What is the Dark Web?

The dark web is a hidden layer of the internet accessible only through specialized software like Tor Browser. Unlike the surface web indexed by search engines, the dark web operates on encrypted networks, providing unprecedented privacy and anonymity.

This encrypted environment uses the Tor network—a system of volunteer-operated servers that route your internet traffic through multiple layers of encryption, making it nearly impossible to trace back to you.

While the dark web has legitimate uses for privacy-conscious users, journalists, and activists, it's crucial to understand the risks and navigate it safely with proper guidance.

Requires Special Software

Accessible only through Tor Browser or similar privacy tools that route traffic through encrypted networks.

Encrypted & Anonymous

Uses multiple layers of encryption to protect your identity and browsing activity from surveillance.

Not Indexed by Search Engines

Sites use .onion addresses that aren't discoverable through Google or other traditional search engines.
