Connecting to CRMC's Tip Submission System
This page will help you get set up to securely submit tips to Cascadia Risk Management Corporation (CRMC) using the Tor network. Tor helps protect your privacy by routing your connection through multiple relays, and it is required to access CRMC’s .onion tip portal.
Tip portal address: http://6fq2pursco2hu4t5y7sfof74mbtt5tsfwm764ltsya3qvstc3urhsoyd.onion
Important: At this time, the CRMC tip portal does not work from iPhone/iPad (iOS). Please use a desktop computer (Windows/macOS/Linux) or an Android device with Tor Browser.
Quick start (fastest path)
- Desktop: Install Tor Browser on Windows, macOS, or Linux.
- Android: Install Tor Browser from Google Play.
- Open Tor Browser and tap/click Connect. If Tor is blocked, choose Configure / Use a bridge.
- Paste the CRMC tip portal address into the address bar: http://6fq2pursco2hu4t5y7sfof74mbtt5tsfwm764ltsya3qvstc3urhsoyd.onion
Safety note: Only download Tor Browser from reputable sources. Avoid unofficial “Tor browser” apps and look-alikes.
Desktop setup (Windows, macOS, Linux)
- Go to torproject.org/download and download the Windows installer.
- Run the installer and install.
- Open Tor Browser from your Start Menu.
- Click Connect. If Tor is blocked, click Configure Connection → enable Use a Bridge (e.g., Snowflake).

- Download the Linux archive from torproject.org/download.
- Extract the .tar.xz file to a folder you control.
- Run start-tor-browser.desktop (or equivalent launcher).

iOS is not supported for this tip portal. At this time, CRMC’s .onion tip submission system does not work reliably on iPhone/iPad due to platform and browser constraints.

- If you only have iOS available right now, consider switching to a desktop/Android device for tip submission.
Open CRMC’s .onion tip portal
Onion addresses only work inside Tor Browser. Open Tor Browser, connect, then paste the URL below.
http://6fq2pursco2hu4t5y7sfof74mbtt5tsfwm764ltsya3qvstc3urhsoyd.onion
- Make sure Tor Browser is connected.
- Paste the onion URL into the address bar.
- Press Enter / Go.
Tip: Copy/paste the onion address rather than typing it to avoid errors.
Be cautious: Only share details you’re comfortable sharing. If you include identifying information, consider whether it’s necessary for your tip and ensure you’re on the correct onion address.
Troubleshooting
- Enable Bridges in Tor Browser (often Snowflake).
- Try switching networks (cellular vs Wi-Fi) or restarting Tor Browser.
- Some networks block Tor by policy.
- Double-check the onion URL (one character off will fail).
- The onion service may be temporarily offline—try again later.
- Make sure you’re using Tor Browser, not a regular browser.
- Try different Tor Browser security levels (Standard/Safer/Safest). Higher levels can disable scripts.
- Reload once—Tor circuits can be slow and occasionally time out.
