Forum.onion unable to connect

Support

Got another weird problem. Using Tor Browser, home page, click on forum link I get unable to connect. Using Startpage, Whonix, forum, I get the clearnet page. Click on the onion available icon I get the same unable to connect. Its like the onion site is down for me. I dont know any other onion sites to try. On the home page, click the link to test if using Tor, it tells me I am. Also updates work fine with no errors. The ahmia search page loads fine with an onion address. Did I not pay the bill?

PS, Tor Browser on host, I can get to the Whonix Onion site. I am using kvm whonix. Ideas? Thanks for any help.

The Whonix Forum Onion URL works for me, so here are a few ideas:

  1. Update Tor Browser.
  2. Restart your computer.
  3. Regenerate a new Tor circuit in the Tor Browser (Ctrl + Shift + L).

Thanks for the reply FranklyFlawless. I fixed this problem. 1. TB is most recent. 2. Restarting the host did not fix. 3. This did not fix, but I waited 10 minutes, did it again, did not fix, waited again. Repeat and fixed. This is way beyond my abilities to explain.

This problem has returned. This is what it says: The connection was refused when attempting to contact forums.dds6qkxpwdeubwucdiaord2xgbbeyds25rbsgr73tbfpqpt4a6vjwsyd.onion.

Connection not encrypted

This only happens to Whonix Onion site. Kicksecure Onion works fine. I made no changes to tor-browser and the gateway. My previous fix does not work. Has the website address somehow become an exception somewhere in the gateway? I can work around this problem. Thanks

Is down, I’ve tested it in 3 machines and two different devices

The webpage at http://forums.dds6qkxpwdeubwucdiaord2xgbbeyds25rbsgr73tbfpqpt4a6vjwsyd.onion might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
