How does a person surf the Dark Web? Or is it just porn, and other stuff? Or anything worth reading? I think it would be kind of hard to use the dark web. (lemmy.world)

  1. Get a VPN and connect to it. Make sure it's a good one that auto reconnects if the connection drops.

  2. Download the TOR browser and probably read some guides about how to configure it for maximum privacy.

  3. Get completely lost once you're connected trying to figure out how to actually find and navigate the dark web. Usually involves finding a dark web search engine.

  4. Be careful where your keystrokes lead you. They call it dark for a reason.
