Browsing Dark Web using Tor Browser
Warning: The Dark Web is a dangerous place. We highly urge users to exercise caution when experimenting in this area. All content published here is for educational purposes only.
1. Download and install the Tor Browser. Today, it is one of the few ways to access dot onion websites, which are located on the Dark Web.
TOR is a variant of the popular Firefox web browser, modified to allow users to browse the web anonymously.
2. Consider using a VPN service
Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are services that offer secure servers that allow private access to the web. These servers mask your origin and may emulate locations from many other places in the world. Data that passes through VPN tunnels is also encrypted. Although TOR masks your identity, it does not hide your location.
