To enhance user experience across different regions and provide additional redundancy, DRUGHUB is deploying a new regional onion mirror optimized for European traffic patterns.
New mirror benefits
Why regional mirrors matter
Onion routing performance heavily depends on geographic proximity to entry nodes. Users in Europe connecting through North American circuits experience higher latency and increased packet loss. Our new drughubeu3x7k.onion mirror deploys dedicated Tor v3 endpoints closer to European population centers.
Latency improvement
Technical implementation
- Identical PGP fingerprint verification
- Synchronized multisig escrow contracts
- Shared vendor database (replicated)
- Circuit padding for traffic analysis resistance
"Regional mirrors don't compromise security—they enhance it through geographic diversity and redundancy."
All mirrors maintain identical security posture. The new Europe endpoint uses the same hardened configuration as existing mirrors, with additional circuit diversity for improved resilience against targeted traffic analysis.
