About dnf.fail
The independent uptime monitor for darknet services.
Origin & Vision
Launched in 2015 and rebuilt in 2025, dnf.fail was created to provide trusted, real-time monitoring of darknet marketplaces, forums, and services. With exit scams and phishing attacks on the rise, the need for a neutral watchdog became urgent.
Today, we serve thousands of daily users with verified data, historical uptime insights, and mirror listings for critical onion services.
Our Mission
- Neutral Monitoring – We do not endorse or promote any darknet site.
- Transparency – All checks are verifiable and timestamped.
- Security – Built for Tor, with zero third-party tracking or JavaScript requirements.
- Privacy – We collect nothing. You remain fully anonymous when visiting this site.
How It Works
Each darknet site is checked automatically every few minutes using our distributed nodes. We collect:
- ✅ Online/offline/unstable status
- 📈 Uptime performance over 7-day periods
- 📍 List of available mirrors (submitted by verified admins)
Status data is always fresh and publicly available — no account or JavaScript needed.
