How To Access the DARK WEB in 2024 (3 Levels)
About this video
He presents three levels for accessing the dark web, stressing legitimate uses such as journalism and free expression alongside illegal activity and stolen data for sale. Level 1 is downloading the Tor Browser alone, which he calls the most insecure way: he shows connecting through three onion routers, visiting .onion sites such as the New York Times version, and finding sites via the Hidden Wiki or the Ahmia search engine because normal search engines do not index them. Level 2 adds a VPN before Tor, so an ISP and the first onion router cannot as easily see the Tor connection or real IP address, and sets the Tor Browser security level to Safest to disable features such as JavaScript. Level 3 uses Tails, the Amnesic Incognito Live System, booted from a USB stick of at least 8 GB written with Balena Etcher, so the system forgets use after shutdown; he also mentions his cloud browser as an additional option.
Key takeaways
- Tor Browser routes traffic through three onion routers with layered encryption
- Dark web sites use .onion addresses and are not indexed like clearnet sites
- Using a VPN before Tor hides Tor use from the ISP and the entry node, he argues
- Setting Tor Browser to Safest disables JavaScript and other risky features
- Tails booted from USB leaves no trace by default and routes traffic through Tor
