The dark web is the World Wide Web content that exists on darknets: overlay networks that use the Internet but require specific software, configurations, or authorization to access.
Wikipedia
The dark web contains a lot of content that doesn’t exist on the normal world wide web sites. These sites only use the .onion domain and no other world wide web domain is available on the darkweb. Examples of such content are:
- File uploads and transfers
- Whistleblowing websites
- Dark web versions of popular websites
- Black markets
- Email services
How to access the darkweb
To access the darkweb you need an anonymity browser called Tor browser.
What is Tor?
Tor is free and open-source software for enabling anonymous communication. It directs Internet traffic through a free, worldwide, volunteer overlay network, consisting of more than seven thousand relays, to conceal a user’s location and usage from anyone performing network surveillance or traffic analysis.

Tor browser
The Tor Browser is a web broswer that anonymizes your web traffic using the Tor network, making it easy to protect your identity online.
If you’re investigating a competitor, researching an opposing litigant in a legal dispute, or just think it’s creepy for your ISP or the government to know what websites you visit, then the Tor Browser might be the right solution for you.
Tor browser is the only browser that can be used to access the darkweb since it’s one of the most secure browsers and it’s the only one that can open .onion domains. Tor is available on most popular operating systems and you can download any version of the browser on their website and also for mobile users you can find Tor Browser on the Google Play Store on Android and the App Store on iOS. Now that you have downloaded the Tor browser, follow these simple steps and you’ll be in the darkweb in no time:
- Connect to any VPN for anonymity
- Create a darkweb email. You can create an email for the darkweb with any of the following websites and note that these websites can only be viewed with the Tor Browser.
- sigaintevyh2rzvw.onion
- lelantoss7bcnwbv.onion
- ncikv3i4qfzwy2qy.onion
- protonirockerxow.onion
- mail2tor2zyjdctd.onion
