When accessing a website that uses an onion service, Tor Browser will show in the URL bar an icon of an onion displaying the state of your connection: secure and using an onion service. An onion address is a string of 56 letters and numbers, followed by ".onion". Just like any other website, you will need to know the address of an onion service in order to connect to it.

onion também ajuda o Tor a garantir que está se conectando ao lugar certo e que a conexão não está sendo adulterada.
