How To Get Into The Dark Web

If you are not familiar with the world of the hidden Internet, Deep Web or the Dark Web, then I am going to define you what that means and how to get into the Dark Web in this article. 




What is The Deep Web? 

Defining the Deep Web first, it is basically the part of the Internet where it has a huge number of unindexed websites with different URLs (ending with .onion) than the ones familiar to us. The Deep Web, aka the Invisible Web, the Hidden Web and the Hidden Internet, is all of the websites which are not displayed and hidden from the actual big search engines, such as Google and Bing, go to the Deep Web. The Deep Web is approximately five times larger than the surface Internet, roughly 80% or so, that we're all familiar with. It's incredibly vast and there is a lot of illegal activity going down there for sure all the time.


What is The Dark Web? 

The Dark Web, on the contrary, is the encrypted overlay network which is found between Tor servers, which I am going to talk about, and their clients. This network requires a specific authorization to access. The Dark Web represents a small part of the whole Deep Web itself. The term "Deep Web" sometimes used by mistake to refer to the Dark Web (Tor servers and their clients).

To access the Dark Web, it requires you a specific software permissions or configurations access. It is actually rather simple and there is still a lot of messed up stuff on there. Surely, that's where all the drugs, the counterfeit, child pornography and everything illegal. It is not all of the content found on dark Web is actually bad or dangerous but most of it is harmful and illegal.
So, you have to be careful when getting into the Dark Web. 

How To Get Into The Dark Web?

To get into the Dark Web, you have to use a VPN first to conceal your real IP address and make you a little bit harder the track.  This doesn't mean that you're invulnerable; they can still get to you. So, proceed with caution. 

The next thing you want to do is to head to your browser Chrome, Safari, Firefox or whatever the case is. Then, log on to torproject.org and download the TOR Browser to use it as the dark web browser. Once it's finished downloading, install the program and run it. You are going to see a window with two buttons Connect and Configure. Go ahead and just click the top one connect. You are pretty much on the Deep Web now or more specifically on the Dark Web (Tor Network). 

You can use Tor Browser homepage as your search engine but it's a little messy and I think for starters, you might want to start out at their wiki page which is pretty a pretty good thing they use. 

If you are going to use the browser in the top right corner, I would suggest adding DuckDuckGo as your search engine because it does not keep any of your personal information.

If you ever are in a situation where you think you're in a bad spot, and you want to get out in case there is someone is trying to track you. Just go to the top left, click on the leaf and then select "New Identity". That'll restart your entire browser and supposedly give you a new IP. So whoever was trying to track you, they can't do that anymore.

A lot of TOR Browser users change the security as a first thing to do. Just go to the security settings and adjust it to High. You have to bear in mind that the higher you put this, the slower your browser is going to be. If you really want to be secure, put it all the way up to high or something in the middle and thus you should be having an optimum security.

So, to get into the Dark Web, the first you want to do is to log on to the wiki page (http://zqktlwi4fecvo6ri.onion/wiki/index.php/Main_Page) where you can find a bunch of deep web links and choose your quest from the list. You will find Grams link which you can use it as the dark Web search engine. This Wiki link may not work the time you're reading this article if it will be ahead in the future from today's date because those links do change all the time. I'll keep it updated whenever I can.
