VPN if you already have one. Tor Browser from torproject.org if the VPN also fails.

Should I grab more links from a chat?

No. Change the network, then reuse the same two marketplace buttons.

Filters

Blank page is a cut line, not a dead shop

If MATANGA LIFE never draws a form, I treat it as a network cut. I do not go hunting five extra domains. I change the path, then press the same two buttons.

Open marketplace Backup link

Triangle mark: MATANGA LIFE blocked by a filter, not a missing login — A closed gate is the ISP. It is not a reason to type a password on a look-alike host.

VPN versus Tor

	VPN	Tor Browser
When I use it	I already pay for one	VPN also dies, or I want a clean path
Where I get it	The vendor I already know	Only torproject.org/download
After it connects	Main link, then backup	Same two links, no “unlocker” add-on

EFF’s Surveillance Self-Defense is the longer version of this: change the route, do not install mystery helpers.

What I do not install

Anything named “official unlocker”. A certificate warning I am told to click through. For the actual sign-in order, go back to the login page.

Two questions

VPN or Tor first?

VPN if it is already on the machine. Tor from the official download if the VPN is useless tonight.
