Tor-Friendly TLDs

4 TLDs match.

Tor-friendly TLDs exist in jurisdictions that don't actively hunt .onion mirrors or block exit nodes. They're useful for people running legitimate privacy infrastructure—news archives, whistleblower platforms, censorship-resistant mirrors—without constant legal harassment. Most registries don't care what you do with your domain. A few actively don't cooperate with requests to deplatform Tor operators. That matters if your infrastructure is controversial in some countries but legal in yours. Bunkerdomains doesn't log who buys what. We don't reply to DMCA notices. We take crypto. Combine that with a registry that won't fold under pressure, and you get actual friction against takedown requests. That's the point. Tor-friendly doesn't mean lawless. It means the jurisdiction and registry have shown they won't preemptively nuke domains because of the protocol they're accessed through. Journalists, researchers, and people in countries with aggressive censorship use these TLDs. So do some people doing things that are actually illegal. We list them all the same. Pick a TLD from this category if you need to know your registrar won't wake up to a court order next Tuesday.

Inclusion criteria

A TLD qualifies as Tor-friendly if: 1. The registry jurisdiction doesn't criminalize or actively suppress Tor infrastructure itself. 2. The registry has demonstrated reluctance or refusal to comply with out-of-jurisdiction takedown requests targeting Tor services. 3. No blanket policy exists banning .onion services or Tor operators. 4. Historical record shows the registry surviving or ignoring pressure campaigns against Tor-adjacent domains. We don't include TLDs just because they're 'offshore' or unregulated. We include them because operators have shown they actually stand by their neutrality when it gets tested. That's rare. Most registries crumble fast when lawyers get involved. Tor-friendly is a jurisdictional position, not a technical one. The TLD itself doesn't change how Tor works. The registrar and registry do change whether your domain stays live when someone powerful wants it gone.
