OP, follow the official tor guidance for just viewing non porn. Find the dark net market buyer's Bible for everything else.
>>752084946
It was just an example kid.
>>752084991
Tails?
>>752085002
you don't get how they got caught though. they didn't get caught because of tor, they got caught because they were using it like idiots and their website was flawed. you have no knowledge of the event, please stop talking.
>>752084991
Installing tails on a pc defeats the entire purpose of using tails.
>>752085085
look it up, all pedos use it because it makes it WAYYY harder to track you down. its linux on a usb drive, and all activity you do on it goes through nodes, not just tor.
>>752085143
what else would you install tails on, an iPhone? I mean any computer, not on a windows VM.
>>752085095
I'll give you that one. I had heard that the feds had control of the nodes. Yes I am someone on /b/ who is admitting they're wrong.
>>752085226
You don't install it, you run it from a thumb drive as a VM.
>>752084965
Who you callin a wanna be nigga
>>752085002
That moron actually got busted because he went on regular internet, to various forums, with the same user name, and posted about buying/owning silk road. Then, the moron linked his email address....which was just his fucking name. "[email protected]."
And for faggots that say "use an internet cafe!!!" That's how he got caught. He logged into the email address with his name, and they were monitoring it. Saw he logged in at the coffee shop AGAIN, and homeland secuirty paid him a visit.
I like that every time there's a thread about Tor everyone begins to argue about the security and faults of it
>>752085177
>all pedos use it because it makes it WAYYY harder to track you down.
>all privacy enthusiasts [...]*
You sound like a straight agent, trying to shill tails to pedos.
>>752085246
they do have control of nodes, but thats not why they were caught. and thanks man, kek
>>752085226
Tails is meant to be a bootable temp OS with no permanent storage. Actually try to use before posting.
>>752085095
he's right you know
>username DPR
>>752085287
>you don't install it
yeah, because tails just magically appears on your usb some day. I meant installing it on a usb ofc.
>>752085352
>>752085305
no im not, im just speaking the truth. pedos have the most to lose, up to 30years in jail if they get caught. they are going to use the most secure thing if possible.
>>752085352
You don't get marks for what you meant to say faggot.
>>752085329
This. The other anon is a fucking idiot. Lol
>>752085352
You fucking idiot
Tails is live boot dumb ass
No wonder you get hacked

Agreed. Expect to see a lot more of these too within the next month, since Net Neutrality is being threatened again (as if using TOR can stop what's supposed to change?).
For anyone lurking this thread and trying to figure out what's best, just take notes on the top dogs that look like they know what they're talking about, and shoot for the best in everything. You can never be too safe; that's all there is to know.
>>752085352
Fuck off, nigger. We know tails is your main OS, now you're trying to not appear retarded. Too late.
>>752085505

Look at the scripts in network. Prettify the code, it's logging your shit and sending it to an unknown server. It's grabbing the size of your device, browser, IP address, device hardware, etc.

Mfw ive just been using Tor on a regular windows 7-10 laptop for the last 4 years and have ordered drugs domestically and over seas without a VM or VPN at least 100 times.
as long as youre not a kingpin or CP distributor you literally have nothing to worry about.

excessive security measures are a waste of time.
>>752089135
You're a buyer - it's not viable for cops in your country / region to start wasting resources on arresting all buyers - new ones will surface, dealers are the problem and the maintainers of marketplaces.
Btw can you check your markets and see if any vendor ships from Romania, then maybe point me the market name - ty !
