The Internet is quite a fun place, and as you know, it consists of hundreds of millions of websites where you can find useful information. Today, we are all constantly on the Internet - surfing with smartphones, using computers, using social networks, talking to people on forums, watching YouTube videos, and similar sites ... But do you know that this is just the tip of the iceberg for the Internet? We can divide the Internet into a "surface", that is, those indexed websites that you can access via direct link or find it through the Internet search engine, and that other part that is called "deep web".
But there is another corner of the Internet called the "dark web" that interests us today. It is about the "dark corners" of the Internet in which it is a bit harder to get in and where Internet activists try to share content through private channels. Of course, this is all about legal and illegal content, and you can find many bizarre things that you should avoid and which you do not want to see.
Many shuffle concepts and when they think dark webs say deep web and vice versa. The surface of the Internet is all that search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing can crawl. When the pages are indexed, this means that they are in the database of the companies in question and users can find these pages if they write a good query. Likewise, sites must be optimized well (there is a whole branch in IT that deals exclusively with this) so that the user can get them and how they can be better reflected in the search results. Therefore, if you enter the "PC Chip" in the search engine you will get a link to our website. That means she's indexed. Also to get it typed into some other keywords, the question is whether or not it would be at the top of the result. There are numerous articles, but also books on how to crawl a website, so we'll leave it for another time.
Deep web (also called deepnet, invisible web and hidden web) is part of the Internet that is not indexed for a certain reason. Of course, this is not just about websites, but also databases, email servers, web forums you need to register, and more. It's clear why, say, Google can not crawl a database that is on the Internet. Because it is a private database that provides data over the web site and is protected by a username, password, and may be encrypted ... The same thing is with the forums that you need to register. Content is inaccessible until you register. The search engines are not registered on the forums. One "searches" publicly available information on a web site and indexes it, or records it in its databases. Some websites are struggling to force their contents to be indexed because they do not want them to be so easy to get through search engines. The question is what is the ratio of "surface", or available web and deep web? We would say that maybe only 15-20 percent of the pages are indexed, and that the rest falls into the deep web.
And here we come to the dark web, or the dark corner of the Internet. The dark web is a small part of the deep web that intends to remain hidden and unavailable through standard web browsers. You can not enter a web address or IP address and access the dark web. There are inescapable ways to get to him and no one will "accidentally pull" on the same. Most of the popular content on the dark web is located on the TOR network. We will say a little more about the TOR, but we can say that TOR is an anonymous network that can only be accessed with TOR web browsers. Special protocols are needed to open such pages and see what they offer. Already this fact tells you that there are no news from the world on such sites, but some of the darker things that, we repeat, are not for everyone. Indeed, IT experts recommend that you do not go to that part of the Internet at all.
TOR is a shortcut to The Onion Router (see their logo and everything will be clear to you) and was originally created as a network of servers developed by the US Navy to allow people to surf anonymously on the Internet. Today, it is a non-profit organization that has taken over the research and development of the tool so that you can be anonymous on the Internet. It is no longer connected to the US Army or any (American) agency so be sure that they are not behind it. The TOR network "destroys" your identity by redirecting your Internet traffic through a large number of servers, encrypts all traffic, and it is impossible for someone who intercepts traffic (if it can even intercept it) comes to you. We say, if someone is able to track a small part of the traffic, they will see randomly a lot of traffic from different servers (nodes) and nothing will be clear about it. All traffic is encrypted so you can not see what is hidden in these Internet packages, nor can you find out where they are from and where they are going. TOR is the network of virtual tunnels through which Internet packages travel. When you are part of the network, you become a server that redirects Internet traffic. People and their computers actually make up the TOR network with the help of additional software that allows it.
There are, of course, additional TOR servers that overwhelm huge amounts of data to make the TOR network work fast. Of course, it works a little slower than "classic" surfing the Internet, but that's the price you have to pay if you want to be anonymous. Where does it all begin? It starts by going to www.torproject.org and downloading the appropriate web browser or TOR browser. We recommend that you dedicate some time to the TOR and its configuration. These are the tiny steps that you have to do in certain cases, but on official sites you have forums where people will explain how to connect to the TOR network. In most cases, it is enough to download and install the TOR browser and when you start it, you press the "Connect" button that will do a lot of work for you.
When you get a sign that you are connected to the TOR network you can start anonymous surfing. You can open all "normal" websites through the TOR browser, only then the opening of the website will last a bit longer than through a regular web browser and your Internet service provider will not be able to see what you are searching on the Internet. Something like a VPN service, just free. If you want to generally protect your ISP from monitoring, use the TOR browser freely for all your needs.

I love deep web ! #anonymous
Please beck upvot and follow me @natural.beauty
Nice post,
Keep in mind that visiting the wrong website can easily compromise
Tor's features.
Think as in footprints left vs footprints prevented.
