It used to be that going through local connections, the ‘hood’, and back alleys was the only way to buy drugs, but the internet has surprisingly changed all that, to the dismay or ecstatic pleasure of the authorities. Now there’s an online black market called Silk Road, now known as Silk Road 2.0, and it’s actually been operating for quite a while. Silk Road 2.0 is a website through which people can go to buy just about any type of illegal drug or paraphernalia they please. For many computer-literate drug users, of which there are many, the market place is a dream come true.

However, there’s been a lot of controversy surrounding Silk Road. The first problem is that its existence has been discovered by the government and the second is that the site was hacked and all the bitcoins of both the company and its customers was stolen. Attempts to shut down the site have been carried out again and again. Some of them proved quite successful, but only for a short time.

It never seems to take long for the site’s drug-selling administers to get business back up and running again. After each attack, the site’s security gets tighter and tighter. That’s another reason that there’s been a lot of talk about the Silk Road 2.0 URL which can be found by clicking that link

It was in October of 2013 that alleged anonymous marketplaces owner Ross William Ulbricht was arrested by the FBI in San Francisco. The FBI subsequently placed a notice on the site that it had been seized. However, this only inspired the re-launch of the site by the company’s administrators, who then dubbed it Silk Road 2.0. Today, many consider Silk Road 2.0 to be the EBay of the underground, as users are able to both buy and sell in the marketplace.

Using the Tor Browser

If you’ve got only Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, or even Opera, you’re out of luck when it comes to accessing the Silk Road 2.0 URL. The Tor browser is the only one that gives users access to this controversial, illegal site. It’s for your own good, though, as

this browser protects users from being tracked and spied on. In fact, not all of those using the services of the Tor Network are doing so to access the Silk Road 2.0 URL. Many of them just want the peace of mind that comes from being safer when they access the web.

In order to use the browser you have to download and install it on your computer, much like all other browsers. However, it still recommended that those who want to access the Silk Road 2.0 URL and be kept safe take other safety precautions in addition to the use of the Tor browser. After all, the FBI was able to track down Ulbricht, weren’t they?

To use the Tor browser, you must use a VPN and hide your location and identity. It’s also important to close down any other programs or browsers that may be running on your computer. A good idea to use a USB flash drive for saving files during the time that you’re accessing the Silk Road 2.0 URL. That way, no records will be found on your computer.
