About This Resource
wethenorthurl.com is an independent information site about We The North — the Tor-based marketplace focused on Canadian buyers and vendors. We are not the market. We do not run marketplace servers, handle payments, or list products. What we publish is reference material: how the platform works, how to use it safely, and where to find community discussion.
The content here comes from people who actually use WTN and the broader Tor ecosystem — not from the market operators. If something on these pages is wrong, tell us through the contact page.
What This Site Covers
Most of the practical material lives in our guide section — Tor Browser, PGP, Monero deposits, Tails, vendor reviews, and disputes.
The forum page explains how WTN's built-in discussion board works — vendor feedback threads, security boards, and how posting permissions change as your account ages. The homepage carries platform reference: features, access steps, payment options, mirror status, and a FAQ for the questions that come up every week.
Guides are linked from the homepage and forum where a topic needs more room than a single section allows. We add new ones when a subject keeps generating the same questions in community threads.
Background on We The North
We The North went live in 2021 as a buyer-vendor platform aimed at Canadian users. The interface stayed deliberately plain — few scripts, no banner clutter — because heavy pages load slowly over Tor. That design choice stuck, and the market built a steady user base around domestic vendors who understand local shipping.
WTN runs a written content policy that limits what vendors can list. That policy shapes who applies and what the community looks like over time. For a full picture of how the platform handles payments, disputes, and vendor bonds, see the features section on the homepage.
Transparency and Trust Principles
We keep this site small on purpose. No ad networks, no analytics scripts, no accounts to create. What you see in the HTML is what gets served.
- No Tracking
- We do not run analytics, tracking pixels, or any form of user monitoring. The site serves static HTML files. No JavaScript is required to use any page. Read our full privacy policy for details.
- No Advertising
- There are no ads on this site. No banner networks, no sponsored links, no affiliate commissions. We have no revenue tied to what you read here.
- No Market Affiliation
- We are not the We The North market team. We do not receive payment from the market operators, and we have no access to market infrastructure. We write about WTN the same way any informed user would — except we publish the results on a public site.
We publish what we verify. We disclose how we verify it. We take no money from anyone involved. These three commitments are non-negotiable.
Corrections, phishing reports, and general questions go through the contact page.
Community and Reference Material
WTN's own forum sits inside the market — vendor reviews, security threads, dispute case studies, and admin announcements. Our forum page describes how that board is organized and what to expect after you log in.
This site sits alongside that community: guides for tasks the forum pins but never has room to explain fully, plus homepage reference for platform mechanics. Nothing here replaces reading vendor feedback before you spend money — but it should save you from repeating mistakes other buyers already documented in public threads.
