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.

    Generally with TOR or a Tails live CD.

    I personally don’t find anything of value there. There is porn, legal and illegal kinds, drug stores, credit card stores, there is even a Turkish database of all their citizens from a couple years ago.

    Some small communities 4chan style.

    There are a lot of scam sites too, either run by feds or just regular scammers.

          TOR is a secure VPN service that doesn’t necessarily exit to the regular Internet; TOR Browser is a Firefox-based web browser with the TOR VPN client built in.

        Nothing to do with torrents at all.
