There’s a part of the internet known as the deep web. The deep web is called the deep web because of it’s massive size, it’s literally ‘deep’. According to The Guardian, you can only access 0.03% of the internet via search engines like Google and the rest is what makes up the deep web. The deep web is truly anonymous – you can’t even get on it unless you’re anonymous.
How do I access the deep web?
You can’t just access the deep web from a normal web browser, like Firefox for example, you can only access the deep web through a deep web browser, such as Tor.
When using your deep web browser such as Tor you are truly anonymous, your location cannot be picked up and neither can your browsing habits. To get started with your deep web broswer, head over to the Tor homepage, download the Tor deep web browser and run it. Once you have done this you will be part of the Tor network and able to visit the deep web.
Once you’re running your deep web browser you simply type in a deep web address like you would in a normal browser, hit enter and Bob’s your uncle. All sites on the deep web are .onion domains, which basically means both the provider and user are anonymous and difficult to trace. Head here for a list of .onion website addresses that are part of the deep web and accessible via Tor.
