Summary
The writer explains how to access the dark web for those who don’t want to break the law, focusing on the importance of good security in doing so.
The first step is to ensure that the computer being used is safe and secure, which can be done by downloading Tor from its official site and adjusting its security settings.
While some recommend VPNs, the writer doesn’t think they are necessary to explore the dark web, although for an extra layer of security, Whonix, which runs on top of Windows and encrypts all data, can be used.
The writer stresses the importance of knowing that the dark web is slower than the regular internet, and this should be expected.
Specific search engines designed for the dark web, like Ahmia.fi, can be used to find legitimate sites and filter out illegal ones.
It’s crucial to bookmark trusted sites and carefully check URLs, while also being careful not to share personal information or download files.
The writer only uses the dark web for research and never sells or buys anything, limiting browsing time also.
