**Introduction** It is extremally easy to **access the dark web** and even more easier to **be detected** on it if you don’t **take precautions**. If you are **new** to the **darknet** , this guide will help you on your way to becoming a **dark web professional**! **What is the Dark Web?** The **Dark Web** , or **Darknet** , is a general term for a **collection of websites** on a **encrypted network** with hidden **IP addresses** - all of which give users **strong anonymity protection**. So because these websites are **not indexed** by traditional search engines, such as **Google or Bing** , you can only access them with **special anonymity browsers** , such as **IP2** and the most common one, **The Onion Router (TOR) bundle**. **Is the Dark Web the Deep Web?** The **Dark Web** is **NOT** the same as the **Deep Web**. The **Deep Web** is all the sites on the web that **can’t be researched** with a **search engine**. Although, this **includes** sites on the **Dark Web** , it also includes sites that serve **much mundane functions** , such as **business intranets, webmail platforms, databases, online banking platforms, and services** that usually require a **password** or other means of **authentication**. These are found and accessed **directly** with a **URL** or **IP address** , and are **hidden behind firewalls, paywalls and HTML forms**. This is because all these other pages are included in the **Deep Web** , the **Deep Web** is actually **far more vast** than the **regular internet** (also known as the **Clear Web** ). **Safely accessing the Dark Web** How to **access** the **Dark Web safely**. The main **gateway** to the **Dark Web** is the **Tor Browser**. This is an **encrypted network** of **volunteer relays** around **the world** through which user’s internet **connections are routed**. Although, **the relays** are an **integral part** of what makes **TOR anonymous** , they can also lead to **slow connections**. This is because rather than connecting **directly to the server** of the **website** you want to visit, you first have to go through **the relays** , which are often **purposely scattered** around the **globe**. Also, since the **system is decentralized** , not all the **relays** have the same **CPU** , meaning that while **some are fast and powerful** , others might **operate at a snail’s pace**. The **easiest** way to browse web pages is to download and install the **TOR browser bundle**. **TOR URL’s** end in the suffix **.onion**. Unlike **.com websites** , the **URL’s** are usually **complex and difficult** to remember, and websites will often **change their URL’s** in order to **evade detection** and **DDoS attacks**. When you’re on the **Dark Web** , **ISP’s - and by extension** , the **government** - might **not** be able to **view your activity** , but they **will know** you are on the **TOR network**. This **alone** is enough to raise some eyebrows in **some countries**. That’s why **I recommend** to access **TOR by using a VPN**. That way, your **internet traffic** is **routed through the VPN** before going through **the TOR network** and finally reaching it’s destination. With this method, your **ISP** only sees the **encrypted VPN traffic** , and **won’t know** you’re on the **TOR network**. The **major concern** with using **TOR** over a **VPN** is that it **requires your VPN provider** , as the **provider may see** that you are using **TOR**. To mitigate this issue, use a **VPN** that **does not log** your activities, and connect to your **VPN before opening** the **TOR browser**. **Enjoy!** ---
